    So you're in Glasgow..
    Why not give John from Apex a call...in Edinburgh... quite reasonable... and they'll fit em too if you like..

    Everyone on here has been happy with his supplies!
    (including me!)

    Definately give John at Apex a phone (0131 657 3630) and I'm sure he'll help you out, does some very nice roof decals and even mirror decals too!!

    Dunno about the fitting, I did my roof graphic myself...
    and yes.. they post out...

    Setting them out should be fairly easy... just try and follow the line of the edge of the bonnet... and keep using lots of soapy water and a good squeegy thing to make sure they go on flat without any bubbles under them!

    Hi

    I think you asked me this before - I used a guy in Kirky who designed and fitted my stripes for a third of the price BMW would charge.

    Driving through to Edinburgh could take the same time as trying to fit them yourself

    like LnL i fitted mine myself. A little attention to detail and it works out quite well. If your in glasgow you should check out smurfs guy as he is more local. (that and her stripes are amazing)
