Vinyl Dealers?

Hey there fellow MINI-ACKS!

I have been thinking of getting some racing stripes for my Countryman. Soooo I was wondering if anyone had any places they'd tried or recommend for ordering some stripes. Also, I am having trouble choosing a colour. Any suggestions? My Countryman is the Royal Metallic Grey with a black top. Have attached some photos to show. I was thinking maybe a simple white..?

Our Royal came with black stripes, what a waste. If I was going to change I would do silver possibly, some reds look pretty good on that color. I have unconventional tastes however.

Don't have any online recommendations.

I ordered a white countryman S kit from "stripemymini.com" for $36. They don't match the exact size or spacing of the factory stripes so I'm not going to recommend them. They might work for you, but you can't pull the factory ones and replace them with the kit I got.

take it to a vinyl guy. cobra stripes look great on these cars.

blue main stripes, white edge/pin stripe would look good. a front lip would give it a bit of attitude as well.

Hey guys!

Finally found a good site! Ended up going with House of Grafx. They had a good selection of colours and everything came nicely laid out. Definitely would recommend doing the wet application method for installing the vinyl, used that on mine and all the little bubbles that couldn't be squeezed out with the squeegee were gone in 4 hours. Here's some photos of how they look! Thanks to Minnie the Moocher for the suggestion!

Just got some stripes bonner/boot for my dark silver R53 from Stripemymini-quality stuff. I may have a pro do it so I do not mess it up though.
