Black V Bonnet Stripes

[kramer1974]

I am not really sure what to call them but Mini has these Silver fat bonnet stripes that come to a V in the middle of the bonnet. I really like the look but i have a silver mini and they do not make them in black. Does anyone know of an aftermarket company that makes them? I have looked everywhere and cannot find them.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Sounds like the ones on the Checkmate?



Any good sign making/ car graphic company should be able to do it in any colour you want- would probably help if you brought along a photo of what you were after

Yes, those are the ones i am talking about. You wouldnt be worried that it would not come out exactly the same? They would be doing it just by looking at the picture, without any measurements.

Thanks for the advice.

K, here's how clever these guys are. I mocked up a sunroof graphic on a pic of my S, taken from an angle from above. I emailed that pic to the girl and she was able to use that exact pic, without me having to straighten it up or anything- very clever!

If you were worried about that though, you could maybe speak to your dealer and find out who does their graphics- chances are in that case, whoever they use would have measurements of the bonnet and stuff already. You'd have the peace of mind too that they'd worked with MINIs and that the dealer is happy to use them...

That is a good idea. I am not sure if they outsourse who does their graphics but i will ask them.

Worth a try That's how I found the company to do my sunroof graphic- happened to be at the dealers and mentioned it to him, he was more than happy to pass on the graphic company's number. Good luck, and let us know how you get on

Thanks i will try that.

Graphic/vinyl sign writter did my bonnet stripes and union jack.... he actually had a programme with a mini on it-so he showed me what it would look like in pink.....



Good luck.....

Thanks. I hope the dealer where I bought the car knows some places. Thanks for the encouragement.

Hey there,

I think I saw those on MiniFlags.com. I have a PW/B cooper S and thinking about getting those when I replace the factory black strips.

I believe it's cooperflags.com, they'll give you a list of companies who install them around your way too.

Thanks guys. Although it is not exact to what mini makes its pretty darn close.
