OK, so I am a little bummed. I washed the car this morning and figured I had nothing to worry about with the roof graphic, as I installed it the same way as my vinyl hood stripes, well, the clear coating over the graphic itself seperated and tore the under part into a million pieces. Barely hit the graphic with the pressure sprayer and it was like an explosion. So, I got home, and had to pull it off, there was no way of saving the precious Yin Yang. Gonna talk to Matt at Cooper Flags, but I doubt there is anything they can do for me. This is not what I expected, little disapointed, but live and learn. Never once had a problem with the hood stripes, not sure why this thing flew into pieces...it was on there for about a week, should have been well set by now.

Along with the Yin, comes the Yang, sadness, but then happiness that I still have a fun Mini to drive.

 

hey 03indigo,
was it hard to put the bonnet stripes on yourself? are there instructions I can get to put them on? By this I mean where to put the stripes. The location? Distance between the two stripes ...etc...thanks


tony

p.s. gj with the graphics sorry to hear about the .......yin and yang.........

 

Tony, I believe there are some instructions somewhere out there, but I just did them myself, know about vinyl graphics and application, learned years ago...so I had no problems with the install. There are some recommendations for placement, but I just "eyed' it for myself, then measured before I really set them in, then when I was happy, fully applied them. With the solution I use, homemade, it allows you plenty of time to move them around with ample play before you finally set them on.

If you need help, I would be happy to lend a hand, just drop me a line

cheers
