Any opinions on these?

I've always thought that the car needs a bit of "interest" on the sides, but not too much. I got inspired by Severine68's car in some other pictures on here, and found some John Cooper signatures on Ebay. They can do many colours, I got blue and silver, they arrived today, and as it was a nice 40+ degree day I washed the crud off and put some of the blue ones on.

Any opinions? If anything they might be a bit too subtle, I can barely see them if I'm more than a few steps away. Maybe the silver ones would be better?

Agreed. Tone on tone is good.

Just enough...great color, perfect size!

I have been thinking about either R59, or the word ROADSTER in the same location.

I like it, I like it!
