Finnally got a pic of the bonnet stripes that I put on last Saturday. Really love the look though there is no doubt which one I put on first. I really learned a couple of good lessons. For those of you considering doing something like this I have some recommendations in addition to all the other great posts .

Be patient. I measured and remeasured several times and still ended up with slightly different stripes.

Use lots of soapy water. The first one took me about an hour to get in the proper position. The second one took about 5 minutes.

MINIs have compound curves on the bonnet. Decal backing paper doesn't. Slit the backing paper down between the designs to make it easier to work with.

Make sure cold beer is readily available.

wow those look great,nice job!

Did you have them custom made or is someone selling them?

Bought them on EBay. Kim at The Graphics Co made them. They did need a little Mod when I put them on but overall I thought they were a good fit.
