Anyone know where I can get a set of stripes and decals for my 1990 Cooper which has a White Diamond roof. I've tried kits from 2 suppliers but in each case the stripes are much brighter/"whiter" than the roof?

Talk to Martin at stickyfingers. He will be able to do them in any shade of white.

Have you tried Somerford Mini Ltd

You had better check with Somerford to make sure they are correct & have them in stock but the part numbers are correct....

IF you've tried these & they are wrong then your roof has either faded over time, been resprayed a different white,

or you haven't used the Rover Paint Code on the VIN (dare i say it -IF the VIN actually belongs to that car).

Thanks for replying. I did try the Somerford  stripes last year as the part numbers were correct. Unfortunately I had to send them back because yet again they were 'too  white' when compared to the roof. I hear what you say about the vin but I'm pretty sure the vin is correct as I had a tin of white diamond made up from the vin and it matches perfectly. I have also compared mine to others of the same age which also match mine. So although the correct part numbers are quoted it seems that  there are number of copies out there which purport to be the same as originals. Unless I've got it entirely wrong, in which case I stand corrected.

If you have matching paint then why not just mask the bonnet up and paint them on?

The problem is I need the side pinstripes and decals as well

It could well be the roof is not the original colour.

 

again Stickyfingers graphics will be able to sort the whole lot if you have a paint code or sample.

I know how you feel -whenever possible I only buy 'New Old Stock' due to this problem.

Read your reply then remembered I have a set of 20 year old OEM Avery Dennison White Decals knocking about - unfortunately just dug them out & they are OE White (blast!).

Southlake Minis claim to sell Genuine NOS stickers (but after my last purchase from them i wouldn't stake my life on that)
