Decals or transfers for heater

Post by miniminor »

Anyone got a source to replace the "car / screen / off decals" on the heater body? I could do with repainting my heater in order to smarten it up but naturally want to have the original lettering replaced.
Any suggestions gratefully received.

There's a thread somewhere with the correct font and size, might be on the Mini Cooper Forum.

Yes,I am sure there was a post on here or the old Mk1 Site.Where the Member had used these in white http://www.letraset.com/products/108-Ti ... oman-Bold/ to good effect.
