MC40 Decals and Stickers

HI there. I've just acquired MC40 600/1000 JCW package and, unfortunately, it did not have all of the decals with it. The flag on the roof and the 40th anniversary stickers on the rear quarter panels are faded. I would LOVE to be able to bring it back to its original condition but I need a little help with all of the stickers and magnetic decals. I have no idea where to start. Can anyone help me out with this?

Well, I guess I am an MC40 owner now though I took all the stickers off (I really didn't like them). How do I look up what # it is?

There should be a silver plaque between the shifter and the E brake indicating that it is an MC40 and #?/1000. If yours doesn't have it, either it came unglued or it was ripped out.

There is a lot of information on MC40s in this thread. Consider reading the entire thread as an education. A couple pages back, I posted a number of vendors that can provide decals and magnetic numbers.

Hello everyone! #80 here. Was wondering if anyone knows what the dimensions of the #37 door magnets are. I'm unable to find anywhere to buy them, so I'm having a local company make them using 3M material. Just in need of the original dimensions. Thanks for all your help.

Graphic dimensions?

Could someone give me the size dimensions for the MC40 graphics please?
The rear fender 40th graphic, the hood 40th graphic, and the hood number plate graphic.
The length and width for each.
I have someone that says they can reproduce them for me as mine are gone. Thank you for any help. Dave.

Mine puts a smile on my face every time I drive it.
Had it 4 years now with 63K miles.
It is amazingly fast with the JCW option.
I was able to get the graphics and door numbers made.
I will post the source.
Hope to install them soon. It's either been raining, to hot, or now to cold. Dave

I don't know either number :/..I bought the one on the right for a good price to daily drive and love it, going strong with 140k..the one on the left I just picked up for $1,000 and I think it has a siezed alternator and it has 98k miles on it , most likely going to get it running and sell it

Thanks! I've been trying to find out my number since I bought the car over a year ago, would really love to find out both now because it would be amazing if they were close in number. But I've tried mini dealers who don't even know what an mc40 is and was told to call mini north America and they said there's no way to find out exactly what number it was, all they can find out is what date and year it was produced supposedly. If anyone knows how please let me know !!

Is there anything that can be done to repair my wheels? The car lived in the northern salt climate for about 8 years and seems to have eaten up part of the circular trim. See the pics.
