I dig it, too. I like the subdued appearance.

Interested in the cost of wrapping a MINI? I have an R53 and had a small fight with a Jersey barrier and I lost! Have some scrapes and such...

I'm thinking flat black...

Nice rig shot. I'm loving the OD green. I need to find time/motivation to break out my rig on my new Mini (if anyone is interested in some amazing rig shots check out a Flickr user named VisualEchos. Andrew does some truly epic shots of his Lotus).

Our pice for wrapping a mini is around $2,000-2500 all inclusive depending on year/ model. Please check around for other shops rates as you will find ours to be around $1000 less than competitors. Flat black is a great color and to be honest I don't think Ive ever seen a matte black one. Vinyl covers up scrapes and scratches pretty well as its a thick material. As long as there isn't a really deep scratch, it should cover it up pretty nicely.

I actually did a write up on how I did this shot if anyone is interested. It shows the step by step process and what I changed/ removed.

Here is a pic with the rig on the car. I can't remember what brand the suction cups were but we had two very large cups on the roof and a metal boom about 8-10 feet long. :
