Peppermill - your car looks great, love the wheels.

 

soda66,

i gotta say your checkered roof & mirrors look mighty tasty.

k

btw- is that grill the new black factory slat unit or did you have it wrapped/painted?

 

To Peppermill - I used electricians tape on the grill. An "old school" trick. I got a roll of the wide electricians tape and did the grill.

 

My 2009 MCS with new stripes...

 

We just installed some teal viper stripes on the 05.





This is the only one I have of the rear, it was for a "boot" themed photo contest

 

My MCS is chili Red w/ white top and mirror caps. I want to do something different than the ordinary white stripes and am thinking of the yellow mirror caps and yellow racing/viper strippers or maybe just one offset. Can anyone post a picture of their car if you have this combo? Thanks.

 

special edtion baker street stripes...

 

Just got an 09 JUSTA and did the stripes myself.

Nice work ! Considering it takes me about 90 minutes to install OEM bonnet stripes, that job must have taken a few hours. Any difficulty going down the bumper?

 

Hi everyone!

Today I'm putting red viper stripes on my Mini(it's black). And I was wondering if I should put the stripes on my sunroof or just skip that whole part of my roof! Any suggestions and pictures would be appreciated! Thanks!

 

Funny you should ask that. I have a dark gray MCS with black roof with dual sunroof and black stripes up the bonnet and down the boot. I have been back and forth on doing dark gray stripes over the roof and sunroof.

 

IMO, if you're going to stripe the roof, do the entire length, including the sunroof.

 

Yes. I agree. If I choose to stripe the roof I would do the entire roof including the sunroof.

 

For me, it was pretty much an all day job (seriously). The time would've been less than half that if the stripes were custom cut beforehand (ie: MADE for a Mini) but I did a lot of trimming, both before and after application. Not an easy job.

This is my car! 3 hours later and it looks amazing! I put it over the sunroof and love it.

 

Your car appears to be all white, parked outside in a blizzard !
(seriously, there is no picture)

 

Really? It's showing up for me! Even on my phone. Hmm.. Odd.

 

Shows up for me too. And verrrrry nice !!

 

OK, weird. Shows up for me now too. Was worth waiting for.
2 thumbs up !!!

Now that I see it, I must ask. Did you remove your badges and then simply stick them back on with the existing tape or add new 3M foam (or similar) tape?

I wasn't sure how to remove the badges without damaging the car.

 

Great look Caitlin! Classy and tough at the same time!

 

ve9aa, usually the vinyl would just be trimmed around the emblem without taking it off. However, to remove emblems, use a heat gun and fishing line. Then use your preference of adhesive remover to get rid of the remaining adhesive. (Make sure you know that there are no body holes behind the emblem before you remove them though. I'm not sure if mini uses holes for those emblems).

 

There are holes behind the wing emblems on the bonnet and boot, but not the 'Cooper' (S)
