I love the way the silver scoop screems "LOOK AT ME!"

Well now you have went and done it. You gotta keep the wheels clean so everyone can check out the blue pearl.

The stripes and hood scoop look very cool. I like it!!! :smile:

I got a local sign shop to make the stripes for me.. I only paid 30 bucks for the stripes.. the material he used was like an etiched material.. it lets the color of the car shine through..
I got the BFP silver carbon fiber(no paint, real carbon fiber) to keep the silver look up front... with the chrome around the lights.. Plus i plan on putting the aero grille up front soon... i didnt want the dark carbon and the black grille to take away from the brightness of the car...

iam confused, wouldnt putting the dark aero grilles darken up the car?

or did you mean you didnt want to put the darker scoop to further darken the car, after you put the aero grilles?

i mean that i didnt want to put to much dark color up front... Because i like the brightness of the car... The silver fiber refracts sunlight very well.


Yes i will be at the R-Speed party... I will see you there!!!

The phantom stripes are really good. Unique. The Silver CF scoop provides accent but I wonder if the stripes and scoop could have been just a little closer in color tint? Maybe it is just the picture and lighting. Probably much nicer in person.
Great MINI!
