United-Kingdom Hiya im new can any one help me?

hiya every-one, as the title said im new! i know very little about mini's only that they are gorgeous and i love mine to bits, every time i look at it i cant believe its mine!!!!! However when washing my baby, as i regularily seem to do, ive noticed on the left hand roof stripe a cut away mark, it looks like a chip but i think its supposed to be there I asked the dealer and he said that it was to show that the stripes are genuine... but being blonde and a girl im not sure whether he was having me on when really it was a chip, its been there since new, in may, so its definatley not some thing ive done.... if any one can tell me the truth it would be fab, n if the dealer was lying i can go n give him a piece of my mind!!

yes there is a tiny cut out mark to show that the viper stripes are genuine MINI accessory ones

A photo would help us to confirm this

Oh and welcome to MINI2
