New MINI owner

Hello everybody. I just bought a 2009 Clubman, and I would like to personalize it a bit. Can anyone recommend a vendor where I can get reasonably priced racing stripes, side stripes and wood dash veneer?

Once I get the decals, should I put them on myself or take them to the dealer? A lot of accessories are really expensive. Any opinions on those that have the most value for the price?

The car is a blast to drive, and I'm averaging 36 mpg to and from work. Couldn't be happier!

The R numbers are MINI internal numbers. They are model designations.. here's some info on which MINI Cooper has which R number!

Welcome to the forum, yeah check out Cooper Flags website, or Vinyl Designs, or check out you local vinyl sign outlets, they can do almost anything you can think of and maybe the cheapest for material and installation.

The R in the model numbers stands for Rover - part of MINI's family history. BMW now owns MINI but the R designation for models continues.
