R50/53 A MINI hood in a MINI?!?
I like the look of leaving the CF peaking through as stripes like 2per did. Not sure how it would look on your car though with the white roof. Would tie in good with the grills and orciari light cluster though.
If no on the stripes, I would definitely say just paint it orange, that orange is nice.

yea, the only issue is the white roof. without the roof, CF stipes ALL THE WAY. but i did some photoshopping and...just doesnt do it with the white roof. i could paint the roof...or entirely paint the hood...

You def need to paint the hood. The CF is too overpowering against that bright orange. If your car was DS or a blue, maybe.
Anyway, I would try to leave the CF stripes. I think it would look amazing. CF in moderation looks awesome.
I really dont think the white roof would clash with the CF, but if you do decide in the future to paint it, that would always be easy to do. Dont go black...I dont think the "halloween" look would be too cool.
See if you can get a faux CF, or even just paint it a dark charcoal grey color to match.
Either way, it's gonna look sweet.

I say paint it a solid to match your body color, but have them do it very thin like the Enzo so you can still see the weave through the paint when up close. But for practiacality may want to do some extra clear coat.

This means I would need to use hood pins to keep it down. anyone know where I could find these? I put my old hood back on for the time being. I do like the look, I just have no pins for it yet. I figure by summer, I'll have clips for it and all.
Whatcha think?
