Actually there are prongs. but once you go around it with the fishing wire.. it will pop right out when you pull on it.. The prongs aren't really clipped in , just need a good tug to get the emblem off.

 

Stripes purchased from www.mightystripes.com then heavily altered by us-truely.

 

Here is my offset stripe

Can anyone recommend a place in the SF Bay Area to have stripes applied?
Please email me on atmiller65@yahoo.com
Thanks!

 

Here are some pics of the new stripes we had made for my dad's MY/B MCS. He has always loved the porsche carrera, so we had Cooper S stripes made in the carrera font. I think I'm going to get them on my CR/B MCS as well

 

I had a local shop make a replica of the factory bonnet stripes for the side. I loved the look of the black wheels but thought that the look was too dark on my blue car. I think the stripes help.

 

the stripes look great on the dark silver. maybe it's time to black out that chrome?

 

I still haven't done a proper "photo shoot" of the car, but here are a couple of shots of a dirty car and a car getting a CAI and open hood scoop grille installed

 

Bad cell pics but it's all I have for now, also probably never going to get any cleaner than this:

 

Just a heads up on stripes - we bought some "unique" stripes we wanted from Mighty Stripes. I had difficulty with their website and had to pay a supplemental fee to correct the order. It still came screwed up, so I had to take off work and pay to send it back. Then they ran out of material and had to delay a month. Then they sent us the wrong stripes again. We thought about having the ones sent put on and asked our detailer what he thought. The stripes were silver (to match all the aftermarket chrome we put on the car), and the detailer said not to use them because they would scratch real bad and even if we could get them off (despite what the website claims) the paint underneath would be demaged.

The intent is not to bash Mighty Stripes. The point here is that before embarking on a quest for "unique" be sure (1) you know exactly what you want and (2) read comments from folks like me about any vendor so you know what type of experience you should expect.

 

Just some cliché sport stripe pics.

 

The more I lok, the more I wanna stripe up mine! Damn you guys!

 

How does your detailer figure that adding vinyl to the car will damage the paint underneath it? I'd find a new detailer.

On a side note, were your stripes "chrome" or are they silver? It makes a difference as far as how they'll wear long-term.

 

I think a nice lavender with hot pink would look dashing.

 

Finally finagled mine on by myself:

 

On a side note...you dog is too cute!!!! It cracks me up with that tongue!!

 

moms MINI in IL.

Nice! I really like the wheels with that color. I have the same wheels on my 05.

 

Gotta compliment you on your choice of stripes and vendors.
