MINI Yours Customised



My first MINI Yours Customised items which were 3D printed, the numbers and letters represent/match the number plate on the vehicle (F56 UK Car) with the Union Jack flag in the background. Just thought you may like to see.

Nice job! I bought some for mine that were colored Union Jack flags a few years ago.

These are so cool. I actually picked up a set of the limited run they had made for MTTS 2018. Just glorious.

I really wanted them, but wasn't a fan of the red or black. Wanted them in white, but they said no dice. Oh well! They're on clearance from the MTTS merchandise site right now. Might still be tempted!

Found the MINI configurator for the side indicators quite difficult to get just what you want, would have been nice to view actual already generated pieces they had made to choose from or just slightly modify for your own personal taste. Your’s look really good and I would suspect it took them quite some time to actually make them this look good. Visualising the size of the finished item is also quite difficult as the piece is quite small anyway, think I probably went to big on the text not leaving enough room for the background flag to show up enough.

From what I heard from the German gentleman who installed them with me, they do seem to know it's quite hard, and he said they are still working diligently to make the program better. Might be the reason they have not released it to the US yet. I like your design though and can definitely still tell its the british flag.

Funny story: I just now realized mine shows the American flag. (funny since I have Union Jack Taillights)

Think the lettering size makes all the difference to the overhaul effect when finished.

Those are pretty cool and printed off by order. Some of the same machines that make prototype parts.
