4 ) Once the sticker has been removed there will be a sticky residue left. This needs to be cleared away. This also stands for missing stickers. We use 311, IPA, lighter fuel or brake cleaner so that it is clear and clean, ready to apply the new sticker. It is important that the panel is free from dirt, oil or grease to make a bond...

The sticker has been made with a clear laminate. We asked for this so they do not fade with ink removal further down the line. It has been a long road to get to this stage. So, to finally get these to a point of being able to offer these out to help owners with their cars, is a massive relief.
Now just a foot note, from December 2000. The MK 2.5 UK spec MX5 (unsure about left hand drive) stopped having a build sticker and just became a long sticker on the B post of the Vin number only. On the Mk 2.5 JDM versions the stickers remained.
The MK 1 & MK 2 UK spec mx5 special Editions did not have a Grade or special edition letters printed on the stickers. This is because they were shipped over here then sent to a secret location to be kitted out to the editions for sale here. So, do not have an edition mark/stamp from the factory, although we can add the edition if wished which is a nice touch. Some JDM editions, for some reason, also had an unmarked edition on the sticker. As far as we are aware, at the minute (unless someone can show us otherwise) the MK 1 JDM J-ltd did not come with a build sticker. Which I find strange, as well as some early G reg versions. Prove us wrong and get in touch with helping our research!
