How much for roof decal/vipers fitting?

[jamiebae]

In the Mini accessories catalogue they're £99 or £115, does that include fitting or is the fitting extra?

If it is extra how much does it generally cost to have fitted? I'm thinking about silver vipers or maybe a Union Jack

Fitting is extra and I think (not sure) but dealers charge about £75 an hour and 2 hours to fit possibly. It's best to give your dealer a call to check before any purchase though.

Ouch! That's not cheap is it!

Maybe I need to speak to some friendly local bodyshops

For my 2003(new), they charged $500 for the UJ roof. Looking at the website now, it's only $180 for any roof decal. I'm curious since I want to switch from checkerboard back to the Union Jack.

My local graphics firm only charged me £25 per hour to fit some bespoke roof and bonnet decals. They took 45mins!!!!! Very cheap

My vipers were £209 fitted, I think my UJ was about the same too

Try doing a search, found this one :

I got quoted £350 from my dealer for vipers fitted. Needless to say I told them to go whistle and I'm sure by asking around you will find a cheaper alternative. I've put the idea on hold for the moment.

I was just thinking I fancy doing something to the car and I like the Viper stripes in silver, but I don't like them enough to pay £200+ for them! I might try and get hold of the company that do our vans at work and see if they can do it, as we register about 600 new vans a year I think I might even get a good deal on the price

[Mini Princess]

I reckon you can get the decals dead cheap from anywhere that makes car graphics (there's even some on e-bay) I think it's the fitting that's the hard part - just imagine lining them up getting them exactly right all the way over and no air bubbles arrrrgh

Do not buy the junk that is sold on Ebay. The prices they are charging mean the vinyl will be crap.

anyone recommend someone to fit it London / SW London / Surrey AREA?


THANKS!

I heard nothing but BAD about MSytle, I know someone that has had a VERY bad experiance with them.

My bonnet stripes were £99 fitted at the dealers.......that wasnt half as bad as the £300 they quoted for the driving lamps. .....ha ha ....as if £300...madness in the 1st degree. Got em off ebay for £70 and did them myself. Where do they dream their prices up from? They must think of a number and then multiply it by their sisters weight !!

Its cheaper to **** up a DIY job the first time and do it again than pay their rates.
