Hello MY owners!
I recently picked up a 2009 MY JCW -(11,000 miles). I had a new 2008 MY MCS ( loved it ) , but sold it to get the Elise. I have missd my MINI ever since. So when I found the low mileage MY JCW -I jumped on it. I love the JCW torque and power and I sure love the color.

Took me less than 5 minutes. They are not the OEM but from cooper flag. I used a hairdryer on hot setting and for about 20 seconds and started peeling from the top corner. About 1/4 way, I used the hairdryer again till both stripes came off. No sticky stuff at all beneath the vinyl stripes. Stripes never tored when I pulled it off.
There was a tiny bit of wax build up on the edges of the strip. I used goo gone to remove with paper towels. After the fact, I realized I shouldn't have used paper towel.
I am going to try detailing my car using clay bar next week so I figured I have the "clean" look so it would be easier.
In the future, I may possibly add the stripes back and also on the boot.

Too late to join the party?

Great pics in this thread!
My 03 was Liquid Yellow / White with bonnet stripes - loved that look. When I went shopping I was really hoping to find Mellow Yellow / Black, but I ended up with a Laser Blue / Black.
Don't get me wrong - I love the color, but will always always have a soft spot for yellow!

I know this isn’t the for sale forum but since ya’ll speaking of black and yellow seats, I still have a set of these laying around.
125 bucks includes shipping anywhere in the US.

PS. The covers shown here are the ones that were in my car but the pic is taken when they were brand new. They were about 7-8 months old when I took them out... just being up front, they’re not torn or in bad condition at all, just didn’t want to insinuate they were brand new.

What kind of care/maintenance can you do with these covers? Are they machine washable. Unfortunately my MINI is in the dealership getting engine parts replaced. I'll PM you once I get it back, hopefully you still have them then.
Thanks!
