They are listed as £49.99 each including VAT, say £100. But my dealer wanted to charge £250 to supply and fit!! (Reduced to £200 when I said it was too much).

Question is: you can buy them on the Internet for much less (under £30). Described as genuine MINI decals. Has anyone tried to fit them themselves? Is it easy (I would not want to ruin the paint!!) Are there any specialists who can fit the decals for me at a reasonable price?

We bought copies for a Cooper and they had to be removed after 6 months looked terrible all dull and bubbly. I would swallow the pill and stick with the real deal.

Can you post pictures of your car please as I have ordered same spec black vipers on bonnet & boot lids and silver across the black roof but I don't take delivery until late April

Thanks in advance
