possible side stripes

It's different... the classical Greek "key" design is something I've not seen on a Mini. DO yopu plan to use the Greek flag as the roof graphic to match the theme?

Personally, I think the first "key" design is the best of the 3.

I like the 1st one, it looks good. No offense, but I do not care for #2 or #3 because they look like a bunch of life preservers strung together

Hmmm well out of the three id have to pick the first one.

However, even though it is different from anything I have seen before on a MINI i think it isn't quite what would be found on my mini. I would be more apt to put some solid stripes with some geometric cutouts (maybe like the lines on the M logo or something) on them before I would do that detailed of a pattern. I just think that your eye gets lost in a pattern with that much detail and it obscures the lines of the car.

How about this. Try stretching the pattern out a bit?

just a thought. Either way you will be turning heads and will have set your MINI apart from the rest so .

edit: I just thought of what I think is a good idea. It would be sweet to do a decal like that, that was a low detail version of the mini wings. IDK maybe im off of your original idea but when i think brg mini i get a traditional kind of feeling.

I like Prime's 'stretch' idea... to me the line looks to straight. I like the first pattern the best.

I love being just that little bit different, and remember you can always change it out later if you don't love it

I like the first one, but have you considered a Celtic Knot-patterned stripe? I think that would look sweet on BRG.

If out of the 3, I'd go with #1.
