I thought you had more than that, the m|u logos near your tow hooks, the declas below your side vents, and the little guy on your dash. Does the rear plate black part count as a sticker?

Oh I got you beat.

Pull to Inflate over the tow hook
m|u decals on the side skirts
MetroplexMini.org decal on the back glass
GNAT graphic on the roof and rear.
Squished GNAT graphic on the scoop and splitter.

I have this got mods decal that Way gave to me but haven't found the right place for it yet.

Plus I have enough rungroup and soloed stickers from all the DE's to cover the windscreen. But those come off after each event.

Oh yeah..I've bought and sold more than that too. It's whats still sitting in the garage that counts. I'm down to 5 sets, 2 for track, 3 for street and 7 sets of tires.

Then there are the 2 sets that have never been mounted on the car...one of those sets has 3 of 4 still still sealed in their shipping boxes. Since April...

My favorites are the BBS LM's with the body colored centers.

Better get permission from COOPERation before you print that out and display it. You don't want any lawsuits for copyright infringement.

Only half kidding. I don't THINK he would mind, as long as you're not selling them or anything. But it never hurts to ask.

Yeah, I know you changed his design a bit (looks cool, too). But still... his original idea.

Again, he probably doesn't care but I think the right thing to do would be to ask him and make sure.

Take it for what it's worth.

Actually I have more than that but I did not count anything that is OEM stock like an Extra set of 15" wheels with tires and more spare 15" tires
plus
more extra 6UL 15x8 rims for back up.
My garage looks like a tirerack surplus overflow area.

And it looks like I may be getting another set of 16" wheels/tires.
