Decal Websites?

Hey I'm looking fo a good decal website that let's you preview the decals on a mini before you buy them or even better. I'll describe the stripes I'm looking for and see if y'all seen them out there on the web. I'm looking for racing stripes that are matte black from the bonnet to boot with red pinstripes outlining the outside and inside of the stripes. Thanks in advance

Oh and I found this on the forum: these are the stripes I wanted but instead of glossy black I want matte black (the clubman about 3 quarters of the way down on the page)

https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...-thread-9.html

And I would like to get them the same matte black as the black JCW on this page

https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...-thread-7.html

Anyone got any ideas?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Lyle will do anything feasible with Vinyl. Including stripes.

http://www.motoringdesigns.com can do that for you, might want to compare their prices. They of course don't have a way to preview them on your car online, but they can send you samples of the vinyl. It is run by two guys from THMMC (that club you signed up for yesterday) so you know they will treat you well. (Twister- Mark & N2MINI- Bryan) They did an excellent job with our stripes!

And if you go down to Winston Salem for Mark to install them, there are some really nice twisties around there! Just getting there would be fun.

I just wanted to add... no matter where you get your stripes, it might be a good idea to request samples first. When I was planning out what to do with mine, I was iffy about the roof stripes. Bryan sent me several swatches of blue for me to pick which ones looked best. It really helps you make decisions when you see what things are going to look like next to your paint.

From Mark & Bryan, as I said above. I was referred to them when I asked around on our local club forums about who I should go to... I just PM'd Bryan (N2MINI) on THMMC's forum to discuss what I wanted, he is the one that cuts the vinyl. They have done lots of graphics for people in our club, so I have seen many examples of their work. They do good stuff.

First I looked at a ton of photos on NAM and google, made a decision, then told him what style I wanted (double stripe with pins) and that I wanted gloss black with contrasting blue on the roof. He sent samples of the blue, and I responded which which worked best and what measurements I wanted. As soon as I made my final decision he cut my stripes, and the price was very reasonable.
