Mini Bonnet Decal Replacement HELP!!

Hi everyone, so my 2006 r53's bonnet decal has started to fade and get black spots all over. I don't know if the sun has just had its way with it, or how it happened but i'm looking to replace it. Does any one know where i could find this exact bonnet design decal online? I have looked for a while and can't seem to find it. It is most commonly used on the checkmate minis.
I have pictures of my mini in my gallery, or you could just click on the link below.
Thanks!

I had the same on mine removed them right after purchase and replaced with rally stripes.
I would suggest going to local vinyl shop and have them trace the design then remove and replace.

I agree with docv. A local shop can match it, and install for you. Probably pretty cheap, too.

MiniMania sells the stripe if you go if you prefer the pre-made route:

Hi Eddie, the same thing has happened to mine but I wish to replace it with a different design. When you took yours off, was there visible paint colour differneces?
Any details you can give me about the state of the paint, how easy it was to remove etc would be really helpful, my checkmate is exactly the same as yours!
Thanks!
Candice
