Ok, I'm a bit sketchy on the details of this, and I've no pics, but I wanted to do something different to my MINI, without being OTT. Someone I know suggested getting a few small "ghost stars" sprayed on the sides on just infront of my back wheel arches. Although Ive done loads of searches on the net to find em and I can't but apparently it's just a kind of frosted or matt silver so it wouldn't be too noticeable, but I'd be afraid it would just look like dirt, and the reason I don't want to to go over board is because I wanna get the converatble in the next two years and don't want to devalue the car, I'm so afraid of doing anything irreversable. Was wondering what anyone thought, or if anyones done anything similar?

Try a design in vinyls.

You can take them off when you sell it by using a hairdrier.

Use vinyl stickers, like they do for the roof graphics. They're cheap, easy to apply and also removable for when it's time to sell your car.

The idea sounds great, and it's nice to customise your car a bit. Go for it, at the end of the day if you don't like the look, just peel them off

Is there not a chance that vinyl stickers can pull the paint off though? Thanks! That sounds like a far better idea

Nah, not if you're carefull

Sounds like a nice idea and I am sure it will go great with the pure silver.

Vinyl is definitely the way to go Louise I'd say...........try a local graphics guy?
