I did the same to my Clubby last year. Bought the letters from outmotoring, if I remember correctly. My MA tells me that in Europe, they have the name "Clubman" in the back...

http://www.youremblem.com/ - I ordered couple of letters from these guys when I supercharged a Scion I used to have. Company's been around for a long time. Price is a little on the crazy side for a long word like CLUBMAN.

I see us texans have the same taste ! I am trying to start a mini cooper owners east texas chapter so if you know anyone in east texas and own a mini tell them to search face book for "East Texas MINI Coopers " There seems to be alot of minis showing up around here .I took the midnight clubman to a cars show and won my class saturday i beat like 9 other cars .They were not minis .
