First Shots I took of my MINI- Fair amount of Pics!!!

I have been meaning to go out and do some real photography with my MINI, but I just havn't had that much time lately. But soon I will. These are just some shots of the MINI (Rubics) from a few sides. I liked the yellow with the checker because of the fun-ness. I felt that it helped give a little better contrast with the yellow, (I work as a graphic designer so contrast is a must.) Well Enjoy...

Very nice Pics!

Thanks for the nice pics of your MINI.

Very clean and sharp look.

Don't print the words TAXI anywhere on your MINI.

How about a checkerboard side stripe/wedge?

Gonna add anything else?

Iam thinking about adding a few things inside, don't know about outside yet. Oh NO, never would I put the words taxi on it, though I do get the comment once and a while, thanks for the feedback.! If I get more into Rally's and races I may do something else on the outside.

Oh, and I wash her about every two weeks. Full wash and wheele wash. I like it clean, I really hate the brake dust built up on the front wheels, and on the bottom of the fronts of the doors. MUST...WASH!

Very nice, Checkerboy! Why not get the checkered mirror caps? They'd look great on your baby!

Hey, you could make believe.

I'm thinking you could fool people. Esp in NYC but you might get some bad looks from other taxis and a ticket for not having a taxi license from the police.

Put a vinyl graphic on your doors and bonnet-

"Checkerboy Taxi #87"

I think it might look pretty cool.
Put in a little meter that is really an mp3 player.

It's an absurd idea because the MINI has only 2 doors.
The passenger would have to sit in the front seat.

You might want to consider some tinting for the glass, it did wonders for my "Pepper".... a real sharp look esp. with lighter colors like we have...contrast!
