Slightly random question: what wheels are those? They look brilliant and I am getting extremely fed up with my stock 16s.

Anyone have any idea how much these run? The more I see them, the more I like them! Might have to send a PM to Mike at AC and ask him...

I can do any color combo and can put any number in there. I also have over 15000 different fonts for you to pick from.

The Vinyl Styles site is well worth checking out. Good lord, I could have some fun with this stuff. I would seriously like to replace most, if not all of my chrome, starting with the trim arond the headlights, would love to do that in matching body color.

The 2007 season side stickers should be available through MINI/BMW spare parts.
Here in Germany you can order them with part.no. 51 14 0 408 203 and they will cost 50 Euros (which is roughly $75).
These include the black stripe with the white squares and the "MINI challenge" sticker, but not the black/white sticker where the starting number would be placed.

I picked up the sidestripes for 40 Euros and will be sticking them on my red/white R56 soon.

Supposedly the season 2008 Challenge MINIs are not different.

I wish someone would offer the complete set
* viper stripes
* side stripes
* number sticker

I for my part will be looking for such a set at the MINI Challenge race week-ends here in Germany... along with the Challenge car body kit, which is so sweet in my opinion! :-)

Definately check Aesthetic Creations....I know he has the viper stripes and the challenge stripes, and I'm sure he could make anything else you would need

Sorry if I was unclear - I do know where to get all the parts individually and have all but the number sticker already "as good as at home", but since they have to equip the official race MINI with the complete set of stickers, why not offer a set for the aftersale market? That was my point.

Why offer "only" the side stripes and not the number sticker?
The sport stripes are part of the regular after market parts offered by MINI through the dealers.
I even managed to get the sponsor stickers for underneath the side stripes... but they are not exactly how I want them.

PS: Something in the region of $75 US (at the dealers) would be a killer price compared to something like $120 US (at the afore mentioned shop) wouldn't you say? ;-) Someone ought to check it out at least... as I mentioned before in Germany any MINI/BMW dealer can order the challenge side stripes via their spare parts database.

Just FYI, my local dealer couldn't pull up that number on their parts computer, so it's probably not available here...
