Thinking of getting some stuff changed!

- de-striping the car entirely
- black out hood scoop
- black out side scuttles /door handles/fuel cap



what do you guys think?

I am with you on removing the stripes. Makes for a much cleaner looking MINI. stripes clutter the look of the car in my opinion.

to each their own, took mine off, it was easy.

Here's mine. Love the Spice Orange color more everyday, but man, is this a hard color to photograph with any accuracy!

Please post pictures of your R56 here...-stripes-angle-2-800x533-.jpg

Who did your stripes ?
They look great. not many shops/people carry them all the way through.

@N1tr0 - It was a local guy here is So Cal. He mostly does full wraps and advertising wraps on trucks. He didn't bat an eye about going all the way down the bumpers and only charged me $250 including wrapping all four headlight/tail light trim pieces. I was very happy with that.

Stripes removed

Hi guys, just an update! I had my stripes removed actually and blacked out some other stuff, including tinted headlights.

Heres how it looks like now!

Sterling's first snow! The wheels are dirty from a 40-mi drive. Looks better when in high-res.


And I just got my new plates! :-)

Thanks, Xmas! You should post some pics of yours!

And in other news, Christmas has been my nickname my entire life... That's not yours too, is it?
