: Standard with a difference......

Hey,

I own a grey R56 Cooper S complete with JCW aerokit and 17in flame alloys.

I wish to keep the car rather standard looking but with a few custom touches to seperate it from the crowds.

As lime green is my favourite colour I got busy on photoshop with callipers, side scuttles, back lettering and custom centre caps based on my initial/fav number. I also photoshop'ed the 3 back windows to tint them.

I was wondering what people think of the look and if they think I should go ahead with the alterations.

Any suggestions/opinions welcomed :D

Ohh that's clean. I love the rear bumper.

Can you bake the tail lights on a mini? If so, I would paint the chrome in them to match your paint. It would unify them with your lights in the bumper better. ;)

I don't think the green and grey go together :( but if that's what you like go for it

I like it. It doesn't not go with dark silver. Go for it. Without doing the whole modification thing, you're putting your own little stamp on it which is subtle and not over the top. As long as the standard of the work looks professionally done.
