I think that with the contrasting stripes, you've gotta consider white rims! Can you whip that up for us? TIA!

Cheers!

No, I can't whip it. But I am thinking about doing this with IB/W and white V-spokes.

Whip it good! ops:

I agree. I like the looks.

How about alternating red/white spokes?

I like the side and hood but wouldn't do the roof. it's too busy. I have red and white with white wheels so, of course, I have to agree that you need white wheels, too :smile:

Personally I would try to come up with something different as this is what Paul over at MINI2 I believe is planning on doing to his car...I'd try to come up with something that is unique to your car....that being said I do like the design...but for me....it isn't quite over the top enough...my car will be getting a full treatment in October and when it does I'll post some pics...though I know most of you will think it is too far over the top Which to me means it is about right

I was showing my wife through the Cooperflags site over the weekend and saw that pic. We both said "Wow! Cool!" at the same time. I think that look great.

I think that looks SOOOOOO fun, haha, it really looks nice, I like the way the strip goes through the whole front of the car. The only thing I would change is the size of the MINI2.COM text, I would make it a little smaller, but other than that, I like the idea

But you just HAVE to get white wheels, YOU HAVE TO!

It looks like a giant Tylenol gel cap... but in a good way.

Ah, many opinions! Bueno!

I'm thinking about eventually doing this with a white stripe over IB/W, with white v-spokes. I'm all about white wheels! :smile:

I'm not going to do the side stripe, just the boot, bonnet and roof.

I'm also considering doing the design with a sunroof, and getting a custom cooper flags sunroof decal so the pattern doesn't get broken up.

And, and Aero Grille. ops:

I really like it, except for the mini2.com part. I don't dislike mini2; I just tend to dislike decals with words, especially websites.

Would look even better if the stripes were on the spoiler as well!

I totally agree.

There will probably be some decisions to make about where to end in front and back. I'm thinking about just going from the top of the grille ato the windshield in front, and leaving out the front bumper. Not sure about the back, though.

I hadn't even thought about the spoiler!
