It is the MINI Cooper S logos in carbon fiber.
Here is a pic before the stripe was added, and one after I added the stipes.
Hope you can see it.

very cool graphics. set's yours apart from the rest. always a good thing.

 

love the sticker! where'd you get it?!

 

Why doesn't anyone with white wheels paint their calipers white? It makes me kind of sad on the inside. :(

 

cuz they end up being "dirty" colored for all eternity

I painted my calipers white on my integra, and they looked horrible forever after the first two days. . .

 

Speaking of graphics. I asked Moster what I would have to go to remove their stripes if I decided I didn't like them. They said use a hair dryer, or just park in the sun! So, if my car is parked in the sun and some dufus palms my stripe, it will move???

 

sweet!
I second the question: where did you get the "not a toy" sticker? Very cool!

 

No, it is not really that easy to "move" them. However, that same dufus could start to peal them off if he wanted. It has to be pretty hot to get the glue nice and soft.

 

Love the side graphics. Very cool indeed.

 

Very cool and original!

 

Terrific job YOU-ifying your MINI. Very nice job

 

I made all the designs and graphics, the "Warning Not AToy", I accually got the idea from my brother but I designed the logo and cut the vinyl myself.
The roof graphic is made of a carbon fiber looking vinyl, it is fairly new to the market -- a bit pricey too.
I also have a clear bra on the whole front bumper and up the hood past the scoop and on the front 7" of the roof and again on the back bumper below the hatch. Of course I installed that too, 3 hours worth!
I am glad you liked it, it sure gets the looks now, oh by the way the numbers are all on magnetic sign material so the can be removed easily, and stored undr the front passanger floormats!

Boy 'O' Boy that looks great, now if you can only keep some fool from driving into the side of you, it has that 3D thing going on I like it .....

 

that looks really awesome i love how you did your own graphics to

but isnt it true that caliper paint can peel off from heat after a little while?

 

UP

 

Love the graphics too!
Id be willing to buy one of those "warning, not a toy" decal!

 

The caliper paint is warrantied against chipping for life I think, it is high heat up to 950 degrees, It is accually a two part paint, you have to mix epoxy into the paint and then you have only 4 hrs to work with it, it was the G2 paint system, ebay $36, they have ll colors,
It took about 1 1/2 hours to get the car up and all 4 wheels off and then the springs off the brakes then clean the calipers then paint 3 coats --- then wait a few hours to reinstall wheels and then 24 hours total to drive it. Not a bad Sunday!

 

be careful that someone doesn't T-bone you thinking thats a road on your side....

 

I'd like to have one of those too! Especially if it fits safely above the arc of the rear wiper.

PM me if you're willing to cut one out for me!

I couldn't take the "road" everytime I looked at my MINI, so I changed it, will post pic soon!! just the red slashes I removed all else is same, added a tapered MINI logo in Hyper Blue in the graphic... looks cool!

I "think" I have it done now, maybe all the tweaking is over!
What cha think fellow motorers?
Blake

 

Very nice, but personally, I liked the road better. It made more of a statement, and there are already MINI logos on the car. Just my $0.02.
