: Sydney: Bonnet stripes on Cooper S

Hey, everyone - I'm Baaaaaack! :)

I used to be in London with a OneD but have moved to Australia and due to the sunshine (it's raining all the time) and fuel prices being a bit cheaper, I've just picked up a CooperS Convertible which I'm loving but its lacking bonnet stripes. I went to BMW and they've quoted $450 for it.

I fitted a decal on the roof of my oneD in London and it worked out pretty well (did the whole union jack) so I'm not afraid of getting involved and doing it myself but question is:

Does anyone on here from Aus know of someone in Sydney that could do it?
OR does anyone know of somewhere I can buy the stripes pre-cut for for the original cooper S bonnet?

Hey Im from aus too, i just fitting bonnet and boot stripes to my 2004 mini cooper.

I did it myself because if you go to bmw it is ridiculously pricy! and honestly it wasn't hard. I bought an installation kit off ebay from an american seller (automotive authority LLC) unlike other stripes of ebay it comes with DIY kit (wet application solution, squeegee, knife, instructions) this cost me $55 including postage

Yeah, you're right. After much scouting around (and of course ruling out BMW as $450 for two vinyl stripes DOES seem a bit excessive) I bought a kit off eBay. Will stick a pic on here once I get them on the car.

Delivered from the UK, there doesn't seem to be much of a market out here...
