Creased Bonnet Stripes - Can anything be done?

Hi guys. I recently bought some bonnet stripes off eBay, unfortunately when they arrived the guy didn't quite package them right (i.e. he folded them as opposed to putting them in a tube or something), and they are creased beyond being able to fit onto the car. Is there any kind of iron that can get the creases out? I really don't want to have to fork out the £100 or so to get it professionally done at MINI, not only do I not want to fork out, but I can't afford it either!!

Please help

Try using some heat on them to get the crease out - but it also depends on what material it is.

Is there a name/type of vinyl on the backing paper??

P.

But we could do you some using the proper stuff too

send them back to the seller.

Advise the seller that they are now of no use as they have been folded and are creased.
if they refuse then the negitive feedback threat always seems to work

See the thing is I've messaged him and he's said "you've had a while to check" etc and I said but they're creased. He says "they were packaged well" which they were...folded up in bubble wrap then masses of tape folded round, not SENSIBLY packaged. He hasn't left me feedback yet either which is kinda stupid seeing as I did my bit as the buyer

Unless someone wants to offer me £5 for them it looks like I've wasted my money
