First try with Flames - had some issues with the backing material not coming off all the way in some sections, so these are temporary until I try again with a new set.





And on this side I had to trim a section out that I screwed up...witnessed by Mercury the Wonder Pug!

Yeah the flames are cool. I have a problem with sticking stuff to my car, but I have many friends that go vinyl nuts and they love it, so whatever makes you smile.

Primarily because the size of the R56 door in PW has always been the thing that bothers me the most about my car. Given the choice, I would rather break up that massive plain surface with some flames than have bonnet stripes. The hood is broken up by it's own elements (hoodscoop etc) but the door just looks too big. If it was darker (CR, AB?), then perhaps the wax/shine would allow it to have a stronger appeal but in PW, it lacks the liquidy glow I can get on the roof and is simply a boring blank canvas.

The real beauty of it is given the cost, I can easily rationalize changing it up every 3 to 6 months with something else. If you think these are bad...LOL wait 3 months.

I like 'em! Personality, individuality, and they kinda look like tattoos!

If it was paint, I'd be a little more nervous. Vinyl peels off and leaves no trace of badness!

Well done

Personally? I think Black wheels would look like a$$ on your MY-Mini. While no longer a huge Chrome fan, I'm thinking that would work though....give it some thought, Options are just crazy now-a-days.

Thanks for the feedback, but I'm not sure PW folks are allowed to chime in on this.

Actually, you got me thinking about the chrome thing.

Actually that crossed my mind, PW peeps have no right to tell others what and should not be impossing their opinons on MY owners.....my bad.

Chrome....hint....hint Although, yours looks real nice the way it is.

since I couldn't find the "what can you fit in your mini" I thought I'd put these up here
Over 100 beers, all bottles: classy ,60 lbs of Ice, and some wine. I prolly could have fit it all without folding the seats, minus the big red bin if I HAD to.
Party on Wayne
