NAM Novice, be gentle

Hi All - I've had my '09 MCS for about a year now..picked it up used, due to budget constraints. You know how that goes. I've been browsing around and there's a lot of great info here.

My Mini is all black, and I want to jazz it up a bit, so I'm wondering if anyone has any experience putting on stripes or a full roof vinyl design decal, and if you have any suggestions on web retailers.

Thanks!

Welcome to the forum - as far as the stripes & graphics go I have always used Mike at aesthetic creations for my MINI's and for my work trucks. He does good work.

For other mods - check out the vendor section of the forum - lots of good vendors here!!!

good luck & Welcome!!

Applying vinyl decals isn't very hard. You may even be able to find a kit online with the tools you need, squeegee, soap spray, etc.

I full roof would be a little harder to apply due to size. But with stripes, all you really have to do is measure the placement of them, wet the surface with the spraying liquid, and apply them.
