R56; R50; etc

I ordered a stick on R56 for my back hatch under "COOPER", but after a couple of months the chrome started to come off, leaving the white plastic. An internet search provided the site below, so I gave them a try. The letters are exactly like the ones used for "COOPER". They are thick in the center and thin on the top and bottom, giving a rounded look just like the ones from the factory. They seem to be high quality and I love the look. Looks very OEM.

Italic Chrome - Car Letters, Car Numbers, Decals, Punctuation

I had the same problem - I used a degreaser on the outmotoring letters and it took all the chrome off - they did send another set, but they didn't hold up either (note: outmotoring is one of my favorite suppliers) Thanks for the link, I've ordered some letters and will see how they do

These really look just like the factory ones and I hope they hold up as well. So far they have, but it has only been about 24 hours.
