I've been contemplating on what I could do to add a little spice to my Pepper White/Black roof Cooper. This is my latest of ideas. What do you think?

Interesting.......looks good, especially if the interior is red and black ???........

Electrc109 · Jul 20th, 2002, 02:17 PM

I have ordered the red and black seat covers to go in my all black interior.

How about a NYC Taxi cheq style stipe down the side

well, considering the fact that I'm attempting to keep myself from being an attraction for the police, the side graphic almost eliminates the calmer look of pepper white, but here's a picture anyway...

I think I'm going crazy, but here's another...

smiffy · Jul 20th, 2002, 05:56 PM

How would it look with white on the roof & black on the doors instead of red

Electrc109 · Jul 20th, 2002, 06:11 PM

smiffy · Jul 20th, 2002, 06:14 PM

I guess they would look cool if they were the same shade as the car

Electrc109 · Jul 20th, 2002, 06:14 PM

and here

smiffy · Jul 20th, 2002, 06:17 PM

Well what do you think

Looks cool to me, maybe place them at the very bottom of the door

Electrc109 · Jul 20th, 2002, 06:19 PM

im quitting after this one....

Electrc109 · Jul 20th, 2002, 06:22 PM

i've just about exhausted my will to use 'paint' but i'll put them at the bottom of the door, lets try in black...

Electrc109 · Jul 20th, 2002, 06:26 PM

here we are, much rougher than the previous ones!!

Not sure about the roof checks - Looks like you've been run over by a Monster-truck

You could always finish it off by running the check down the bonnet and down the trunk-lid, which would make it flow more.

I do like the side-stripes though.... An especially good move would be to have this made of rubber blocks just a couple of millimeters thick - This would then double as a bump strip for all those nasty people in their MPVs whose children enjoy destroying my MINI's sides

(You'd have to mount them slightly higher up than in your last drawing of the black checks - more where the red checks are).

If you go for the red checks, you could always have them applied using a metallic/reflective finish.

That is the design I thought would make a good bonnet and tail stripe - just one on the drivers' side.

Electrc109 · Jul 23rd, 2002, 12:27 AM

I love the checker stripe idea, especially on a MINI.
5 days to decide!!!

on another note, boredom has triggered sillyness, but I think its a noteworthy idea...
