Have recently put a new door on my Mini City, only problem is that the other door has a black spot stuck on and this door is left without one! Don't know where previous owner bought the black spot originally, and peeling other one off is a big no no as the paint will come with it. Picture is attached showing what I'm looking for. Not the greatest I know but was only one of passenger side I had. Would be grateful for any help.

get a heat gun to gently help you peel the vinyl off and some warm soapy water to help get the sticky stuff off.

a body shop should be able to remove it also.

what is it your actually asking?

How to remove the spot?
- Heat gun as suggested. Hair dryer will work, take your time and pull slowly and evenly as possible. Remove the glue left on the door with a good car shampoo and woolen mint. then polish.

Or where to buy them?
Ebay, magazines, theres a company who do all kinds of stickers and that, cant remember there name tho.

Sorry didn't make myself clear I was looking to buy a second spot for the door. Thanks for your replies will look on ebay now. Would prefer to buy a sticker to match, although if I cannot find an exact one I will heed your advice and remove the sticker. Thanks a lot for your help

take your car over to a graphics and sign writters place and they should be able to make you and identical one.

Im not sure where you are, but there is a wicked place in Birmingham called "reynolds" they are a signwritter and i have all my club stickers made there. If your really stuck, then sort out some measurments or do me an exact copy - send it to me and ill go see what they say for ya :(
