Is my MINI a mut???


I have a CR/W '08 MCS--but I have black bonnet & Boot stripes (which have a white trim). Another mini owner commented that she may be a mut!
However, I love "Sperbie" (a cross between Speed Racer & Herbie the love bug) Besides, isn't it true that sometimes muts are the most endearing?
or will "Sperbie" be forever snubbed and looked down upon by those "thouroghbreds" in this mini community? Should we change her?

ChiliB, I'm down with the mutt look. Nothing wrong with the W/top and black stripes, don't change a thing.
"Sperbie" can hang with "Checka'" anytime...

scratching head confused smilie

Aquasar.. what are you getting at?- does "Pepper" get around?

Thanks to "Checka" ! "Sperbie" likes to make new friends! We'll be at the Boston MTTS in a few weeks! P.S. love that car!

We were thinking of doing something to the roof. We like the checks but we may go with the Mini wings logo. It's a blank canvas... any suggestions?

ChiliB, the mini wings are sweet, I've also seen a CR with the "blackjack" roof decal, that looked great.
I'm hoping to upgrade to an '08 pretty soon, I might try a custom design.
Not sure if we will make MTTS, Cape Cod Mini's are throwing a little gtg on the 22nd. in my old stomping grounds.

It's your MINI and you should do with it whatever you like! You shouldn't change a thing, unless you want to! It makes your MINI YOU-nique!
It looks great and the fun thing about MINI's is that you will rarely ever see 2 the same. I think on their website it says you have a greater chance of being struck by lightening them meeting someone who has the exact MINI you have!

Thanks for making me feel welcome!

I knew my mini was different, and I am glad to see that what I thought to be true- (that all mini owners were friendly and just happy to welcome another mini lover such as myself) is the case. Being different is the core of all minis! I am still new- but I love being apart of this "cool" community- thanks for making us feel welcome!
We hope to make some mods soon-mabey konig wheels-Alta exhaust-a roof design-red accents to the interior, and mabey a carbon fiber scoop and boot latch cover- but we are going to wait to see what we like at Boston's MTTS first.

This is true!!! A MINI is unique in it's ability to be personalized in the extreme. Different is good!!!

ps...I've been lusting after some Konigs, too.
