I have an S model... and I saw someone said every S should have stripes... I think stripes might look cool but hubby thinks not ..... I dunno...

What would you do to spice up my girl if she was yours? Here is her latest pic:



And I've added this....

 

That's a hard ??? It looks so nice the way it is!!! What about a cold air intake??

 

I personally like it without stripes. It looks very classy now and may look too "sports car-ish" with stripes.

 

It's obvious to me that you need leopard stripes!

 

This is her 1st pic.... top down.

Since this pic I've added springs/wheel/badge and I have some little goodies for the inside coming... nothing big

 

Yah I can see that... and clearly I am a girl... so I'd rather be classy than sporty...

 

Clearly you are a fun girly girly too!! I thought about that... not like the thick part but like the pin strip ... But I dont want it to be too much.. leopard is my "pop" .... so you know this is a chicks car!! I had to girly it up some so my hubby wouldn't steal it!

 

how about a (tasteful) graphic on the side or the boot? or side scuttles with a design?

 

great looking car and equally awesome photography! you take those photos yourself?
i just picked up a BRGII MCS with sport and black roof/mirrors on sat. the car was ordered w/o the stripes, but i'm getting them put in this weekend.

 

Thank jomama... yes I did. I'm a photographer/graphic designer so that helps for cool pics!

 

I wouldn't put stripes on it.
It's much to dignified as it stands now.

 

if you could find some one to do the headlight bezzle in gold to match the wheels it could be interesting, though that could also turn out kinda cheezy (i'd photoshop it first to see if you like the look). Definitely would leave the stripes off in your case since the look you've got thus far really doesn't lend itself to them. have you thought about hydro printing the engine cover or chrome parts of the side scuttles with a leopard print pattern?

 

My immediate reaction is similar to others - it's so nice the way it is that it would be easy to over do it.

Hard to stop though isn't it.

I like the more subtle suggestion that have been offered. I do like the finish on the new wheel centers - it complements the paint beautifully.

Tough to match it exactly on the headlight rims and other trim pieces I should think, but that's my favorite suggestion of all.

 

Love the gold LM's! Looks better without stripes I think. Is the car de-badged?

 

While I am a total fan in the corner of stripes, I think in your case I'd do something different. Either the mirror caps or the roof (just that small bit above the windshield).

I know what you are missing! You need an actual leopard in the backseat... a natural security system

I still think you should keep it the way it is, you have a beautiful car.

 

I love your car! I am new to this and this is my first post. Still trying to figure out things. I really like the banners everyone has at the bottom, still working on how to make one.
Where did you get the cool leopard badge?

 

I agree with your husband....NO stripes! lol

Now i think you need to do something about the wheel gap. Get some coilovers. That'll make your car look waaaayyyyy better I like the chrome on your car so i say leave that as is. You could also remove the cooper s from the back, it would clean it up back there. Oh BTW nice color combo!!

 

no stripes, loosk so good and classy now! love those wheels!!! i say CAI or rear sway bar to add to the fun factor? or some coils!

 

Looks perfect now! no stripes.

 

^^^ +1 ^^^
Maby... UGH I GIVE UP.

 

Thanks for all the replies guys! I spilled martini on my laptop and have been out of touch for a few days! lol huge bummer! lol

I think I agree.... no stripes... but it is hard to stop! Though I totally love the idea of having a real leopard guard in the back! HA!

No she isn't debadged.... that pic was just taken before I put it on. I'm moving to a new state next month so I've been too busy to take new pics!!

I had the badge custom designed. I made the design and had it produced by gobadges.com Pretty cool site I love my badge... its a great way to add personality to your car in classy minimal way.

I have some cool little mods for her coming for my bday Those will hold me over for now!

Shes getting 2 shopping bag holders/organizers and a cell phone mount installed.

I'll keep the pics coming in to show her little mods!

xo

 

What are coil covers? I did lower my car with springs... the wheel gap is TINY!!! I'm new to car talk... but I guess I dont really know what coils are lol

 

LOL I LOVE THIS!!!!

 

Wish I knew what those were.... and where they go! HA
