BOLD to be different - Red/White Checkers
OK..these pix can be interesting or big laugh in Miniverse...but hey...it's my taste
and I don't want my MiNi to look like anyone's else.
Give me your honest opinions, I won't be offended.

I think it looks great!! It's always nice to see something a little different
than the normal black and white.

It's not my taste, but then again, it's not my car.

Thanks guys...It's only Vinyl...I'm sure within a year or two I'll change to something else. BUT now...It looks real cool if you stand next to it.
GotPho..I didn't hardwire yet but will soon when I find a spare USB cable and find the 12V supply. I do like the location of my GPS tho...nothing's in a way and good for lefty too :-) (I'm a fan of Pho).

Looks very good with the Italian tablecloth motif. I like it. Each time I see a CR/CR I like the one color look more and more.
Great job on the checkers and not being traditional.

That pull to minimize sticker looks like scotch tape, lose that or get it in better quality...
Not a fan of the side checkers, might look better on the mirrors...but then that is more typical.

Honest opinion? It looks way too busy. Checkers are best done in moderation IMO.

Thanks for all the opinions :-).
I wanted to be bold and different that's why I went this route.
The Navi is fine with lefty but I'm sure you can manage if you're a righty too. The best part is no drilling or glue, nothing was in the way.
