Hi! New here! I need sticker help!

Im an expecting Mini Mama. I am finally purchasing a Mini after a long awaited 14 yr realtionship with my 94 Saturn SL (stolen twice this year, I am finally investing in a car I actually have fun with). I am so glad to be here and learn as much as I can about MINI Performance, but first, I want to personalize it.

My question is this: I would like to apply specialty stripes on my electric blue, Mini Cooper S, PremPkg, but I am not satisfied with the dealer options. Is there anyone who could guide me as to what website I can order some on? Can I apply it myself or pay to have a professional do it? Gracias for the help!

We decided that after going through two sets of vinyl bonnet stripes in 2 years to have permenant stripes painted on by a local paint and body guy. It cost $200 (about what we paid for two sets of vinyl with installation). He even painted our new M7 Extreme scoop a matching color while he was at it. It was all clear-coated afterward and should last pretty long since we usually have a bra on as well.
Welcome to the world of MINI!

Thanks for the tip, I prefer that they are permanent, I just hope I can choose the best colors for my star design on Electric Blue. I appreciate everyone's input here!!! I want to race it on the track at laguna or Sears Point, so I need a spiffy, sporty look!

Welcome to NAM!

I can't believe your Saturn was stolen twice?! That's terrible!

Enjoy your new fun car! I'll be leaving the Saturn family next March when the lease is up on our L series...we have no plans to buy another, this one was our second...time to move on to bigger and better things...err and Mini things too!

I had a '95 SL, and my wife had a '95 SL1, both bought new. Both were good cars with minimal amounts of trouble. Welcome to the MINI family.
