Access to one, simple engraving canned routines. Painted and sanded to "fill" lettering.

Looks good, I can see one on the DDM CAI, it has a nice flat spot looking for something bright.

What are the dimensions?

Roughly 1 3/4" x 4 1/2" and uses double back tape to secure.

MINI 5280 plate

Well, Thanks to Bryan aka MiniConCarne, I just received my plate today... I was going to wait till after the detail class on Saturday to apply the plate since car will be clean and ready... but you all know how it is, everytime you got some new toy and couldn't wait any longer... so I decided to do it tonite instead... but I just couldn't find a place for it...The surface of the valve cover has a mini logo already...Maybe it is due to R56. But anyway, didn't want to go to bed dissappointed, so I did find a place for it... May not be the best, but heck... it looks nice when I open the hood...
Here are a couple pics... you be the judge...
Once again, thanks for the plate Bryan...

Glad you like it, it's good the R56's can use these as well! Have a few left.

Yeah, didn't really want all the attention today since car was (and still is) dirty. Should have done the car wash early in the morning. Oh well, definitely will wash it tomorrow.
For anyone who owns R56 and thinking about getting this plate, I did have to trim a quarter inch from the top and bottom to fit into that space. But it did turn out good.

I have one that reads R53 MINI. Awesome quality. Replaces the "MINI" logo on the motor perfectly.

Nice, I saw you passing one around during the ride on Saturday. It looked great as it flashed by.

Something special for MITM, excellent again.
