Custom Stripes Question

I have ordered custom stripes from MiniStripes for the boot and bonnet, I was sent one piece that was 44inches long, and looks to be one piece. Will that fit both the boot and bonnet of my Mini Clubman? My big issue with this is we will not get our Clubman until Mid October and will be flying out to LV to get it. We will have a LV Paint and Protection put on the stripes, clearbra and tint before we head back to SoCal. I just want to make sure I have the right length of stripes. I assumed it would come in two pieces one for the bonnet and one for the boot.

If you only received one piece, and it's only 44 inches long, that's not going to be enough to do the boot and the bonnet, especially if it's a two-stripe design like the factory stripes.

44 inches is probably enough to do two vertical stripes on the boot, but that's not going to leave you much of anything to do the bonnet. I think the bonnet is about 40 inches from the front edge to the rear edge, so it sounds like you're missing about 80 inches worth of stripe.

Thanks Scott I am playing email tag with MiniStripes. Hopefully this time he realizes they need to send me the 2nd section for the boot.

So is your design just a single stripe on the bonnet and a single stripe on the boot, then? Otherwise, I don't think the piece you have is even going to cover the bonnet.

I just want this worked out before we pickup the Clubman in Vegas in a few weeks.
