Hi All.

Finally talked the girlfriend into getting a MCSC in dark silver.

We fancied some bonnet stripes but now she's seen the V stripes on the new Copper S Checkmate and wants those in black? The dealer can't do it so was just wondering if anyone could recommend a good mini graphics outfit in the northwest who could knock them up.

I'm not bothered about the bonnet scoop cos I work in the motor trade and can get that sprayed black no problem, It's just the V thats the hard bit.

Think she's just trying to be different, or difficult. I don't know which!

Thanks

Chris Fliptop

Ps. just in-case your wondering what I'm on about, see the attached photo.

If you don't mind driving to Preston (can meet up with the North West crew

), I can point you in the right direction. The guy hates doing anything normal, and loves a challenge...

...my car is a good example, first picture is a photoshop of CooperID's car, I gave this to the guy to work off. Second and third picture is my actual car

Everything is either white Vinyl, or Black Paintwork

He also did this for me...

...all in all very reasonable for £80

Not really a fan of the Checkmate graphics, but they should look great in black on a DS car.

Thanks for the feedback Damo.

Your Mini looks sweet

No problems with going over to preston. It's only just down the road from me. Sounds like the guy you know is pretty good. I'm off on holiday tomorrow for a couple of weeks, and we only actually take delivery in October, so I'll drop you a mail when I'm back.

Cheers again for the help

Chris

I am going to get that graphic done in black on my chilli red S, looking for someone to do it in the Glos area.
