I am near the stadium on the west side and I seriously doubt if you have seen me in my car in scottsdale. Its possible you have seen it before though since the guy I purchased it was local to arizona but it looked a lot different then.

Oh and thanks. I have seen a few mini's in Arizona but I honestly can say I have not seen a pepper white one here with that stripe kit on it. That to me is a good thing.

You are right (of course) the other a MINI had the stripes spaced farther apart like the majority of MINIs. I am wanting to do your stripes in flat black on my car even over the top of the roof so you might notice them if you look close. Or possibly red over the roof. Did you stripe it or have someone do it? Where did you get your stripes if you changed it from the previous owner? Seeing your car just made up my mind that that is what I want on mine.

These guys are amazing at what they do...I will be straight with you on cost...$300.00 Steep but it is done right. The kit itself is fairly cheap.

Fourth kit down. Oh and they do sell them in red for your roof. That would look awesome on your car.

Have you thought of color coding the headlight rings & Joey-modding the heads & tails to fully de-chrome?
