cameroon Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 One of the things that I want to do is add some stripes, but the options from MINI weren't what I want. What I have in mind isn't terribly exotic or difficult, but what I'd really like to do is go to someone's shop and lay a template or test or something on the car to see if it looks like I think it will. Then, either at that time or on a return trip, have the shop install them. Does anyone have any recommendations for a shop in the area?

Jason I'd love the info if you don't mind. I'm torn between having them installed and installing them myself. Mostly because I haven't done it before and so figure I'd leave out some critical step [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cameroon Posted March 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Watched some installation videos and yeah, it does seem pretty straightforward. Clean car and careful layout (and tape) before taking the backing off. I guess at this point it's just figuring out what I want.

GreenCactus Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 I installed Cricket's boot stripes myself. The hardest part was lining them up. I'm happy to help if you decide to do it yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
