extending racing stripes - vinyl recommendations?

I want to extend the racing stripes down the front bumper and rear bumper of my JCW. Is there a site anyone can recommend to get vinyl that matches or is the dealer the best way?

Btw the stripes are JCW red stripes.

Any vinyl sign shop can get you the size you need. Just provide a color sample, and the dimensions of material you need. That is how I did mine.

How about MiniUSA for an exact match? Otherwise OutMotoring has a selection. Also try Mini Mania and Mighty Stripes.

Thanks for the help guys - I found a local vinyl shop that should be able to do it. Not sure if I should wait until spring though - if that will effect the quality or not.

Looks like you're in NY. Man, I would wait. You'll be playing the salt, slush, and flying rocks game for a while. Your front bumper is going to be eating **** all winter.

Mini uses A LOT of 3M vinyl for its graphics. Check out the red they offer. Probably very close if not spot on.

I used the 3M red on my hood (see sig pic)

Thanks guys I am going to wait out the winter to do this little project. Debating on getting an off centered license plate mount so the stripes would be more prominent.

Do you think vinyl would cover the screw holes well?
