Bonnet Stripes

Hi everyone,

My other half got a silver mini one about two weeks ago and she loves it but she did think it was a bit plain being all silver, so she has ordered some chequred bonnet stripes and wants me to put them on at the weekend for her .

Does anybody have any installation tips to put these on ???, is there a way of getting them off if it all goes pear shape ???

Cheers
Stan.

Take your time, measure them out (I used eyeliner pencil/chinagraph pencil for guide marks)

Depending on the type of decal, use soapy water to allow for easy movement before they set.

MAKE SURE YOU DO IT ON A DRY AND NON-WINDY DAY

Good luck, I did mine myself, took me about an hour and a half to do bonnet stripes, side stripes, small roof decal
