Sparkling Silver Owners Club
I got a sparkling silver cooper and I love it, such a great colour! I love how it doesn't show the dirt during the winter like my black truck used to. I also like how well the black roof and bonnet stripes go with it. I'm glad I bought it over the pepper white colour I was originally looking at.

Regardless they're both gorgeous colors and your MINI, especially with the black, looks great.
hpaco, thanks for the pics. Our cars are nearly twins, mini has no bonnet stripes. It looks great to me but mine's still on the boat. The pictures look great so I can't wait to see it in person!
Another bump. Nicodemus with his phat bonnet stripes from Aesthetic Creations.

And his boot with his name below the license plate. Thinking about removing the Roadshow emblem and getting another set of chrome letters saying 1:1.

And with his new friend (my bf's) Deimos, and '08 NFR/NFR who will soon have his own set of spaced pin black bonnets from AC. Will and Steve, interesting color scheme coincidence eh? (Though we obviously didn't opt for the S's - we're too environmentally minded, lol.)

Eh, I don't mind it so much. A hair dryer should take care of it. We did manage to pick up Mark's car either before they had a chance to stick it on or they just didn't worry about it since we were getting it so quickly (it came in Friday evening, we picked it up Saturday afternoon).
I wouldn't mind a set of silver letters. Where do you get them? My car is named "Flash" for now {as in "flash car", british slang (I think) for showy}, and that could look pretty cool on the back...
I got mine from Badge Your Ride. They were like $2.50 per letter, so not bad for a short name. However, Nicodemus and Deimos added up! Hah, it's cool though, well worth the expense IMHO.
I do kinda wish I could've gotten the letters in black now that I'm wanting to black out several things on this car. Also, it would look a little less...commercial? We took Mark's car over to our insurance to get it added, and he kept looking at his computer mumbling something about not being able to find the Deimos edition! lol Forgot all about that. Mark's car's name is up where my Roadshow emblem is, so it looks pretty official.
Oops, make that $2.15 per letter right now at BYR.
Yeah, we installed the Phat stripes ourselves. It went pretty well, especially considering how huge the stripes are and how cold and windy it was. There are a couple of small creases that couldn't be removed and I think I have one or two air/water bubbles still I need to pop because they haven't gone away. But other than those, they look pretty well professionally done (not my words, btw).
We tried to install a set of regular bonnet stripes on the NFR last week and it didn't go so well. They were a cheap buy off Ebay and just barely fit, so I'm not sure if it was poor grade vinyl or weather conditions or what, but it was crap. Bubbles all over the place, creasing, etc.

We just got Daphne on January 8 and love her and the color. "Champagne" seems to work the best at describing her.
