http://www.mini-graphics.co.uk/

I'm looking at some of their stripes right now for my sides but I haven't heard of anyone using them before. They seem like they have a good thing going but still am unsure. Please post if you've dealt with them.

I bought my stripes from them a couple of month ago, I got them in 10 days.

The woman in viper stripe.



They seem to have a large selection of pretty unique stripe options. Some of the coolest graphic work I've seen available for sale.

I would have already ordered that, if I did not have a sunroof. I think it'd mess it up.

And thier prices are quite inexpensive, Even converting from Pounds to USD. The Woman in Viper would cost about 88 USD for the full graphic, hood, roof, and boot. Thats damn cheap. Shipping will eat us up, though.

I have purchased through them, but have not received them yet. Graham (the guy I've been working with for a few weeks now), has been very helpful. I think I should receive mine within a week now. Unfortunately, for Locomini, it appears I bought the SAME exact style (So sorry Loco!! I actually thought I was being original--good taste though!!!), however with two different colors. When I get/install mine, I'll tell you about the entire experience. I'd love to know how you love yours Locomini!! Now we're gonna be sort of bizarro twins! Don't worry I have a Laser Blue and I'm ordering this in colors that scream clown car!

They have some really good stuff. I have not seen their site before. Now I am tempted. I love the side stripes but I also love my current Union Jack A-Panels. AHH

So they really dont work with people with sun roofs? Or is it just not an option on the site?

Well, it isn't that they won't work with sunroofs, it's just that the aren't designed to. So it might or it might not. In thier FAQ it just says that you'll have to cut it yo fit. I might still get those, it'll just be a while, gotta rebuild my PC first.

Very cool designs. I imagine one could apply the graphic on the sun roof and cut around the edges.

Do not buy from them!!!

Am very disappointed with the defective product they supply. I had find profession body-shop to do the work. However it got wrinkle all over the stripes after it finish, the effect is so bad.

The stripes were sent late and tried to communicate and could not get any reply and finally arrived in about three weeks. Do not buy from them!!!

I have seen OEM bonnet stripes do that too due to non-professional install...usually from excessive heat being applied during install "wet method" process and not due to manufacturers defect....

Sent them an email asking this question,... Since I really don't trust myself to install it, even on glass which I suspect is easier, I might just find a local shop to do it all anyway.

Looks like maybe the masking had been on there a long time. Hard to tell from the pic how much is any of all that will clean up. The red paint has kinda the same design on it.. Which I know will clean off. This is why I do bonnet stripes without masking them. Get it wet slide it in place squeeze it with a covered squeeze, trim to fit and walk away..
