Is that bit where the front number plate is (between the top and bottom grilles) painted or a decal?

You need stripes on the bonnet and that is it.
Get rear windows tinted, and a body colured or carbon tailgate handle - chrome is so 1990s

Cheers mate
The suggestion is to have something know-one else has viper stripes are always nice but think of variations.
Pinstripe, Offset, Thick, Thin, Different colors these are all ways in changing stripes.
My Stripes are Matt Black an Beige, it is very important NEVER to use colors like
RED or even I've seen
Lime Green .
Don't use Too Modern colors stay traditional like Pepper White!
Hope this info helps

I voted 'other' Adam, something different & unique.
Was looking at the Mini Pirate site earlier, what about one of Phil's new roof decals?
I think its called the Grunge UJ, maybe Phil could do a Mono version? That would tie in with the White/Black of your car.
Just an idea for you

MCS .

Thanks for the suggestions guys! that UJ is pretty cool, may change the colours slightly!
another thought I had was to have an offset stripe (drivers side) in black on the bonnet, going onto the roof (PW) and have an offset zip unzipping the stripe.....
body colour boot handle has to be done aswell i think. need to get rid of some chrome!
