I'm just thinking of maybe giving my MINI a bit of a lift.... just wanted to know where would be the best place to get the following

Bonnet stripes
Mirror Caps

Would the best place be the dealers? Thanks in advance!!!

There are plenty of places that can do stripes etc. In the early days a lot of the guys were using a sign writer in the valley.

I'm sorry I can't remember their name though

That's cool... I'm just glad that someone finally replied!!

try a sign writting buisness. Take a photo on how it should look with the correct measurements and you should do better than buying from the stealers

What colour would you go with ?

You're going to have to stop dressing vinyl

Seriously I concur... a sign writer, spray bottle, squeege, and your Dad should be all you will need! Have fun

85NIXMIN · Oct 2nd, 2007, 01:34 PM

I might try that then.... haha thanks guys

What about the mirror caps... the only place would be the dealer yeh?

scolburn79 · Oct 2nd, 2007, 08:13 PM

If you know what you want it might be cheaper to get it painted on. I bought the UJ Mirror caps from the dealer and it cost me $300

If I had of known in advance I would have got it airbrushed onto my white ones I have!! If your really keen, I know you said you don't like e-bay, but america has them on their all the time, chrome, black, even red with the Superman symbol on it!! It depends on what ones you want. But if you want a design I think the dealer will sting you unless they have come down. I paid $80 for the UJ interior Mirro back cover which I didn't think was too bad from a dealer!!

85NIXMIN · Oct 3rd, 2007, 06:32 AM

$80 ain't too bad for the inside mirror..... that might even be a better option for me
