Like you said, if it doesn't have chrome, it's not a MINI

MMmmm.

Has Monsta patented his idea of extending the racing stripes above the bonnet?! Because if not I feel the urge to go back to my dealer right now and get the white sticky out.................

MitchyBoy

P.S. I am not copying you on the chrome, just have a similar fetish. Thinking of stripping all the paint off and chrome the whole thing!!

BrantV · Apr 22nd, 2002, 10:34 PM

Best stripes so far are, in no particular order. those of minikid, monsta and Phil Craddock.

All are much better than the standard stripes. The standards are just too close. They need to be moved out as far as possible, like monsta's.

I'll have to play around in Photoshop to see how something like minikid's stripes would look like in white on an EB Cooper S.

Not that yours are bad, but they just don't look right for me. Perhaps a black and white checkered would have kept the edge looking sharper. I also have a problem with stripes that terminate early and don't go to the edge.

Again it's just a personal preference, so cheer up.

MrCooper · Apr 23rd, 2002, 06:10 PM

If its any consolation, I like yours!

Its nice to have something a bit different. Actually of all the stripes on this thread the are none I don't like (!!!!)

Phil I like your take on the sides, any pictures of a red/white combo of those?

G8BAD_COOPER · Apr 24th, 2002, 05:51 AM

oh gee thanx guys, im glad you like to see something different, because thats not the half of it yet.....

Roof design and something else, but Im keeping my mouth shut until its done (As the actress said to the Bishop)

Im glad to see cars like Apple and others that try something different.... isnt that part of the reason of owning a MINI???

CUSTOMISATION AND PERSONALISATION

cmt · Apr 24th, 2002, 07:19 AM

just to add another version of stripes to this thread, here are mine...

again, NOT the official BMW ones.

Was that scarcastic? (I can never tell) cause I really do like your stripes!!!

I am dying to hear your plans for your roof - I still have no idea what Im getting on mine.

G8BAD_COOPER · Apr 25th, 2002, 06:46 AM

no it wasnt meant to be sarcastic....
im glad you like them

ive got a few ideas for the roof,and im keeping these secrete until its done, but I havnt decided which one to go with yet, Im aiming to have everything done by the end of June. Also looking into getting some white 17's aswell... carnt wait.

Personally i think you should come up with your own design, that way its unique

Morty · Apr 26th, 2002, 07:22 AM

Damn I really like those stripes from Minikid...

Great!

Any chance those would go on a silver one?
Or should I go for another color?

Suggestions are welcome...

G8BAD_COOPER · Apr 26th, 2002, 07:25 AM

why dont you use your conrtries flag colours, now that would look cool...

Morty · Apr 26th, 2002, 07:30 AM

mmmm ... I'm not such a big patriot I think ..

BUT ... you'd never know !!!

Let's take a picture of the car and try it out in Photoshop

Morty · Apr 26th, 2002, 08:09 AM

Nope ... really a Belgian Flag on my sweety is just HORRIBLE !!

I tested it with photoshop and it's really really discusting

RRRRRR ... no thanks

I think I'll stick with something like this (if I get it uploaded)
It's classic, I know.
The only problem is that I have to cut out the logo.
Maybe I'll have to change colour?

G8BAD_COOPER · Apr 26th, 2002, 08:13 AM

that looks good, havnt seen anyone else with them eighther....

Nikk · Apr 26th, 2002, 10:30 AM

That stripe looks really good
