Lili please check out our site www.minipirate.com for ideas and we can custom design anything you want (withi reason).

We haven't used the magnetic stuff though as I don't really trust it flying off at break neck speed and hitting someone!!

Cheers,
Phil.

I know Rakey had the magnetic bonnet stripes and so did i at one time.

They now take pride of place stuck to the fridge/freezer

There was a great pic of Rakey's car with just one stripe haha the other flew off on the motorway i beleive

They are cool and pretty funky to chop n change - just be careful when they start to wear loose.

I think magnetic stickers or numbers should be cool and should stay as long as the surface is flat

The MCS bonnet is a bit of a pain for stripes due to the curves

Get sum pics up if u do

I've had magnetic bonnet stripes on my MINI for about four months now, without any problems. They have never flown off, and I've tested them up to 100 MPH.

I think they key to preventing them from flying off is to cut them correctly, so there is no overhang. Anyway, I bought mine from MiniMania.
