Looking for feedback

Im new to NAM, I posted this in First gear. Not as much feedback as I had hoped, that may be good or bad. Ya know if ya dont have any thing nice to say dont say anything at all. LOL. Well I can take it, so let me know. My MINI was backed in to by a dump truck, so I gave it a new look. I have plans for white rims, Looking for sugestions. Not afraid to paint them.


This mini also has a laundry list of engine mods.

I am all for making your Mini your own! Has that Audi/VW front look only opposite! I am a big fan of the contrasting white, I run white wheels as well, need to clean more often, but I really like the look. Have fun with it!

There is nothing that says you can not start another thread. I was helping by giving a suggestion and keeping it to the top. So just have some fun and motor on.

As you mention, I believe white rims will give it the finished look that it needs!

continue the white on the bottom lip there, make it look more like a mouth... thats just my 2 cents! oh, and maybe some sort of stripe up to the windshield there, to tie in the front to the cowl area...

I like the look!

My $0.02: keep the white scoop, A-panels, and the connecting piece across the bonnet where the upper air intakes are in lieu of adding stripes.

Like Astro said, maybe continue the white on the bottom lip. Or just do the grill surrounds in white.

White rims for sure!

Post some updated pics when possible! As another who's running a white accent scheme I'm anxious to see how yours turns out. So far, so good dude!

haha, ya I may paint the lower part of the bumper, still on the fence about it. Rims will come sometime this summer. I was trying to avoid adding striped to the car,don't get me wrong I think they look bad ***. I was just try to have a look like no one else. Also the car desperately needs to be lowered.

Maybe gold badges on the sides? Looks good, I like it. White wheels will add to the looks also.
