Chime in!

If you felt, like I did, that the only way to get a mini is with a checkered top. Post a photo here. Let's see all the variations on the theme, let's see those checkered bonnet stripes too.

Mine is painted on because I believe in commitment. Here it is:

Here's mine:
Unfortunately this design was one of the targets of MINIUSA/BMWNA in their recent clamp-down on the independent dealers. Apparently they decided they had a trademark issue with a red letter S .

Matt only made two of these before they shut him down. The other is a full-roof version that is in the Austin TX area.

These are awesome, and I never even thought of Pepper White with checkers.

I know there are a lot more out there so keep them coming!

Don't quite know how to post the pics but I saw a white with white and silver checker. Very subtle. Both were pearlescent.

Xanthus,

I love those checkered bonnet stripes. Where did you get them? I have a LY/W coming in a week and I am getting a black and white checkered roof and would love the stripes to match. I have found some similar ones from Cooperflags? but I'm not sure if I like the border on their's or not.

I'll post some picures here after I pick the car up.

I absolutely love all these pics! I plan on buying a mini next spring. I would love to have a yellow or red with the checkered top and black racing stripes. I really have my heart set on a yellow one though. I just need to find a dealer in my area now.

pepper white with checks here

am from ohio and have the checkered flag roof, checkered mirror covers, even checkered valve stem caps. My kids wanted it and i was not sure, but now i love it. If you are flying beneath the radar, avoid it, because it DOES attract attention. Attached a pic of the car. These cars are supposed to be fun and this screams fun to me.
