Swap Sport/DSC button caps

Does anyone have experience in replacing the ASC OFF/Sport buttons?
I have a MINI Justa with the sports button mod and I want to change the button saying "ASC OFF" for the button saying "SPORT" without changing the entire switch nor additional wiring (only the button with the legend) and I don't know if it is possible.

In the case that it is possible I will buy a new Cooper S switch and I will swap the buttons.

I don't think so...based on the realoem diagrams it doesn't look like the buttoncaps are separate parts

Those clips on the sides seem to be what are holding them to the switch ...

Trying popping the caps. Their are tabs on the side, but be careful. I have seen they are held on by tabs but I have never removed one. Again it's not a separate part.

ECS, thank you for the advice.
Do you have a good price for the switch with Sport button?
I would prefer try to remove it on the new switch and then if succesful, in the current one.

Thank you!

Welcome.

I know you are in Uruguay, what the line up as it is now? There are certain combinations based off what you have. PM me your last 7 digits of your Vin and then I can post up the part.

Dear, I'm in Uruguay but I work with you always with my address in Miami, FL, no problem with that.

I have the "sport button retrofit" working in my Cooper non-S (with DSC button).

Thank you again for your time
