My MINI Graphics are finally complete!

Hi All -

Well, after about eight months of planning, designing, waiting and installing my new graphics are finally complete!

Thanks to Mike at Aesthetic Creations for his help and patience in getting me the final design I wanted!:impatient It is all installed! It took me two weeks because work kept getting in the way. I am really happy with the way it turned out and I thought that I would share some pictures with you.

Bonnet Stripe = A

Boot Stripe = A+

Headrest Bling = A +

Orange pinstripe around the wheels and down the lower side = D-



Overall Grade = A-

That MINI is surely an eye catcher !!

The pinstriping is Red to matche the Cooper S, not orange. It might be a D- for you, but it stays! Thanks for your comments!

Does this picture help at all on the lower red striping????

All the striping looks orange-ish on my computer. But red or orange, that part of your graphic isn't my cup of tea. But like I said, the rest is VERY NICE and the overall presentation is excellent.

And, of course it stays ! You want opinions, you get them. But yours is the one that counts.

The bonnet and boot looks really good and a testament to Mike at AC, but I'm not diggin the red pinstripe either just IMO. The fade from silver to checker is brilliant

Seriously, I can see where the heavier stripe on the side might be a little much. I was looking for something to jazz up the sides.

I DO appreciate all the comments! Mike was the only one that was willing to help me with the boot and bonnet. I got a lot of no quotes because of the complexity. He did a great job even though I my have pushed the envelope, but he seems pleased with them as well.

I too think the side striping is a bit much . . . but overall, a great car. The back looks great with those headrest graphics!

Very nice! The red pinstriping is not my cup of tea, but then, it's not my car!
Nicely designed and executed.

I like it, you like it and Mike should be pleased with this level of custom graphics. It sure sets a one of kind MINI.

Love it, I like the fading in the bonnet strips, I like it all. If you like the pin stripes, then that is all that counts.
