Video tutorial

In this video, you will learn how to install an accessory that may seem trivial but is certainly the most aesthetically suitable for the Mini: stripes on the bonnet. You can find them on Amazon with code B07HM138XD in various colour combinations for £25.99 plus £8.99 for shipping.

They are designed to withstand all weather conditions and UV rays for 5 to 7 years. For installation, take measurements to ensure they are symmetrical, and of course, the surface must be thoroughly cleaned before applying them.

Follow the instructions from our YouTuber for the measurements. Apply them half at a time as illustrated, smoothing them out to avoid air bubbles, then trim the ends with a craft knife.

Remove the clear protective film and the operation is complete!
