You're probably confused, and rightfully so, because there's another, larger thread on the board about showing your stripes. I believe it's called "Show Us Your Stripes" but I don't have time to search for it right now because it's MINI WASHING TIME !!

When I'm done, I'll post a pic in this thread too just to show I'm not thread-biased.

 

PB&J, this is a 2nd Gen thread...

 

Changed out the grill on your S with a std Cooper grill?

Oh.

Well then... carry on.



See, this is what happens when you don't go to forums but just click on "New Posts" every time you visit.

 

Yep, well pleased with the look too.

 

Thanks, that looks good. So I guess you answered by next question: the Mini logo is attached with an adhesive only and no prongs into the hood like some emblems.

 

Just had my stripes finished today, now they go all the way down the car.

 

^ that is one sick MINI!!! I'm feeling a bit of MINI envy...

 

thanks! I can't wait to see what it looks like after I black out the rest of the chrome!

 

Nice job. Your cr/b mini is gorgeous. I really want to see it after you black it out.

 

Mine are in my signature

 

Thanks! Hopefully it won't be too long before we are chrome-less!

where did you get these stripes from?

 

The stripes are sold by MINI....they call them sport stripes. I bought the stripes from our local dealer and they had a decal place come out and put them on.

Those look Great!

 

Thanks! I ordered them from AC after seeing your stripes here on NAM!

It really gives the car a lot more character. For the few days we had it w/o stripes, we kept saying: "Needs stripes. Needs stripes. Needs stripes. ..."

I'm planning on taking some better bright daylight pics, soon - these were shot in late afternoon/twilight and they just don't "pop".

so the sport stripes they sell cover the entire car from bumper to bumper? i thought they only went from the hood to the boot.

 

Greylight, awesome job on the stripes i really love them, best ive seen yet. i was thinking about doing the same thing to mine. was it hard to do the hood scoop?

also whats the address for the site your ordered them from

thanks

 

I got the stripes from Aesthetic Creations. They're in the Vendor Directory section of NAM. The Double Viper Stripes are in the RACE section of the roof stripes.

I had a local tint & graphics dealer do the install. It's common to just leave the stripes off the scoop, but w/o any prompting on my part, this guy decided to cover the scoop, and was pretty proud of his work. He cut the stripe at the front edge of the top of the scoop, and stretched it a little to cover the upper edge and inside the lower area of the scoop. He really did a fantastic job. I would've botched it for sure.

The sport stripes do only cover the hood and boot. I had to have them order 2 sets of the black stripes for them to go all the way down the car. They sell a set for the body and one for the roof as well. If you want them to go all the way down the car, be sure to have them order 2 sets of black, otherwise you'll end up waiting another 2 weeks to have the stripes finished like I did!

 

where did you buy your stripes from? im thinking that they wont have laser blue roof stripes but im fine with just having the white stripes that go all the way down...

Should i just order the sport stripes for the bonnet and boot then the roof stripes in white to finish the stripes on the bumpers?

 

If you want laser blue on the roof, you will probably have to go to a vinyl install place and have them make a set that matches the color of your car. That's what we did with my dad's mellow yellow MINI. If you only get 1 set of sport stripes, they will only go to the bottom of the hood scoop and part way down the back. Here are some pics of mine before ordering the 2nd set that completed the stripes.

That's with only 1 set of sport stripes. Two sets and it will look like this:


I hope that answers your question!

 

which additional set did you buy to finish off the rest of the front and rear bumper? im not going to get stripes on the roof, at least not yet.
