There are numerous places that will make up magnetic numbers for your doors on the internet.
However, if you're cheap like me you can buy 1" strips of magnetic material at many art and industrial supply places or on the web. Cutting the strips into 5" lengths you can make any number you want using LED and LCD layouts. Max speed about 60 mph.
If you get the 12" x24" pieces use tape to form your numbers (and class) on the pieces; the class nice cause its probably unchanged and numbers less so. Or buy the big number stick-ons at the art/paper supply/five&dime but that gets a little costly. (told I am cheap)

Note the photo shows the numbers and class letters in black on a white background; the white background is the magnetic material, not the letters and numbers. That is so the magnetic mat is large enough to hold on a steel or other magnetic door panel. (using just magnetic numbers and letters do not adhere well and often fall off.)
And if its cold you can warm the mat BRIEFLY on the top of the engine so the mat will more easily conform to the door contours. That of course, does shorten the mat magnetic life but it takes a couple of years to see a real effect, edges curling up, so the edge has to be trimmed.
cheers.
