Not to difficult.....

Remove backing strip from sticky stuff and stick them on to the sill's. Though JCG's fitted mine I did fit the previous "Mini Cooper S" strips and presume they are the same.

I mihgt be missing something and the JCW strips might be way more complicated but I think thats all ya have to do!

The hardest part of the process is removing the double sided tape from the sill in place and that is not hard but time consuming. The service must be smooth because the new JCW sill will show the imperfections.

Nice

I have heard dental floss and a hairdryer is good for this!
