"MINI" Label on motor is peeling, how to replace?

The label on my motor that says MINI is peeling and kind of looks crappy. I want to replace this. Does anyone know where I can kind a replacement label. Maybe something that can spice up the look under the bonnet.

I recommend you consider one of the cool 3-D replacements you can find from several aftermarket providers...



This particular source I know of has them in plain, checkers, U-Jack, and custom:

Probably easier to swap out a new engine in there.

Thanks for the info. The problem is the thin aluminum plate that reads MINI is coming loose. I wanted to replace that with something similar. Will the decal work without that plate?

it's just a small metal plate that is coming up. I can't imagine that is a difficult piece to change or upgrade.

Ah, I didn't even know it had that underneath. I may just do that but I would really prefer to have the label or something there to dress it up a bit.
