I just installed bonnet stripes on my Clubman S and I feel compelled to tell everyone how happy I am with the company I purchased them from.
I got them from Rocky Mountain Graphics https://www.rockymountaingraphics.co...sp?category=10
I paid 34.99 for the set and a couple of bucks to ship them. They're a high quality vinyl and perfectly cut to size. I used a wet application to apply them and it literally took less than 45 minutes to install.
When I purchased my Clubman, the dealer wanted 250.00 installed. I just thought it was a LITTLE high!!
I chose to order from Rocky Mountain Graphics, not knowing them, the quality and service. As said, the quality is VERY good and the shipping took like 3 days from start to finish.
So, if you need bonnet stripes and you don't want to break the bank, try them, i have to say, you will not be unhappy.
I will post some pictures of the completed job when I get a sunny day.

Just a heads up.
If you order the stripes with the pinstripe included, they're cut out of white vinyl with the colours printed on.
So, when you get the stripes out in the sun, your "black" stripes aren't black. They're a weird blueish colour. They don't even begin to match the black on parts of the car or the black of my factory bonnet stripes. Also, there are a lot of areas where the colour didn't reach the edge of the stripe so you have some little white edges along what would be the edge of my red pinstripe.
Since he added his pinstripes himself, I'm betting SlimJim's were actually cut from black vinyl. If you're going to order these stripes, this is the way you need to go.
Also, on mine, there were some areas where the edges were curled right out of the tube and absolutely would not lay down no matter what I did.
I now understand why some of the other places charge so much more for stripes.

I just wanted people to know about the printed stripes so they wouldn't be surprised like I was.
If they're going to order stripes from RMG, they should get the ones like you ordered that are actually cut out of coloured vinyl. That's all.

Yesterday I received my new silver stripes from RMG 
- about one week from order to receipt . I asked them to cut the stripes to a width of 5.5" (0.5" wider than normal) to give a little more surface area and better match IMHO the width of the Clubman rear door handles. Great deal at less than $40 including shipping! Hoping to get these on the car at the end of the week.
May add 1/8" black pins depending on how they look.

Or that is a Cooper S with a JCW S1 and the JCW badges are incorrectly placed on the car.
Badge placement...
Factory JCW, front...lower right hand facing side, rear lower right hand facing side
Stage 1 JCW, front...upper grill on the left facing side, rear lower left facing side
