Hi,
My friend (leggy, blonde, slightly dippy) needs her mini's stripes renewed as they're fading.

A dealer has quoted £600 for them but wondering if there's anyone who can do cheaper e.g. a Body Wrap place.

Based in Cheshire/Liverpool/Stafford if possible

Thanks in advance,

Robin.

If you are prepared to fit them yourself these guys will probably make a set for less 1/10th of the dealer price.

ask for Warren. top chap.

DMB Graphics do the mini stripes. Around £14 for the R50, R51, R53 and R56 versions. Just find a vinyl sign writing place and they'll usually apply them for you for around £15.

I've used DMB for Focus ST vinyl bits and for retro sponsorship stickers for my sons 1930's tin pedal car. Always had top service from them.
