Maybe use a low adhiesive masking tape to run as a guide. Once you're happy with the masking tape line you could carefully follow the line with the stripes. Not sure whats the best way... got mine to do eventually

put the strip on in one hit dont split them into 3 pieces
as alreay said use soapy water, its very easy to do the side strips BUT get another pair of hand to help you other wise dont attempt it. plenty of soapy water.
and dont open the door until you cut them appart either i nearly did this lol.
the boot sticker was the hardest to do imo as the letters dont stick that great and float about on the soapy water,
put them on the correct position aswell they look crap if the boot sticker is in the wrong place or the rs stickers on the wing are out.
