Skip the red stripes, but a nice solar red scoop cut out would accent the mirrors very nicely...

Sweet Ride!

Most clever of you to make the mirror caps SR.

I agree with CDMINI: You should make the bonnet scoop SR... It would be a most elegant addtion to the MINI. Classy and not overstated. The SR stripes would push it over the top, IMHO.

Good going amg6975! Now go out and play nice with the little guy and don't forget to be back in time for supper!

I think Solar red 'U' stripe ala the Brit Royal option and a Solar red scoop would look good on a young person's car ( not mine LOL )

Eh, there won't be any SR stripes... maybe some flat black ones but I doubt it. I think it looks just right (in the pic below.)

Got the following goodies on it in the past week:

Milltek Catback
JCW Intake
Koni FSD shocks
HSport Springs
HSport Competion rear sway bar
Wilwood 12.2" BBK
EBC Green Stuff rear pads
Team Dynamics Motorsports Pro Race 1.2 wheels
Stock Performance Run-Flat Tires
M7 Oil Catch Can

AMG, those wheels really make it one B.A. MINI! Excellent choice.
One thought (worth what you paid for it), Solar Red roof.
I've always been a fan of one-off color combos. My current favorite (to think about) is PW with Hot Orange roof and caps. Screaming creamsicle, baby!
