    Hi all

    Should hopefully be collecting my Cooper S this evening. Its all black and I would really like to have white stripes put on the bonnet.
    Can I buy them from BMW or do are the ones on ebay just as good? Or should I go to one of these grpahics places to get them?
    Are they easy enough to apply (would get hubby to do this!).
    Any suggestions appreciated!
    :)

    Bonnet stripes should be easy enough it's geting them to look symetrical that scares me :I
    Personally i would get an expert to do them

    When I got mine done on the S the guy at the dealer who had done said it had taken him ages to get them right!

    I'm with the sensible mod above :)

    Hi Guys

    Thanks for all you replies, however when I went to collect the car last night it already had stripes on!
    My other half had arranged for the garage to take the car to a local graphics co last week and put the stripes on. A nice surprise for me! Guys aren't all bad!
