Boot Stripes

Does anyone know if boot stripes are available for an MCS? I checked on the Mini configurator page and it wasn't an option, at least I couldn't find it. I have the standard wide stripes down the bonnet and thought something to match on the boot would look cool. I have seen the tighter stripes one on the JCW boots but those wouldn't look right with my wider front ones. If you have them on your Mini a picture would be great along with info on how to get it.

Go for the Sport stripes they look better than the stock bonnet stripes.

Not if you are going for the traditional look. Can't say either is better, its all opinion.

Any idea how hard these are to install? Do you just stick them on?

They are easy but I do suggest if you've never installed stripes, pay someone to do it. It's not that difficult but if you fudge up, it can get costly.

Thanks "orangecrush" I think I'll take your recommendation about getting a pro to put them on.

Actually on the JCW body the bonnet looks better on the front. It makes the front bigger-wider
