hardingsan,

Thanks for the source; however, I noticed that the letters (photos) you posted are different than those posted by lancs clubbie. The latter ones are a more elongated font, which, personally I like better.

lancs clubbie - where did you get yours?

I like the the idea of "Clubman" on the boot. I did see the letters for sale on one of the vendor sites (I don't remember which at present). I think it might look better if the letters were slanted the same as "Cooper". I have been considering doing the same, but with replacing "Cooper" with "Clubman".

I bought the "CLUBMAN" letters (from outmotoring I think) but haven't decided where to put them. I removed all doodads/letters from the boot doors (see gallery) and was thinking about putting the lettering and a MINI badge on the club door near the bottom...

What's the best way to remove the letters?

I have been searching some websites that carry various styles of chrome letters and many mention using dental floss to remove existing letters (and my dealer's logo!!). Is that the best way?

What about any adhesive left on the car? Best solvent for that without damage to finish?

All help appreciated.

i used dental floss and then a regular multi-purpose degreaser to clean up the extra adhesive. make sure to mark the door somehow so you keep the new letters straight. that took the longest for me...

Nice! I really like your Clubman logo added to Cooper. Thanks for showing it to us. Was it difficult to add it?

whole thing took me 20 minutes, start to finish.

hardest part was getting the letters to look straight.

Stripes are custom....with the Pepper White being custom printed to ensure a total colour match to my vehicle. There is no reason why a vinyl company near to you should not be able to supply and install similar??

She tows alright actually...although the limit is about 600kgs I think according to the handbook....hence the all alloy trailer, as this allows maximum load due to minimal trailer mass.

When it is fully loaded to that kind of weight then I notice it more than I did behind the X3......but it is still perfectly comfortable with it.
