Opinions on my graphic?

Hi,

I'm just curious as to what you think of the graphics I've put on my Mini. Honesty is appreciated.

It looks good the way it comes of the front area.

At first I was going to ask what tribe are you with.

I like it, but feel it should have something linking the two parts together. Looks good

Oh wow! I totally love it! The only thing I can think of is maybe bringing out that accent color on another part of the car to bring the color "full circle" I guess you would say. But I love it! Totally unique!

Good colors but I would ditch the big piece on the back and leave the little splash on the front.

Looks really good, but I agree with both Hemiheaded and mpdwag, (even though they said the opposite thing).

I think you either need less (keep the front, ditch the back), or you need to go bigger to establish a flow from the front of the car to the back. Right now, it just sort of looks like two lonely pieces waiting for the rest to be applied.

Looks good but I feel the piece on the back is almost on backward (if you know what I mean). The way it's positioned now it disrupts the flow of the car. If you, somehow, turned that back one around it would look better. It probably wouldn't fit that way and would need to be redesigned. Just my $.02,

I'd like to see how it looks by the rear wrap-around.

3D

yeah, the one on my gallery is a urethane compound idea I was toying with.

Thank you all for your inputs!

Try sticking the rear part on the oposite sides coming out of the repeater.

Doesn't do much for me. Agree that the two need to link up somehow or ditch the rear piece. Does this match a tatoo somewhere? One across the back like Sally from the "Cars" movie comes to mind.

It would be good to have some more red accents on the car to tie it in. Otherwise, it should have just been black and silver.

Perhaps red "attack" rims on the wheels, and centercaps like this:



A Celtic roundel in the door might help tie the two pieces together, as others have suggested.

Makes me think of Clooney in From Dusk to Dawn.

Thanks for the continued inputs

thanks for the feedback, people. It's something I've created. I'm trying to twist the spirit of my Mini with a nostalgic flare, yet adding some masculinity to it. Didn't want too much of a tribal effect, though some of you are linking its look to tribal design references. I was intending more art nouveau with a more simplified attitude to match the car's curves.
