F60: Melting Silver- Stripe/Vinyl Ideas

Hey there,

I'm hoping to add some fun and character to my Countryman (F60). It's currently Melting Silver and it has the Black Headlight and Tail Light Rings but no further modifications. What I want to do, is to add some ORANGE into the mix. I wish I could just wrap the entire car but I cannot afford that. So, given the color, any ideas on how to add some orange without making it too gaudy? I was thinking maybe a Single Wide Black Stripe from front to back with Orange pinstriping or thin stripes on the sides but I am just not sure how that would look given the colors. I also considered making the side skirt and lower panels on the front and back orange plus the mirrors but it just seems like too much. Pictures would be amazing! These are some other ideas I've experimented with but not sold on any of them. Would doing the belt line, handles, grill, and the Headlight/Tail light surrounds in orange be good? I don't know how to photoshop or anywhere to get a template so this is the best I have got. PLEASE toss out some ideas! Thanks.

I think that Melting Silver is very nice color.

In looking at your edited pics, I think you already accounted for this, but I'll mention that a lot of people feel that red and orange clash. So, re-paint your "S" emblem to be orange too.

In searching around, I did find this: https://www.superbgraphicsllc.com/Mi...ipes-p/646.htm

Blue might be another choice. There was a special edition, if memory serves me, with stripes along those lines. I found this, and think it is pretty close, if not actually one of those special editions: https://autuko.com/wp-content/galler...pe-Wrap_15.jpg
