Yellow caps....very interesting

 

Here are my likes, and dislikes:

Likes:
Nice de-chrome
good color
aero is always a +
yellow works good along w/ th epinstripes/ mirror covers

dislikes:
Skull and cross bones( We all know MINI drivers are badasses, but I will give it 2 weeks before it gets knicked.
nothing else

 

Nice job. now ditch the s lites, yer a little on the sick side huh?

 

Appreciate the feedback. I realize the yellow caps and x-bones are controversial and don't expect them to be liked by all. They do help set it apart from the clones, one way or the other . Yes the wheels, I want to change badly, but I have to lay low for the rest of 06.

 

Those yellow mirror caps and chrome skull are really gonna help u go unnoticed. Anyhow; it is definantly unique and for some reason i like it.

 

Did you paint the mirror caps yourself . And If so, what kind of paint did you use.
P.S. I like the look of the whole car

 

Yes, painted them myself, rattle can from Kragen auto store. Sand, prime, started off with a medium tone yellow but it was coming out too light (like the mini yellow) so I went and got another richer yellow, school bus yellow, but it was a tad too golden - but by that time I was getting tired of the running around so just went with it.
