I apply my numbers to the rear windows, and take them off before I leave the track. If left on,they are an invitation for a speeding ticket.

Yeah like those. I personally think that car looks pretty sick. If anyone has anymore pics that would be nice.

For some reason, putting a number on a car reminds me of this...

I was just thinking of racing numbers today. There's a beautiful British MGA race car on Bringatrailer in Bristol gray with black numbers and it looks unbelievably great. It crossed my mind how those would look on a MINI, but unless its built to race, its playing dress-up.

Haven't used em on the Mini yet, but these are my Autocross numbers.



Office Depot sells a magnetic sign kit, and then I used blank black sticker sheet to make the numbers. I printed the outline in reverse on the back side and then cut them out. The letters were available precut in 4" size. The numbers needed to be 8" which I couldn't find.

How about racing numbers that are decimals? If you're into MINI size jokes? A repeating decimal racing number would be pretty good.

Get on scca and look up local events. They are there in Miami. Plus get on Sunshine MINIs and look there at the MINIs of Miami section. Look up Pedro he will help you out.

These are very basic. My daughter got them for me when she was about 10 years old. She is now in college out of state. I like them because the remind me of her.

Some tracks insist that cars be numbered, also it helps the photographer sort the photos. The photographer supplies numbers for free at most events.

We got magnetic meatballs for our numbers:
