Paint and Stripes - who knows?

Does anyone know how much a touch up stick for a 52reg MCS dark silver would be? Cant get through to BMW.

Also, anyone know how much the stripes are to fit?I have been told they are £45 for bonnet or £99 for full body vipers - but I see so many types and styles on the road how comes that is all they offer?

finally a bloke at bmw parts told me to get a design/sign place to fit them instead - anyone had any luck doing that?

Hi, i got a pure silver touch up stick and it was less than a tenner. Use your own brush though or you will just end up with big blobs of paint!

What kinda stripes you after? If you just want bonnet stripes i'd say fit them yourself. i did a full union jack on my roof with no experience of that kind of thing and it turned ut really well. If you use mini pirate anything is possible really, if you have an idea he will make it!

we are in Leicestershire, East Mids.

Retro fit Bonnet stripes @ dealer is about £105.00

We fit standard Bonnet stripes for £40.00+VAT

ask anyone on here regarding our quality - but we have many customers/teams in the MINI Challenge so I guess thats not bad ??

hi Danny, we are just north of Melton Mowbray.

Fitting price again depends on what you are after as fitting Bonnet stripes is a quicker job than say a full Roof graphic.

Vipers depend on which vinyl you want and style - but we are cheaper than any dealer and use better materials.

PM me if you want to chat.

or email me phil@minipirate.com and I can give you a detailed quote.
