I had stripes and yes having been to the factory can confirm they are fiitted there as long as the dealer doesn't mess your order up. If they do they all seem to have a stripe man. They often fit their own which are very good copies and are usually cheaper than mini originals. For egs my wife bought a black roadsters s. She wanted red jcw stripes and the sticker man did them for£60 and you really can't tell the difference. Don't worry if the dealer is doing them it will be great whatever!
