For what it's worth - if you're even half competent, can follow a YouTube video and have a modicum of patience, it's not that hard.

Stripes and things on the side of a car are more challenging, but stuff that sits on the bonnet, roof etc is pretty simple if not a little nerve-wracking. If you use the genuine stickers from MINI, clean the surface properly, measure twice (or three times) and plenty of diluted washing up liquid, it's easy.

I can second this. I've done three bonnet stripe sections and two tailgate sections successfully myself using slighty soapy water and a little squeegy tool.

I once did my mercury grey RS Turbo side stripes (in silver from a 1600i with 'turbo' inserted). I did those 'dry' and it was a little stressful but they looked fantastic. Up the Max Power smile

Check with the dealer as well; mine (Snows in Portsmouth) charged £40 to install the bonnet and boot strips on our Clubman. Not sure what the style is called, and the kit possibly included roof stripes too looking at a eBay (where BMW seem to be selling them off cheap...I’m sure I paid more than that. Not massively more, but £150ish from memory)

Good point. My local dealer contracts out the fitting of stripes to a local company and charges £60 fitting.
