Bonnet Stripes - Where to buy them?

Hey all. I'm going to be purchasing a new 2020 2-door hardtop S this weekend. The car is on the dealers lot, and it's naked - no bonnet stripes. I'd like to get those stripes that are wide black in the middle, and have a thin red stripe on both sides. My Motoring Advisor says they have been discontinued. Do you know if this is true?

There are a lot of local shops out there that cut and lay vinyl and can do some custom work, I'd ask other people at your MINI dealer if they have a recommendation. I'd go with anything but MINI OEM for stripes for sure.

Where are you located?

Sounds like MINI of Mt. Laurel has a company they work with. Give their service department a call, they should be able to give you some more direction

You can also find TONS of online stripe makers.

These guy's are in the UK, but they ship here, and you can customize just about everything.

Here would be what you are looking for - https://www.mini-graphics.co.uk/grap...onnet-stripes/

I bought a set once by accident. I was buying some stuff from aliexpress, I didn't realize I selected the wrong thing. When I got it, it was not what I expected lol... So you can have it. It's red outer/black inner. Just pay shipping. PM me.

I bought a couple of sets of stripes from this online store: https://www.thepixelhut.com/collecti...ecals/cooper-s

I am very happy with both the stripe quality and price. Good people to deal with too.

I just went to my local vinyl shop had had them make and apply the hood stripes, the grille stripe and the red roof wrap. Certainly cheaper than the dealership and I could spec satin black for the centre of the hood stripes instead of gloss black. I feel it looks better on a black car.

These are the OEM options https://www.ecstuning.com/Mini-2014-...or/Body/Decal/
Otherwise you can have them made and have something unique or custom. . Get the OEMs if you like to keep it OEM.

We got the deal on the little known boot (trunk) MINI stripes: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...clearance.html
$1.37 for the rears on the black with gray for the Cooper S

They are not the center sport stripes but if you change your mind its still a good deal for the traditional ones.

Its not hard to do them yourself, just get some painters tape, good putty knife, and some mild soap spray.
