Graphics for my Grandson's new Christmas MINI

I bought a new Baby Racer II for my grandson, Peyton. It's for Christmas, he'll be 1 in January.
I wish it came in Pepper White and an "S" version, but besides that it didn't come with bonnet stripes either.
So I added some. It also needed front turn signals, driving lights, lower radiator black-out and a rear license plate. Well with a color laser printer, photoshop and some good label stock I took care of that!

Two words... LOVE IT! I can't believe how much the striping adds. Really cute. I thought about getting one of these for my neices but never did.

Obviously you're good at this work... maybe you could transform it into a PW? Too much work? Still love it though!

I just showed the husband and he thought it was awesome.

Please post a picture when your grandson gets it!

My great niece is named Payton and my MINI (Tatum) is named after her (nickname taters or tatertot = Tatum). I would buy her one but she lives in Michigan and comes from a GM family and I am already in the doghouse for buying an import.

You've got the real thing babe! The husband wants to buy a remote controlled MINI Cabrio for "ME" ... but I told him that I've got all I need out in the garage!

lol. Nice! When ever i have kids (hopefully a long time from now) I would be doing the same thing. I just got to find a wife that will let my kid have the middle name "Cooper". But any way, any kid would love that.

Awwwww... just checked earlier today to see if you had posted a picture yet. So cute! Unfortunately (for the person that got him the train) it looks like he said "Screw the train... I've got a MINI COOPER!". Good boy!
