yeah, apparently i'm not that high-tech, but i am overly OCD enough that it looks pretty good to everyone that's seen it.

unfortunately i think the rine-stones would take away from that factory look. but if you like it...

ps ~ not sure if i mentioned it but i got my letters from outmotoring as well...

Oh God! The rhinestones would make it look blingy (not to mention tacky). If owners put that on, then they might as well spell out IMACHAV!!

I dunno, I think it depends on the MINI -- and the driver. A few weeks ago I saw a Purple Haze cabrio with a great set of wheels and rhinestone "MINI" lettering above the side scuttles. I'll admit that my initial reaction to the latter was . I waited a few minutes in my Clubman (nascent stalking behavior, I know), and the driver turned up. She was a riot to talk to. I said something about the lettering, and she laughed. It was just for fun! And then it all made sense -- this MINI really fit her. Why can't a gal have fun dressing up her MINI?
