Both kits came from eBay, but the seller was MightyStripes: http://www.mightystripes.com/Stripes.htm

The kit has enough to do the rear and roof also:

Coffee-colored stripes with a cream pinstripe! Sorry I don't know how to post pictures but just google "mayfair mini cooper"

This is an awesome thread by the way, keep 'em coming!

Does a PW with CR roof and mirrors count?

I love youR JCW in PW/CR. If MINI would have offered Red Lounge Leather seating with a black trim, I would have definitely gone that route. Everything is so right with your car. I can't wait til I actually see yours or one like it in the metal some day.

I have the black lounge leather with red trim. It works perfectly with the car. If they would have had red with black I would have been all over it. I actually changed the tan interior in my '96 Miata for a red interior from a '93 LE because I have a major weakness for white cars with red interiors. I guess it goes back to my lust for Corvettes when I was a kid, and the classic '53 'Vette look.
