In Brisbane where is the best place for these...

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!!!

If the world didn't suck we'd all fall off!

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

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

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!!

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