Funny thing... Last night I dreamt someone removed my stripes from my Mini! In the dream they did a great job but I didn't know how they did it or why. BTW, my stripes were still on this morning...

Not sure if the dealer installed stripes are a comparable material but... I had to remove my RMG boot stripes because I muffed them up the first time around. Just pick an edge, use your fingernail to lift up then slowly pull them off. For some reason I'd also heard to use a hair dryer to soften up the vinyl - use a very low setting obviously so as not to damage the paint.

Use the above advice at your own risk.
