I was thinking of getting stripes similar to the attached, instead of the standard \ / jobbies running down the bonnet.

I'm interested in peoples thoughts on how this will look on a Hyperthreaded Blue MCS with the Scottish flag roof and chrome mirrors.

Spec I am thinking of -
Hyperthreaded Blue MCS
White roof with Scottish Flag shoved on it
Chrome Pack
Front Grill Resprayed to match car
Interior Leather colour - Undecided.
Chilli Pack (Xenons, Tinting, 17" Alloys)
iPod kit

The car is Gazah's so he can talk you through it... maybe skip the white roof and go stripes over the top too?... kinda like KS_coopers... taht'd look tuff!! then you can choose any color stripes rather than just white...

Boot, I wanna haf a sottish flag on da roof!!

Apart from that, nice idea!

Personally, I reckon the OEM style bonnet stripes would look best with the St Andrew's cross. Maybe just do one solid stripe down the guts of the bonnet??? Boo and eltel should be able to look after any customisation requests thru their OziCozi business.

I'll find a good front on shot and top down shot of the mini (in HB), and harass someone who knows what they are doing with photoshop, do the whole cross o' st andrews on it, then start mucking about with stripes.

nice stripes on that BRG S there mallie!

personally, having just the bonnet done looked good, but it was certainly MUCH improved once o got the roof finished... so i can't say i'd be 100% with those racing stripes running up into a Scottish flag!

like you i'd wanna see a photoshop first!

more pics HERE!

ps. thread moved to the exterior forum where you should get a little more feedback!

I fitted the racing stripes to my ONE (1" 9" 1"). I went over the roof and around the spoiler too. Should look great on the bonnet with a flag though.

malliemcg · Jul 21st, 2004, 12:01 AM

onemini: you think I should go round down over the spoiler to the bum? or just the roof.

Im thinking white as my colour on Hyper Threading blue.

Yeah, def do the spoiler it looks cool. I didn't do the boot/trunk as I think it looks a bit busy. The spoiler is a good place to stop. White on blue will look cool. What size stripes are you going for? Mine and Gazah's are 1" 9" 1" (I spoke to him before getting mine done as I thought his looked the best).

Btw... like the roof Gazah

Can't wait to see your pics Mallie

thanks for the compliments jonathan!

i certainly think the 1" 9" 1" looks best, especially on the S as it fills the bonnet scoop nicely!

PM me your 'secret' too patrick!

I wouldn't know about that

malliemcg · Jul 21st, 2004, 10:17 AM

I'm getting an S

, w00t, now to survive till Feb ><.

I'm thinking the 1" 9" 1" as well to fill the scoop nicely, it does look mighty fine. Perhaps a trip to Sydney and visit Gazah ;p~, just to be sure
