Got my new "full" roof decal on last night (Had a pro install it). Had to order the Stars & Stripes from the UK - the decal the US dealers have is small and IMHO didn't look right.

Note the aftermarket Kosei K1 wheels and the Kumho ECSTA 215/45/17 tires

Paul · Jul 24th, 2002, 07:11 PM

Nice one, looks very cool.

Dom · Jul 24th, 2002, 07:14 PM

Looks great! Like the wheels too

Nice decal!

Do you by any chance have a side picture of your car so I can see those purty wheels of yours?

olddad · Jul 24th, 2002, 08:17 PM

Looks good . Is it a Carvogue??

What happened to Alaska, hehe.

Mine was shipped to me today. How long did it take to get here??

This is all I gave them and they used their equipment to make it in 2 days.

benggolf · Jul 24th, 2002, 08:47 PM

Nice and clean job!

Any option for sticking the Canadian flag too?

Benggolf, Carvogue said they have a pattern for about every flag in the world.

Surprised it is not available at the Canadien MINI dealers.

Yes it is a Carvouge - I like the look of yours as well

Alaska fell off in the twisties -
Carvouge shipped it UPS express on 7/17 I had it on 7/19 - That's to the right coast and not the left coast

I'm seriously considering getting in on your wheel purchase BTW

Carvouge has your flag as well

olddad · Jul 24th, 2002, 09:04 PM

That's two days across the pond to your house?? I was worried at first mine wouldn't get here in time for a Sept. delivery.

The part I like is how tiny the border is on yours...almost fills the roof like a paint job.

dpayne1;
Any chance you can do me a favor? I have Kosei wheels on my current car (not a MINI) and plan to get another set as soon as my MCS shows up. I wonder if you could measure the clearance you have between your wheel/tire and the strut, and also between the tire and fender lip? I'm planning to modify the car for autocrossing (not Stock classes) and am trying to figure out how much wheel and tire I can cram under the car. Any measurements you could supply would be greatly appreciated (probably by more than just myself) as the Koseis are great wheels and should be popular with racers. I'm also leaning towards a set of SPAX coilovers which will make things more complicated, but your clearances would sure help.

Great looking car, by the way

Thanks
Scott

Very, very nice!!!!! Great wheels!

Gary Tate · Jul 25th, 2002, 07:13 PM

Why only 49 stars? Last I heard we have 50 states
Blue in the field doesnt look correct either....more a shade of your car's color. Blue in the stars and streipes very dark blue....

Did you say you ordered it from England? hmmmm
Hope the Cooper S they are sending me is correct

LMB · Jul 25th, 2002, 07:26 PM

Well I think it looks ****ing brilliant.

olddad · Jul 26th, 2002, 01:28 AM

See above. I asked him and he said Alaska fell off in the twisties. Sounds right to me.

smiffy · Jul 26th, 2002, 03:25 AM

Looks good to me

Pecan Pie · Jul 26th, 2002, 03:41 AM

I agree looks awesome i have seen a square USA flag in UK and it doesn't look right, sorry about Alaska, but it does look awesome with rounded corners, actually looks like its designed just for the mini roof

COOPERation · Jul 26th, 2002, 10:23 AM

The flag that I'd like would probably cost a bloody fortune...for a sunroof no less.
