I am thinking of adding a pepper white hood scoop and having the stripes go all the way down.

 

I bought mine from some "stripingyourmini" on eBay. $27 shipped, installed them myself.

 

 

Astro Black with silver stripes piped by white. 20 bucks and put on myself.

 

Here's Bandit with his new stripes.....

 

vinyl styles did mine, more in my gallery

 

I like those, whats the size 5", 6" wide? And yes you should go down the bumper with em

 

PM'd you, i want those stripes! help a brotha out

 

PM'd back!

 

thanks again for the tip! i have placed my order

 

Anytime! Glad I could help!

 

hey, few more questions... were these easy to install? did an application solution or squeegee come with it? how do you know how far apart it fits on the mini? i should have my piece in a day or two!

 

I thought it was easy...Not sure on the measurements...I can measure mine and get back to you. I did it the dry way. Taped down the stripes where I wanted, pealed back half of the backing, and squeegeed down that half, then pulled the backing off the other side, and squeegeed down that side...on the white piping, I too the backing off first...then started the end and did one lay down, and squeegeed. There were a few little bubbles that I punchered with a needle and squeegeed. It didn't take them out fully until the car sat in the sun.

ok so it does come pre-stuck with some glue on it. did you have to cut it or were they 2 fit pieces?

 

 

They were cut...and I though they were too short, but once I laid them out...it was tight. But vinyl stretches so I made sure there was some over the edge of the belt line when I started, and while applying, I ended up with about and inch extra that I cut off and tucked in.

 

okay this is good info to know before i get started. i'll try to post some pics once i'm done and we get some sun in cincinnati, ohio
