    Hi, has anyone done these before and could you give me some tips on how to do them??? The mirrors are white at the minute and I was thinking of cutting squares of black and applying them individually??? Any help would be brilliant.

    Didn’t you do a wrapping course recently? The mirrors would be a good start!

    I am not a mini fan,
    I do apply graphics for bmw though, and a mini owner would normally prefer to buy the genuine chequered covers at £80ish than have vinyl squares stuck on.
    But if you are going to do it in vinyl squares it will not work, the mirrors are a convex surface, and the squares will not meet up if you try to stick them on separately.
    yes you could print and wrap, but to be honest, for a one off, hardly worth competing with the real thing, look at the genuine article

    Done it to a fiesta nightmare to get the proper curve as it goes both ways ended up doing one line in the middle and measuring and fitting one line at a time. NOT profitable unless you have the proper template. well for me anyway.
