Jordan I checked at dealer and they dont sell them unless you have a mc40 vin # you can give them. A friend found them on ebay though a couple of weeks back. Sorry I dont have the link for this item though.

There are 2 mc40's on ebay right now. the ad's list VIN numbers. Get those numbers if the dealer asks give them one of those numbers.

Dealer's are able to know whether or not a VIN number is actually retailed to a customer or not. Not a good idea to steal the VIN number. Buy an MC40!

You're going to "MC40-ize" a MCS that's not an actual MC40?

With all due respect, some might call that...well, nevermind, to each his own.

If you're looking for just general merchandise for the MINI Monte Carlo, I DID see a commemortive license/plaque that they were selling at my Local MINI dealership...its Monte Carlo logo, about the size of a US license plate. (available to anyone, with or without a proper vin number)

you can still buy an MC40, that's for sure... two dealers here in Chicago still have at least one for sale... the dealer in Naperville has theirs in service as a demo b/c they cannot sell it!

Some of you guys need to get a bit of holiday cheer and cut Jordan a break!

Notice where he is located - ENGLAND!
Difficult to buy an MC40 in Chicago when you live in England.


Jordan,
A good decal shop should be able to make pretty good duplicates. In USA I think ToddsMods could help you, but I don't know any places on your side of the water ...

I'm not clear why anyone would want an MC40, let alone make an MCS look like one.

911fan, other than the paint, stickers and a few other odds & ends the MC40 is basically the same as the MINI most of us drive. So you don't need to be clear on why someone else would like to do something you wouldn't.

Justin is simply looking for help on where to pick up a few MC40 items and is obviously having a hard time getting ahold of these items in England, so if you can help, help. If not let's cut the guy some slack!

Jordan,
With a bit more time to research, check out the following:
One of my weblog entries about the MC40 - a commenter mentioned removing their decals; maybe they would sell them to you.
Searching turns up this link on MINI2, this link on NAM, and this link on NAM. Checking those links and making contact with the posters might help you.
