That blessed day finally arrived (again)! I retrieved my new MINI yesterday and spent this AM detail and decal ing it. My wife is threatening divorce over the deals (hmmm...decisions decisions

)(I'd never find another enthusiast like her I 'm afraid.)

I don't like the decals, but its YOUR opinion that counts. I'm not sure, but are "Esso" and "Castrol" and tires Goodyear vs. stock Contenentals competitors? I do like that cooper crest (the one above "s" on back). Its totally your call.

Maybe do something magnetic.

The "retro" trademark decals are static cling

so they come right off and can be reapplied (haven't tested them at speed as yet. The car does have Goodyear Eagles on it as well as Castrol motor oil. I have no idea what type spark plugs but who would ever know

I think I will keep them on until I get some really bad comments or until the personalized plate comes. (are the shocks Koni's? or maybe Bilsteins??)

Go with the wife...dump the decals and keep her.

Ok,Ok...I know when I'm beat! Now pretty much everyone has thrashed my poor retro stickers. I'd have thought at least some of the other "old" guys would appreciate the nostalgia. Off they come (to return only in the dark of night)

NO. Unless they're paying part of your payments.

I like very much the John Cooper Signatures under the side repeaters... where did you get them ?...

Harry Morant · #15 (**permalink**) Apr 17th, 2003, 07:17 PM

I like the colour and black stripes. I'll go with the flow re the decals.
