How to mount the strips on the Mini

Model: Mini Mini R56, R55, R57 - Years 2007-2014
Part: Body

In this video we see how to mount an apparently frivolous accessory, but certainly the most aesthetically suitable for the Mini: the stripes on the hood. We can find them on Amazon with the code B07HM138XD in various color combinations at the price of 25.99 euros + 8.99 euros for shipping. They are designed to resist all weather agents and UV rays for 5/7 years. For installation, it is necessary to take measurements to place them symmetrically, and of course the surface must be carefully cleaned before applying them. We follow the indications of our youtuber for the measurements. Let's apply them half at a time as shown, smoothing them well to avoid air bubbles, then shape them at the ends with a cutter. Remove the transparent protection and the operation is completed!
