Good.
Anytime you do cosmetic mods, it becomes a matter of opinion. My opinion is, it looks like you are having fun with your MINI and that is all that matters. Sometimes when I see the, all too frequent in these parts, bone stock MINI's I wonder if the owners are missing out on the point.
These aren't economy cars; they are fun cars. And if an owner is having fun with the speed of the S or the handling or the youification (or any combination), you should have saved some money and bought a Toyota. Your car looks like you are having a lot of fun. Enjoy.

Cool !!

Love what you did with the mirror caps and how they match the racing numbers.

Yep, what jdh, the attorney, said. Have FUN with the mods on your MINI. That goes for the rest of you out there.

Looks very nice. Not my personal taste but it does look good and what matters is if you like it.

minipirate.com is very cheep...

I got from there the boot, the roof decals and the window (mintex).
Everything else was made from fotos to my "neibourhood" sticker shop.

Total price of whole car was about 240 euros or $300

I like the checkers on the back. I've never seen that before.

Very nice!
I like how the mirror caps tie into the general theme of the graphics.
My MINI is plain and will most likely stay that way but I love to see what others have done for mods.

It won't get mixed up with my MINI in the parking lot, but I like what you have done. It will be a MINI people will talk about after seeing it. It shows thought and planning. NICE JOB!
