I finally did it! I kinda messed up the right hand side and eventually would like to redo it, but as you can see from the pics....it's not noticeable. I love it! Thanks so much to Nobull for the pictorial and everything.... I ordered the film from Lamin-X and it worked great!

Of course, dear.
Hopefully my shadow stripes will be installed this week.
I am getting new wheels at the end of the summer, doing my suspension and new exhaust.
That is what is on the list for the end of this year/beginning of next.

More to come later.

Very nice! If I had the same color car as you, I think I'd be all over this! I can't see it looking good on red/white, though... Nice job.

Thanks so much, you guys! I am so excited about it! Even the smallest mods almost make it feel like you are driving a brand new car.

I can't wait to get the stripes on there...I think today I will make an appointment to have them installed. My MINI's gonna look MEAN when I'm done!

Maybe you should spend less money on the mods and get an Ab-Abber 2000 instead. They'll be all up ons!

very cool. I've been in touch with Matt from cooperflags, and he's trying to find me a pic of the Viper stripes on the MINI. Can't wait to get those.

he sent me this link of pics, check it out.

As of right now....it's these wheels.


But that could change.
I'm thinking of going with something darker.

Don't worry about messing up one side. I put on a Cooper Flags sunroof sticker and while I got some spots that aren't perfect I take great pride in the fact that I did it by myself. I'll do better on the next application, that's how you learn.

Tint looks sharp!
