Heya
well not really

The 6 came off my roof number, leaving me with GP 198 instead of 1986. No idea how but happened last 24 hours. Anyone have any issues? should i call BMW? or ? what should i expect?

Cheers,
Lorien

I know when I looked into getting a spare it was a six week leadtime for a replacement and you order by Chassis number only, you cannot spec the number you want its worked out off factory records...... Cannot remember the price though, think it was around £80.......

thats mental for a roof number

£80

£80?

Surely a decent signwriter or vehicle graphics specialist could make up a replacement 6?

Give Phil Craddock at MINI Pirate a call. I'm sure he's got a font almost identical to the GP lettering font which would work, and would be much cheaper.

Can't see it falling off??!!! I think some little punk has probably done it on purpose :grrr:

You should see if MINI will fix it under warranty.

Won't hurt to inquire

Good idea.

I've seen stranger things get approved under warranty, especially if the car is under 12 months old

MiniNana · Oct 10th, 2007, 02:05 AM

That should be a warranty deal!!! If it's not, it should be!

Tonyt3 · Oct 10th, 2007, 03:53 PM

You have to ask, wouldnt it have been better to paint the number on?

Richard Crofts · Oct 10th, 2007, 04:10 PM

Would have taken more time, and been more expensive per vehicle to produce...its all about the profit and how fast you can turn something around Tony .... typical BMW MINI thought process

Yes and put it on both sides of the car

T1OOL · Oct 10th, 2007, 06:57 PM

what about the dashboard sticker would not mind gettin a few of them under each side of the indicators/ anybody priced them??

Joogle · Oct 10th, 2007, 09:05 PM

My dealers been trying to get a part number for those for months...............

Even if they do find a part number, I very much doubt MINI will supply two with the same number on when the car originally only came with one

Joogle · Oct 11th, 2007, 12:06 AM

I would be happy with just the one.... all I want is a spare set of OEM ltd edition no. specific parts.....

So far the roof number is the only item they can get me - not too surprised as I would have thought it would be classed as a wear and tear item for situations such as Lorien now finds himself in. Really be surprised if you cannot get spares......

Lorien · Oct 11th, 2007, 11:19 AM

ok BMW service have told me to take the car to the dealer. no idea if under warranty or not. will keep you all updated

damn.. as if i have nothing better to do than spend all morning on this
