    Kristan can custom make anything you guys/gals might think up, color of choice, so if you have a need. :) :)

    Just ask her. Try our MINI5280 FB pages, she checks that page or her own page on FB.

    Or email her via ArtisticReflection.

    One of mine was Peeling on its own, so I applied some goo-gone and it worked right off. That made me think, what about removing the other one.

    So I put some goo-gone and that one and NOTHING, I did get it off.

    It required light heat from a heat gun, goo-gone on a paper towel left to sit for a good amount of time, extremely light cuts with an Olaf-Knife (think Exacto).

    It seems that what is really keeping the goo-gone out is the outside of the sticker, to the extremely light cuts enable the goo-gone to seep into the sticker and cause the glue to let go.

    If your stickers are still in good shape I do not suggest messing with them as its a total pain to remove them.

    I was able to get them off using lacquer thinner and mild rubbing. They turned out great.

    Yes. That's what I used to get them off the visors in my Miata. I haven't decided whether I want to tackle the MINI or not.

    :cornut: I bought better stickers to cover them up with but that company doesn't care for us MINI types any more as although his products were quality, service was LOUSY(!) and we all told him so. He hasn't made MINI stuff since. :Thumbsup:
