Just get a hood scoop from dealer in Thunder Blue, cause then if you want to sell the car you still have oe part. Cause I know if I was in the market for GP I would NOT buy one with decal missing.

My decal is faded/blemished. MINI says they won't replace unless it coming off but on further look it may be starting to peel away. Anyone had smilar blemish issues with the decal?

My GP decal has blemishes on it. Looks almost like hard water spots but it is not. The spots will not clean off and my guess is they are under the surface so not cleanable.

I pulled my bonnet decals. The decal around the scoop was lifting at both ends where they met at the bottom of the scoop. The scoop black out was so faded you couldn’t even read the GP any more. I had a local shop make a GP decal for the scoop and left it like that.
