Ariel gets Cabrio Bum Stripes...

I ordered these stripes a while back from dragonflyer at Aesthetic Creations and FINALLY had a chance to get them on the car. I think he did a great job!!!

I didn't want to cut the stripe around the Cooper S badge letters so I took them off and ordered a new set to put back on top of the stripe. At first I wasn't sure I would like them because I've not seen another Cabrio with them, but I think they look pretty neato....

Those look great! Did you do the install yourself? How difficult was it to trim around the boot hinges?

NICE JOB

NICE JOB

We did the install ourselves - very easy - just requires patience...

And they came pre-cut around the boot hinges which made it even easier..

Nice! I like the look over the hinges. Have you had an issues with peeling from opening the boot?

There is an annual "Woodie" show here in late summer. Mike picked it up as a surprise for me when Ariel arrived last September..:smile: :smile: But I've seen them elsewhere since then. I can look for one if you would like. They aren't exactly cheap - around $30 I think. Just let me know and when I find one I'll pick it up for ya.

Oh I didn't know they could come precut. I ordered mine from Cooper flags and had quite the time trying to install them myself. Wound up taking them to a local grafics place and having them install them.

No issues at all. They actually used a heat gun to heat the sticker around the edges of the hinge. I am sure it was a pain in the a$$ to do, but I haven't had any problems.
