Thanks for posting!

Update: I ordered the boot stripes only for my Clubman, since i already have the bonnet stripes. Fortunately, my installer cut around the stripes, when he installed my clear bra. If the stripes discolor, I know who to order from in the future.

Hoping for roof stripes from RMG.

I received my set of stripes very quickly from RMG. I sent them an email to ask if they will be producing a set for the roof, too. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

Good news - they seem to have increased many of the ordering options and have included a non-S Clubman option So I'm going ahead and ordering silver stripes with black pinstriping to replace my stock silver bonnet stripes and put some on the boot.

I wonder why they don't offer the two middle stripes for the non-Clubman? They only seem to offer the stock bonnet stripes.

Seems like they should split the bonnet and boot stripes, or at least allow you to order them separately as an option vs. the Clubman package.

Only $5 shipping to Canada too!

New stripes got here already, just got done installing them.
They went on easy, done different stripes on my old mustang and my brother's MCS. There are a few little bubbles but from my experience they will go away in the sun. They are black with silver pin stripes. Some pics

Did you paint your roof or is it a vinyl wrap?

Well I ordered my stripes the other day (silver with black pins to replicate the original factory stripes) and they've shipped. Hope to see them soon.

They have non-S Clubman packages, and for $45 shipped, they're an awesome deal. Looking forward to ditching the stock factory stripes and having something at least a bit different than the norm.

Stripes looking great, everyone, and can't beat the price either .

Question: for those of you who installed them yourself was it difficult fitting them around the barn doors (Clubman)? PRE-CUT front and rear, correct?

I fitted checkered stripes to a previous MINI (Hardtop) and they turned out pretty good, but I'm just worried about getting them right on the back.

The rear ones have a cut in them so you can get them around the wiper blade without taking them off. They are a bit harder to line up because the door has to be opened to get them done. One of the top areas on mine is lined up slightly different then the other but its not that noticeable. Gonna redo it later (thinking sliver with black pins in the future) but it will do for now.

Thats sounds interesting. Right now I'm trying to add more Pure silver into my ride (got mirror caps and bonnet scoop showing up in the morning). Red pins might spice it up nice, gotta get my brother to PS it.

go to your local auto parts store, sometimes they have rolls of 1/8" pin stripes for like 2 bucks. If they have red, try it. you dont have to adhere it, scotch tape if first to see the look before you peel the adhesive off. Its a really good inexpensive trick to try.

My Bonnet stripes are ALL black and I actually applied a silver Pinstripe over the edge of the stripe.

I like the pure silver. great look!

Fantastic instructions...I have "factory" installed (actually they install at NJ port) sport stripes on my clubman. I'm considering other graphics on mine, so I'll be refering back here soon!

Another satisfied customer of RMG. I'm at present waiting for my roof stripes. Will post back when installed.

Thanks for an excellent how-to - it went fairly well although I would add the caveat that when doing the rear doors if your clubbie is an older one you should take extra care to rinse out any road grit that has accumulated in the window trim. I got quite a bit of grit that washed out while I was spraying with my soapy solution...

Well - cough - remember me saying about the grit in the window trim?? - the back isn't quite as photogenic because there are a lot of bubbles from the grit trapped under the vinyl. Brent at RMG is going to ship out some more of the boot stripes when I get the roof stripes.

When I've got it all done I'll shoot some more glamour shots.

Thanks for the props :D

Great point, I edited the WRITEUP, because the Beltline on the boot...it gets REALLY dirty. Also cleaning under and around the wipers, they too get a lot of Grit.

Roof stripes and replacement boot stripes now on. I'll wait for Brent at RMG to post the roof stripes on his site then will add an addendum to the how-to.

For those who purchased stripes from RMG, how are they holding up? I think I am going to buy a set of silver sport stripes from them pretty soon .
