Dressed up the MINI today with some racing stripes and Checkerboard A panel Vinyls ..also snagged a used Silver Hood Scoop from someone responding to my WTB Silver Hood Scoop Ad in this Forum ....I think it all ties in nicely with my Silver roof and Mirrors ...
Thanks !..I love it too ...And Yes the Checker decals are from Rocky Mountain Graphics ...only 40 dollars for both sides alot better price than 150.00.. if i really wanted to get the "Checkmate" OEM A-Panels from ECS Tuning...The stripes on the hood were left over Vinyl i had from another project i did on my other car so that was FREE! ..lol ..If i was to order the actual Checkmate Hood Vinyl that would have been 180 dollars!...As for lining up ....the cutouts on the Vinyl could have lined up a little bit better around the chrome turn signal vents but it worked out in the end ..just took my time and make sure you have a SHARP razor blade .....im very pleased with the outcome .

Sorry to keep bugging you, but did you need to take the turn signal assembly off?
Oh ! LOL ...i guess i could have taken them off to make it easier to cut`around them ......I just cut the excess off very carefully with a sharp Razor Blade ...

Either way, it looks great, so the method isn't important.

Welcome. Its ok. Its personalized, I checked my dash by myself for a unqiue look way before MINI had it on the Gen 2.
The JCW checkered mats for the R50 R52 R53 fronts went NLA at the beginning of the year. The rears on the R50 r53 R52 went NLA also. Pretty cool mats. The leather wrapped JCW red stitched down tubes I have are NLA also.
