Here is more of those stripes.

 

One of my early photoshop renders whilst waiting for delivery! The real deal will done next weekend.

 

Hey, I am based in the UK but I guess any vinyl shop or vehicle wrapping place can do it. I just worked out the widths I wanted and then picked the vinyl colours. Lots of amazing tones available now, the matte metallic red is real cool.

 

Exactly right.... thanks, I'll mask them off. I think if I were getting a Mini I might go without the stripes, but my wife seems to like them and it will be her car.

It seems like there are not many that get clear bras on thier Mini's. I'd assume that you'd cut the clear bra to go between the stripes, it probably wouldn't work going over top of them.

 

I striped over my clear bra. I paid ~$750 for the clear bra and installation, and did the stripes myself for $60. Stripes are much easier to put on than a clear bra. I didn't like the factory stripes on the Countryman, so I went with stripes down the middle. Figured if I didn't like the stripes, or wanted to go with different stripes, I could just remove them.

For the OP question: I had a slight concern about paint fade, but it didn't deter me from having stripes. My MINI's are garaged and I use a quality sealant to help protect the paint from the sun.

 

I have a 2005 Mini Cooper S (R53) with bonnet stripes. The car is dark silver, with white roof and white stripes. My stripes are OEM and they've held up great! I bought the car used, very recently, with 80,000 miles on them, and the stripes look great. There is very light wear on them, with the only serious blemish being a chip (but that happens to paint too). They haven't faded at all - maybe because they're white - but they look nice still. If you're into stripes, get them! Just take some extra care of them. There's some great threads on the detailing 101 forum regarding stripe maintenance. Enjoy!

 

Not a fan of the stripes however if I do plan to do them then it will be matte bodycolor so it doesn't stand out to much.

I think that would look sharp. Anyone done that yet?

 

What's a Mini without stripes?? Had stripes and 35% tint done before we picked it up. It's been 5 years and they still look great!

 

Have the JCW side stripes ordered and will get racing or Vipers after delivery
