It looks good! I want the ones you had... With red sides instead of white. Did you applied it yourself?

I was going to do it myself however as the bonnet is cut during application I got scared and got the pros to do it

The bumpers and sides would have been easy though.

Thanks for the like!

Are the bumper stickers the luxemini ones? I'm thinking off adding them to mine.

That's brave - a paint stripping gun on your car paint!

Not a lot of room for error?

I had the bumper crescents done at the same time with the bonnet.

My inspiration was the concept mini from a couple years back

Roof was too far for me and the boot lid which I also skipped.

I'm happy to send you the company details if you want. I believe not many do the bumper ones

Had to google luxemini as I had not hear of it but thank you for teaching me this! So nice stuff on there.

No they arnt is the short answer. Looking at the website - the rear looks very similar but the fronts are a little smaller than what I had done.

Not much difference though!

Cheers

That looks great, well done.
Another nice touch if its going too far or not but is to also have the front air dams cross bars (as in the demo picture above) coloured in red.

Very, very nice. Definitely an improvement on what already was a really nice looking JCW.

I have been toying around with the idea getting rid of the factory stripes on my MCS and going for similar kind on double stripes that you have. Just a bit worried that since the car is close to being there might be a slight color difference underneath the stripes. (It's already a year old

)

Yeah no problem

Elite Films in Birkenhead

Was a long drive but they seem to be the only ones who have experience with this particular stripe kits.

Thanks for the comment!

I'm pretty sure that the potential slight colour different will buff out.

When I took mine off there was an initial colour difference but I used GTech panel wipe followed by meguiars paint cleaner stage one polish and it all came good.

Good luck whatever you decide.
