Had my MINI for a month now and loving it, when I picked it up from the dealers they had forgot to put the sport stripe decal on the back. They came and picked it up a week later to finish the job.
Not sure if I like it or if it has been done properly.
It cost £200 for the roof and decals including labour.
Would like your advice.

Loving the roof!!!

The rear stripe is odd though?! To me it should either finish at the end of the boot lid or go down to the black plastic and be cut around the fog light

I agree - the stripes look like they should go down around the fog light

MINI looks very nice

[paulteix]

yes, very nice indeed, buit i agree with gristie - they should go down around the fog light

greets, paulo

It would look better if the stripes did go around the foglight. That little gap doesn't seem right.

[Randall Raines]

Everybody agrees I think, the stripes should stop at the bumper or If fitted to the bumper finished of around anything in its path (and not just cut straight), in your case the fog-light .

Stripes like that don't do it for me, that's my own personal taste though , Very Nice! car and it looks good .

Get them sorted out because when everybody starts to look and admire your MINI and muttering to each other (and you can't quite hear them) rather than feeling proud, knowing that they will saying "that's a nice MINI", "I like"...this that or the other etc... etc... it will be on the back of your mind thinking, were they actually commenting on the stripes looking odd, not being finished of properly. Taking that comment in mind these MINI owners are a very picky bunch and sharpe eyed , and will pick up on anything (spot anything), most people wont notice it .

It would bug me, I wouldn't be able to sleep Zzz ().

OK, I'm a bit picky, even for a MINI owner, but those stripes scream "No" at me. I'd take it straight back and tell them not to be lazy!
Car does look great tho'

[Woody'sCooper]

Does seem like they got the end and though "that'll do"

Definately get that rectified - looks great otherwise though!!

[Streeters]

What you have there is definetly not right, either take it back and get them to redo the bottom bit cutting round the fogs or just remove the bumper sections so it ends at the tailgate. Either way i'd go back to the dealer and hassle them over it - they did it let them sort it

Proper! job .

[iain cooper]

yes I agree with the other posts that the back has not been done properly.

you would think a dealer would know how it should be done ? than again maybe not !!

[carboncrazy]

I would have not put any type of decal on a MINI GP. It should left as is. The GP is perfect as standard. Not liking them at-all.

Gives a neater finish to the job IMO.

[andrewcregan]

[Phil Craddock]

Hi Andrew - hope its running well

That is one lazy job - I bet you could have done better yourself.
Shouldn't the stripes at the front carry on down the bumper too?

[andrewcregan]

Hi Phil, runnning great thanks. Will reunite you with your masterpiece at Top Gear 2008 - see you there

[mini_newbie]

Thanks everyone been on to the dealer are coming to collect the car and do the job they should of done in the first place in a couple as weeks as they are too busy with the 08 plates to do it sooner . Yes the stripes should go all the way down on the front as well it seems that the reason they didn't do this is because they used that bit of the strip to do the rubbish bit at the back!! cutting corners i guess. I mean i wanted it to look perfect when i picked it up the first time thats why i payed them to do it. maybe third time lucky!!! keep ya posted.
