Hello,

If you have had full length viper stripes fitted by your dealer, how much did it cost you, all in?

Thanks.

AidenL · Jul 1st, 2003, 04:33 PM

I'd PM Willie M Paul, I know he has them on his Cooper, pics in his gallery, all IB car too as it so happens........

Paul · Jul 1st, 2003, 04:40 PM

Will do, wanted to see how/if it ranged from dealer to dealer though.

Minty · Jul 1st, 2003, 05:24 PM

hi paul, will let you know how much we charge when i get back to work next week

Doc_Croc · Jul 1st, 2003, 09:50 PM

I had custom made "ghostly" viper stripes fitted (ie, not the standard MINI vipers). The dealer arranged fitting at a local decal shop and provided sample material beforehand so that I could choose colour, etc. Stripes were fitted before the car was delivered to me and are on the original order/invoice at £100. (See Pics)

Minty, your going to be a busy lad next week!!

My dealer is charging me £250 for vipers! Can't give me a colour sample either (I want to see how metallic the silver actually is).

LMB · Jul 1st, 2003, 10:14 PM

My dealership are charging me £185 inc vat fitted. They don't seem aware of Mini Viper Stripes for the S so are getting a company to make/fit them.

what are ghostly viper stripes?

You all need to go to a vehicle graphics shop. £100 tops fitted and exactly how you want them!

Cheapest I can find from a graphics place is about £130.

PortRhombus · Jul 2nd, 2003, 11:26 AM

Are the graphics easy to fit yourself?
Im aiming this question at peeps that have fitted there own bonnet stripes or roof graphics.

It will only cost me £35 if I buy the material off the graphics geezer and fit it myself! £35 for viper stripes dont seem bad to me.

From what I've heard (and a failed attempt I made), it's a bit of a black art to fit them really well. It's one of things, easy to do, hard to master. I'd rather get a pro to do it and be happy (or be entitled to get them to do it again for free) than risk doing it myself and not being delighted.

Not really, Milton Keynes. Why, how much there?

PortRhombus · Jul 3rd, 2003, 01:21 AM

Not sure where oldbury is but il check autoroute! Are they cheap or just good service.
Im not the richest person and got road tax and insurance to pay soon!

Shorty · Jul 3rd, 2003, 06:10 PM

Had mine done by Robert Stern in Evesham , cost £185. Check out my gallery

stuartkey · Jul 3rd, 2003, 07:34 PM

Shorty, are you local to Evesham then? I wouldn't mind seeing the silver vipers stripes in the 'flesh'.

I assume they are the standard 'official' silver ones? Cotswold in Cheltenham are quoting me £250...

Was certainly good service. They charged me the standard MINI price for some custom made viper stripes. I simply took a photo showing the sort of thing I wanted. They sourced the material, provided samples - in a range of colours - for me to look at, and then got the stripes cut and fitted locally to the dealer.
