i got these flames yesterday on my cooper
but i want to hear what you people think of it
i think it's great

tip · Apr 16th, 2003, 08:17 PM

Very nice. I like how it is subtle.

Speedd · Apr 16th, 2003, 08:18 PM

mmmmm nice but can we get a closer look??

also whats the green stuff around the wheels/arches.. or is it my eye sight?

Dark Mini · Apr 16th, 2003, 08:20 PM

Yes mate looks good!!
And with there being so many minis on the rd and soon to be more I think to still have some of that individuality you need to do bits to your mini, and those flames certainly are individual!

minilover · Apr 16th, 2003, 08:25 PM

its no green stuff
its damaged plastic and dirt
my wheels are a little bit to wide they stick out the arches and the trow al the dirt and stones at the plastic and after using plasti shine the become a little green
and that is not funny its terrible

Speedd · Apr 16th, 2003, 08:29 PM

Cheers

Subtle and nice

GordonD · Apr 16th, 2003, 08:31 PM

Love it. The 'flat' on gloss is a great idea that i was saving for my next MCS

TheBlackKnight · Apr 16th, 2003, 08:37 PM

Would go for something a little more outrageous myself but your car looks great with those flames on - nice touch.

SemiImbecille · Apr 16th, 2003, 10:53 PM

Since you're asking for opinions, I think it looks like crap and is one of the worst flame jobs I've ever seen.

But you like it, and that's what really matters

I think we have a forgery here. Have a look at the door seam blown up:

forgery or not I think it looks like burned rice - embarrassing.

One of my traits is that I'm brutally honest -- so much so that many people can't tolerate me

Ask for my opinion, be prepared to get it

I expect no less from my friends, and they usually oblige!

minilover · Apr 17th, 2003, 03:39 AM

yes scollins you are right this is a photoshopped one
but they are gonna fit it in about two weeks
i hope it is gonna look great

6f7 · Apr 17th, 2003, 04:33 AM

Now here are some REAL flames:

And one Pshopped:

Deuce Coop · Apr 17th, 2003, 03:30 PM

Don't know if I'd call those flames, looks more like a tribal design to me.

Those last picks of the flames on the EB/W look ok, but I have never been one for the look of the Valspar- House of Kolor color changing paint, looks too much like an oil spill IMHO.

But WOW that Black/White looks spot on, those flames are HOT (pun intended). Looks like they came right off a 50's Merc.

LOUD little MINI · Apr 17th, 2003, 10:54 PM

I think they look wicked not really my cup o' tea flames but they look great mate nice idea mat on as well
