Hi
As you may well know these have been a little bit of a problem to obtain in the past. The problem being with the combination of reproducing the stripes using the original 3m manufacturers latest specification material with the MG motif being printed/inked onto the front wing-previously this was an either or scenario. I have since found a company who have spent no less than 60 man hours copying the originals via two seperate processes' to make sure that the profile's are 100 percent spot on before then digitising into CAD.
The result is now a stripe set that looks and feels as per original.
Due to the amount of material used the most cost effective way to produce these is in batches of 6 so I taken the plunge and ordered 6 sets up which have now just been finished and should be with me later next week.
These will [u][b]only[/b][/u] ever be available to club members at a special pice of £120 per kit (no vat) plus UK postage of £10.95 (postage abroad etc. will be quoted on before hand.
Currently I have 4 interested parties so if anyone else is interested please let me know sooner rather than later.
Best regards
Colin

If it ain't broken don't try to fix it as if you do it will definitely break

Apologies for the delay but these are now here. I've checked them over and lined them over the original decals on my car and they are absolutely spot on, from the thickness of the material, alignment relative to the old stripes/body and the printed wing logo, which lines up perfectly, is probably even sharper than the original.
Please see the attached photos.
If you are interested please let me know?
The list of interested parties so far is-
Andrew Love
MGB Belgium
Chris Greenwood
George Stewart
Apologies If i've missed anyone
If the above all still want these then that leaves two remaining sets available howevwer if you are not in a position to purchase them at the moment then don't worry as they will be readily available from now on but typically a 4-6 wk lead time if JULE doesn't have stock.

I can't believe how quickly these sets are selling...I've just ordered the next batch of 3 up and should have them by mid march.
1 set is already sold and I have one other very interested party. So if you are interested in the last set please let me know? :D:D
If you have had/fitted a set please please send me a photo as it would be great to post ? 🙂
