Hey everyone!

so i've been wondering on if i should change my stripes or not on my mini! I own a 2008 astro black metallic mini cooper. Lately, the newer mini coopers with the red viper stripes have been catching my eye. And i'd love to put them on! But i can't find a image online or anything to help me. So i was hoping someone can maybe Photoshop a black 2008 mini cooper (try and not use a s type please) with red viper stripes and maybe red mirror caps as well? Also should i do it or not? Im thinking of getting red viper stripes with red mirror caps if i commit! And if yall have suggestions on other color of stripes i should get or style of the stripe feel free to post! please and thank you!

 

The best thing about a MINI is you can customize it as you like. Go ahead and do what you like .

 

Alright thanks! It's just i don't want to mess anything up!

 

What climate do you live in? One of the issues may be ghosting of the paint where the current bonnet stripes are located that will be evident when you remove them. Just food for thought before removing them. If the car has been garaged and in a climate where extreme sun has not been beating down on black base coat since new, the ghosting may be minor. If it has lived it's life outside or in extreme sun, the ghosting may be extreme.

 

Is ghosting an issue with all colors? Just curious because I have a Chili red and was thinking of removing the strips or replacing them. It is garaged overnight but will be sitting out in the sun while I work from 1 pm to night.

 

I live in North texas! But my car occasionally is parked outside when the spots in my garage are taken. But i've had my car for a year now and when i bought it the dealer had applied the stripes..so they haven't been on for a long time, Will ghosting be an issue????????? But the sun is strong down here, like its mid December and its almost 80 degrees!

 

Also is there any way to get rid of the ghosting????
