BBS RSII 17x7 35et. Unfortunately, they're extremely rare to find at this bolt pattern and size as BBS doesn't make them anymore. I jumped at the opportunity to buy this one as soon as I saw it for sale as I knew I wouldn't find another one pop up for some time - months or even years.

Trying out the off-centered look. Had it straight down but I dig the way the Laurel edition looked with it curving with the lines of the hood. Not quite sure how I feel about it yet.

LOVE the stripes, are they standard width and spacing? They look a bit wider than the 8" you can get from the dealer.

Like your headlight treatment, the chrome rings with the black hd lites make the headlights seem smaller than mine with the red rings. Cost would be pretty high to convert though

Thanks. My pic seems to disappear when I check it out. Not sure if it's a bug.

Here's Mine:








They change from black to silver, depending on the angle the light hits 'em. In between, they go through a spectrum of golden brown and gold. Sometimes they're about invisible....

The stripes when I first bought my MINI:


After the 1st month of ownership I switched to matte black stripes.
Then today I added a little flare:

Does anyone have the dimensions of these factory stripes? Overall width and pinstipe width? Are these two layers, black on white, or actually 6 different pieces? Also, are these (and others) straight before they are applied and curve due to the bonnet shape or are cut with a slight curve?

Thanks!

These are one set of stripes that have both colors on them and are applied together. Most factory mini stripes I have seen have a different color small stripe.

I recently put stripes on my car and the stripe is angle at the rear/top of hood so it tapers in as it reaches the front of the hood.

Look on this site for examples of stripes

www.minimotoringgraphics.com

This is where I got my top wrap but I order my hood stripes from another company. there are many sites that do stripes.
