Thanks! I bought the stripes from Mighty Stripes, but the installation got botched and new 3M was made. It does go over the spoiler (very tough to position) and down the bonnet.

The driving lights are not OEM. Those are expensive and I didn't like that they have to work with the brights. I really wanted them to work independently.

I ordered from http://www.vipcustomparts.com/minicooperparts.htm
The main guy, Van, is awesome. Very helpful.

I will post more pictures soon. There's more custom decals on the side. It's just so damn cold out...

A twilight shot taken after an attempt of my roommate and I at washing her in weather 10 degrees below freezing. Look closely and you can see a bit of water on the side that froze before we could dry it -_-

Rio de Janerio, Brazil. We get 5 weeks off for Christmas, so I spent my break there. Other side of the equator so it's summer. Was exactly 100 the day I left, and exactly 12 here in PA the day I arrived back... Hottest day there was just over 102 104+ is common in February.

I was just going to ask you if you were going to do that. I need to switch mine from piano black to flat black. These fingerprints are killing me.

LOL - Yeah, gloss black shows EVERYTHING!! Satin black would look awesome, and it would not show fingerprints. I'll most likely wrap mine in satin black as well when I get it.
