Maxdude,

Found the original dealer from my service manual, emailed them to say that they had originally sold the car from new and that it was now missing it's JCW certificate thanks to the previous owner.

Simply asked them what I could do about getting a replacement. I quoted the VIN number, JCW number and the cars Reg number. Made it clear that I didnt know if they had fitted the kit or when it was fitted.
Think they looked up the VIN number and could tell me exactly when it had been fitted and how many miles the car had done. They said that they would have to contact Mini in Germany to order a new one and that it shouldn't be a problem. Got an email the next day to say that it had been ordered and that I would get it within 10-14 days.

I would maybe try phoning or emailing another dealer, maybe even hassle them by letting them know that I have succeeded in getting a replacement!!

Hope this helps Maxdude, and everybody else!!

Dave
