Go for it you know you want to:D

Talk to john at apex signs about them. He can do pretty much any graphics you want.
Way cheaper than going to BMW for graphics.

I was well chuffed with the bonnet stripes and chequed roof he did on my cooper

Very yes!

just going to buy them now from uksignshop.com which ones do bmw supply 90mm wide or 120mm stripes ?

Thats where i got my bonnet stripes from i think, then got apex to put them on for me.
I got the ones with the small pinstripe either side of the main stripe.Listed as bonnet stripes detailed on there site

Far more of a curve in the ones i got compared to the standard bmw ones.

Just ordered the 90mm wide ones in black, they are quite cheap so if i dont like them then its no big deal. Cheers guys for the comments

must have stripes - what other car can you do it on?

I love my stripes - I've got the pinstripe on mine but on the EB I think I needed then, didn't have the pin on my IB. On red, they stand out so much i dont think you need them(the pinstripe i mean).

And Steves right - what other car can you get away with it, while maintaining you dignity? I've seen a few Puntos with viper stripes...oh lord no!

Was having a think about getting some stripes added to growler as well but wanted something a bit different. Any opinions on this style?

awrighty!

had me cooper a coupla months now, and come service time, i want some extras stuck on!

stripes? i cant decide, if yes, do i have to go to BMW?

mudflaps? anyoen has these fitted? do they drag over speedbumps?

do they keep the mud off? wondering cos i've never had a set on any other cars that didnt drag etc . . . . .

any other ideas??

cheers!!

Stripes - yes!
BMW - no! Far too expensive. I printed a picture of mine from CooperFlags web site and took them to a local signwriter, he did a grand job, for about a third of the price BMW would charge.

There are loads of Mini's now with all sorts of customisation on them, and they all look fab. Go for it!
