Just wanted to share a good shopping experience with you all .....

I've just had some new graphics done for my mirror caps

and used MINI2 advertised Idle Gear - you can see their banner frequently scrolling at the top of your screens - and must say they were superb with their service, especially Kev. The first delivery got lost by the post office so when i let them know another set was in the post the same evening. When I wasn't sure exactly what size i wanted they provided me with 3 versions so I could choose whichever best suited. I'd recommend them to anyone else - thanks Kev

i'm sure they look very nice, whatever they are

I agree with Soggy's comments about Idle Gear, top service and my bonnet stripes arrived all safe and sound in a sturdy cardboard tube, although the postman couldn't get it through the letter box so I had to go pick it up from the depot.

Still, alls well that ends well, and the stripes look great:

Someone was even kind enough to leave a spare classic mini in the background

no piccies yet because Danni is naked at the moment. took the old ones off yesterday by which time it was too cold and wet to carry on, wet and dark tonight so still not on. Probably be the weekend now before i do them, still it's nice having Danni naked for a bit

Will post pics when they're done

Here's my IdleGear pic.....I'm in the States, shipping was fast and furious, quality was top notch. Kev's assistance was unbeatable.

Got the chequers for the top at the same time. Easy install, nice finish.

Just thought I'd chime in and say I also got great service from Idle Gear, and I'm in the US also. It took 1 week for my checkered roof kit to get here from the UK, the price was great, and the instructions and template worked nicely.

MattP · Oct 7th, 2003, 12:56 PM

Quick question, I put my bonnet stripes on and all seemed pretty much fine, the next day I had lots of small bubble appear, are these likely to go down over time with the heat and cold of the engine heating the bonnet or should I attack them with a pin soon. Its only 3 days since I put them on, any thoughts?
