OK, I got stripes! The Mini style 2 on bonnet and 2 on boot.



Now for the question . . . the rear stripes didn't seem to be long enough or they were put on to low down. (I think) I believe the tops should meet with the chrome trim? If so where's a good place to get some white vinyl to fill the gap?



Thanks

 

Sorry I hate those boot stripes with a passion, it just looks cheap and nasty, they cut them badly around the Cooper S badge and they don't go all the way to the chrome strip; I can't understand why someone would waste there money on them.

 

+1 the cut around the badge looks very crooked

 

Well I'm going to take a bit of the leftover white vinyl and make the S white. Then it won't like so crooked because the S will stand out better. Once I get some sheet vinyl, I'll try and fill in the gap up top.

This is my first Mini so I'm a learner. (guess I should get my red L sign out?) :-)

 

Congratulations overall it looks sharp - I'm in hurry up & wait status

 

Chubby, my Mini is in production now too with an estimated completion date of Feb 7th. Wonder if we'll get on the same boat on the way over....

 

Hey Mini - that would be great - not sure though mine went into prod. 2/2

 

For what its worth I put the same stripes on my boot. I kind of felt like the Countryman needed something on the rear. But I had major problems with the Cooper S badge and where if fell within the stripes. I saw people cutting all the way across both stripes, positioning the stripes so it only cut into the larger. In the end, (pun intended) I just de-badged the Cooper S and did not cut into the stripes. Option two was to place the Cooper S right back on top of the stripes. I still have the letters in case I decide to do that.

As for not reaching the chrome trim, it didn't bother me because it doesn't reach the trim on the bonnet either. my $.02.

Oh, here's a pic of my boot.

Do the rock formations look familiar?

 

Now that look really nice. Very clean.

So far I think I'm going to try and remove the right part of the stripe beyond the S which will give it a straighter look. Then buy one new stripe and replace this one and put the "CooperS over the top.

Thanks for all the thoughts. :-)

 

Overall looks good, but I agree on fixing the cutout some how. Either debadge and patch or redo the whole stripe or change the cutout to just look better.
Then you'll have a sexy rear end

 

I have an absolute black CMS All4. Been wondering if I should add stripes too? Does anyone know if matte black strips will look good on absolute black? If anyone has done it, would you mind sharing a picture?

 

I'm 2 weeks away of putting matte black stripes on my all black All4. I'll post pictures soon ! I think it'll look great
If you search around these places you'll find a couple matte black stripes on black All4 pics, not too common (just the way I like it)!

 

I do not have a Countryman but have a Clubman that has matte black checkers over the factory black top. See me gallery.

 

Nice touch - very subtle, but effective.

 

Sure do. Vasquez Rocks. (Nice shot, BTW.)

 

You are correct. But I was actually referring to the header on the top of this website upper right corner. Although I don't think there is a paved road where that rock is.

And thanks for the complement. Love taking pix of the Countryman. Sad isn't it?
