Toggle switch labels

I've been planning on creating an ejector seat toggle switch and will probably create my own graphic, but I came across this:

Does anybody know where that's from? (I'm a newb.. so maybe it's as simple as being in the manual?)

Anyway, I'd probably want to do my own anyway. Nothing funnier than a little graphic of a seat being launched out of a car!

Its part of the Unoffical Oweners Manual, MINI will send it to you shortly after they show you have taken delivery.

NOTE: All real ejector seat buttons are installed in the shift ****, those intsalled on the toggle bank are for display purposes only.

true.. you don't want your passenger knowing where the "real" switch is...

The "unofficial" manual - and MINI sends it to me? Cool!

Man.. what do these guys not think of!

Placing the MINI as a 007 car.
But there is this.

Sorry but MINI USA doesn't send these out any more, and from my research doesn't have any left anywhere either ...

Ask MINIUSA for a copy of the unnauthorized owners manual using the contact link on their web site. I did that a year ago and then sent me one (with stickers included) free. Unless they've run out...

I had Todd Pearson make up a set for me. The paper ones I got in my welcome kit weren't holding up very well. These are much better!

I should also point out the problems these stickers caused a friend this weekend. I was at a track day this past weekend. While I was in the classroom, it started raining *heavily*, and, of course, my windows were down. Lynn (who was spectating) was running around to all the cars with open windows and trying to put them up. She was absolutely flustered by my car. She struggled just finding the controls in the MINI, but had no idea that you had to raise the flaps and trigger the ejector seat to get my windows up! :-)

I would be interested if someone made translucent stickers so the orange light goes through the type.
Or better yet a whole new plastic panel.

Actually, you can see the light through my new stickers, but it only makes things look confusing. I do wish I could re-screen the panel, but I think that'd be just too much work. :-)

I was getting ready to PM you with the info from MINI Pirate, but I see you are already on the list for a 'few' sets of these. (Yeah, I'm a few days behind)

My plan is to do just one - for the blank spot that i will have where the rear fog goes.

i probably design my own and have a local design service print it out as a rub-on. That should be perfect
