Bonnet Stripes in DC Metro

Does anyone recommend a certain dealer or indy in the area to buy and install the two basic black hood/bonnet stripes? I didn't get them back when I got the car, and I think I want them. Just the two on the hood.

Thanks!

You don't need a dealer to do that. They are easily installed in an hour or two with care and patience. The below link has a selection of stripes and installation instructions. I've replaced mine twice and added boot stripes with no problem.

I don't have care, patience, or time and would rather pay somebody to put stripes on my car.

Easiest, but not cheapest would be to order them through your (or any) dealer and have them install them.

In your situation, I agree with vetsvette. A MINI dealer will know how to do it best on a MINI! No worries!

I used a vinyl installation company to do my roof. Should have used MINI dealer. The company I used had to redo it several times and in the end I gave up and settled for a cheaper imperfect product.
