vinyl changes on the MINI

Just got the MINI updated a bit. It used to have the twin hood stripes and the checkered a-panels as shown in the pic.

yesterday got the windows tinted 30%. The stripes and checkers removed. Then we got the white checkered flag stripe installed on the bonnett and the boot. This weekend the aero grill will go in. Any suggestions on how I can fill the middle gap on the lower grill? I love the new look just need to either fill in one middle checker in the lower grill or remove the two checkers on the flat portion of the bumper.

By the way for all you Denver owners. Consider Jazz-it up on Havana for all your vinyl and tint work. Mark is great to work with, very accomodating of my schedule and very fairly priced.

That looks great! I think I would just remove the two squares from the lower bumper. If you kept them you would need a single square in the center of the lower grill and that might look odd.
You did a good job on this face lift.

Nice job looks good. I tried to take off the lower grill to paint it last weekend. I didn't complete the task after removing 4 screws as I determined it was more than I wanted to tackle at that moment.

good luck with what you decide.
