My black CMS is due to arrive up in Boston in a few weeks and I've been thinking hard about what kind of stripes I want for a while now. I have some specific ideas in mind and am looking for recommendations for someone in New England (Preferably Boston or Worcester areas) for custom stripes, design and installation.

Anyone "got a guy"?

 

Julzie -

I'm in western MA but I designed our stripes with the help of a terrific graphic designer and graphics production house in the UK. They created our stripes perfectly and shipped them here. Cost was about $100 for the viper stripes and the side stripes.



Contact Graham at MINIGraphics. These folks are experts at MINI graphics and wraps, and Graham is wonderful to work with.

I'm sure there are other folks in the States who go good graphics work; I was just so impressed with MINI Graphics, I didn't bother checking elsewhere.

For installation in your area, I would contact Gary King and MINI of Peabody. Gary is another "best of the best" SM and has a terrific reputation among the MINI community over the last 8-9 years. He will know who to contact. You can also contact Julian at Sublime Restorations in Rowley. He is another person favored by the MINI community here in New England.

And don't forget MINIs On Top on June 23 this year! Several hundred MINIs will attend the weekend shindig. The highlight of the event is the closing of the Mt. Washington Auto Road to allow only MINIs to travel to the summit and view the sunset on Saturday night! Click my siggie for more info and to register. Check out the "2012 Feeder Events" tab to join our huge MINI caravan (70+ MINIs) leaving from MINI of Bedford (NH) Friday afternoon.

 

I ordered my stripes from http://www.minigraphics.co.uk/ They have a great selection, many of them unlike stripes I've seen on cars here.
