Is there any chemical or blade that can get rid of the Rover decals above the rear view mirror?

The air bag/ etc/etc/ decals"

They seem as hard as glass!

You may be contravening the construction and use regulations which is much much higher than the MOT.....  I would if I were you get some advice from somebody in DVSA

Why would you want to do this if you don't mind me asking?

Aren't they laser etched on? I have a new screen here with them on but it gives originality to the car so leaving them be.

The only reason is that I don't like them!

I've had lots of minis over the years and they were never necessary because there was never any airbag.

Im sure someone can explain how much safer the world is by announcing that this car has an airbag but to me they just scream this is a Rover mini as opposed to a timeless mini.

It always strikes me as the nanny state affecting my car!

I never said I had a good reason!!

 

When I was building a Cobra replica, I was allowed to put a 6.8 litre V8 in a plastic home made car with no abs, airbags etc. but to get it past the IVA inspection......I had to cover the bolt heads in the engine bay with flammable plastic covers thus ensuring the car was safe.
