Cat scratched the white bonnet stripes on my 03 CR/W MC and I'm going to replace them. I'm wondering if I'd prefer black stripes this time. Also, any recommendations on where to get the stripes. Got the white ones from Cooper Flags and they were fine, but I think i might can get them cheaper somewhere else.

Thanks.

 

cooperflags.com is great and so is mightystripe.com. I've purchased items from both places, great product and service!


How about a pic of a CRB with black stripes? Closest I can get... maybe Photoshop the pix with a white roof! :smile:

 

Thanks, the black stipes look great on your car with the black roof. After the cat damage I though I might try something a little different with the black stripes and white roof. The white pinstripes on the edge of the black stripes should help tie them in with the white roof.

I can't hurt the cat but his getting on my cars is a bummer. Tried talking to him but he doesn't listen. My wife says he's just like me in that regard.

 

It's time to get a car cover... or a cat de-clawing!

Actually, I wouldn't recommend the latter, as cats need their claws to defend themselves in public!

I feel your pain... it's a b@#ch keeping dog hairs out of my MINI.

Actually, my stripe pin stripes are silver to match my wheels. But, you can get white ones as well.

 

I think that if you run the black stripes over the roof along with the bonnet

that it would be a good tie in with the white.
Cheers

 

I have a car cover, cat loves it...I bought a spray can of stuff that is supposed to keep cats and/or dogs off things.....cat must love it to cause he was laying on top of the cover on top of the stuff this morning!!

The idea of running the black stripes over the top would be good if I didn't have a sunroof.

Thanks..

 

Well the fact that you have a sunroof, I think , makes the tie in of black bonnet stripes right

 

Just noticed your Fairbanks, Alaska address. My daughter is in Bethel, Alaska working at a "huffing" clinic for drug addicted kids. I haven't been there but she tells me the mosquitos are winning this year. She's got a year left on her contract.

 

I have checkerboard stripes and they match well with the white roof.

 

Here ya go...

 

Thanks,....maybe I'd better stay with white?

 

OK, try this to discourage the cat. It won't hurt it but hopefully it will stop jumping on the car.

Lay a HEAVY blanket across the bonnet to protect the paint. Now put the cover on. Set a variety of mousetraps and put them all over the bonnet on top of the cover, and then cover the mousetraps with newspapers.

Cat jumps on the MINI, mousetrap snaps closed under the paper - makes noise but doesn't catch any paws. A few times with that happening is usually sufficient to stop the cat from getting on the car.

Repeat on the roof if needed...
