Replacement Custom Mini Cooper Vinyl Bonnet Stripes
THE BRIEF
Damaged Custom Vehicle Graphics
Have you accidentally damaged your custom car graphics with a pressure washer or drive-through car wash? Maybe even just a small dink in a car park has led to your graphics pealing or being torn. Accidents happen! When this happens, its good to know your exact graphics can be replicated and restore your vehicle back to its original glory.
On this occasion our client had accidentally found the worst combination for vinyl vehicle graphics - teaming a hot sunny day with a drive-through car wash making their custom bonnet stripes start to peal and flake.
You can see the damage in the two images below that needed to be fixed:
THE SOLUTION
Replicated & Replacement Vehicle Graphics
We invited our client over to our HQ to assess their bonnet graphics condition and make sure the panelling underneath had not been impacted. Once this was cleared our client expressed they were looking for a like-for-like replacement with an exact a match as we could find.
With the full library of vehicle graphic vinyls at our disposal, we were able to source an exact colour match and finish to the main stripe as well as the smaller detailing on either side. With measurements and colour codes in-hand, we roped in our graphic designers to produce a layout of the new vinyl bonnet stripe placement for our client to sign-off on (see right). Although only one stripe was damaged, it is always better in these incidents to replace all matching graphics, this will then make sure all vinyl applications are to the same standard and colours, as well as refresh the guarantee. We offer a 7-year warranty on our vehicle graphics when applied by our professionals!
Our Installations Team is also well equipped to offer a full vehicle vinyl removal service, so with the old graphics safely removed, the vehicle was professionally cleaned and the new bonnet stripes installed.

VEHICLE GRAPHICS Q&A
Vehicle Graphics Most Asked Questions, Answered
Do I have to bring my vehicle to you, or can you travel for installation? We are based in Axminster and have a fully fitted and maintained wrapping area for vehicles. Due to the nature of vinyl and its complexity, our space is dust-free, heat controlled, and spacious to allow for even the largest of vehicles. We would recommend that if you're able to bring your vehicle to us so we can control all elements and make sure your graphics not only look their best but can be applied in the best environment possible. We are able to travel for installation and will include any costs in doing so in your quote.
How long do Vehicle Graphics take to apply? We normally ask to have your vehicle for a day to be able to apply graphics. Pending the size of the vehicle, the area being covered, and the level of detail required, some vehicles can take a few days to complete. We will always discuss this with you during quotation so you are not caught out and can arrange alternative transport for the time your vehicle is with us.
How much does Vehicle Graphics cost? This really is dependent on the type and size of your vehicle, and again the amount of media and time for labour required. We created a handy guide detailing the ballpark figures you should allow pending on the type of work needed here.
Can you help me design my Vehicle Graphics? Of course! We have a Design Team in-house fully equipped to walk you through the process and turn your branding, logo, and any other features you want into reality. We create a custom template for your make and model, and will then send proofs of what the final creation will look like before anything goes to print. We have an extensive catalog of previous clients too in our Vehicle Graphics blogs so you can see past work done.
Do you offer Vehicle Graphic removal? We also offer a removal service if you've got a vehicle with vinyl already installed, or needs replacing. Give us a call or email to discuss what you need doing.
