Help me Counterfeit my car
With suggestions from folks I have decided to do it. I already have a set of donated bonnet stripes to go on the
Lexus . So I got those.
The vinyl will be worn duing MOTD
Does anyone have any good MINI stickers?
Looking for the following:
I'm trying to find out who makes the CooperS in training sticker.
MINI Wings
MINI Logos
Anything MINI
Actual Size decal
I am going to make some little bits of vinyl to say silly MINI things...

Sorry, brain... you can put bonnet stripes, checkered mirror caps, driving lamps, and grille badges on that car. You can chop off the trunk and convert it to a boot. You can even create some squeeks when you hit a bump...
But in the end, that thing is still not a MINI.

What about replacing the antenna with a Stock MINI antenna...
a) if it fits
b) if it isn't already the same

Mark, I agree
If your really going to do this, you need to throw about 5 codes, go into limp mode, start finding some rust, and visit Tate about 7 times in the next 2 months.
Otherwise, it won't even be counterfeit ... just a pale imitation

Also keeping away from the Lexi group. They are so boring and worried about bling and chrome.
No fun in them like the MINI Community

Dude ... your snubbing your peers?
Got it. Toyota boards are very boring. Whining about cupholders gets old real quick.
Car sounds great. Someday your going to have to show me that Lexi. The Apprentice did a piece on Lexi last week and it was ALL about the luxary

A friend of mine had an IS300 and he was into autoX scene. He had a few IS300 friends who were more about the performance than the show. Those were his autoX'er friends. But there were some others which were pretty much show cars as well.
The IS seems to be a good all around car. of course it's not gonna have the following like a MINI does. Most people get a Lex so "they can have a nice car". Those were the words of my friend who bought an IS250 AWD. His salesman tried sellin me one of those too. I said, "no, I have my eyes set on something else. A MINI!!!"
