Checkerboard Strips?

Looking for a good vendor to purchase black/white checkerboard strips for our soon-to-arrive Countryman.

The wife wants dual checkerboard strips running from the front bumper, hood, roof and down the back.

Any suggestions?

Thanks. -steve

Try ebay. morris town and prestige are few dealerships that sales oem parts at competitive prices. You can also email them.

I think Aesthetic Creations sells them, but they are only for hardtops. The CM's bonnet is longer and so they would not be long enough. I haven't seen an option for the CM yet so you will have to continue to look around. You could always ask a company to do a custom job though. Lyle at Vinyl Styles is a good option and I think Aesthetic Creations also does custom jobs as well.

honestly, I would by them from an aftermarket source and do them yourself. Pretige is a great dealership and all, but when i called about getting racing stripes on the bonnet and boot i was quoted at $500! Ended up just buying the vinyl, centering everything with some painters tape, and installing them myself. Also i was able to run them down the bumper which the dealership probably wouldnt have done. Good luck!
