marks out of 10 for my latest mod

I am sure you wil all agree the latest edition to my mcs (the white cheques), which has been painstakingly fitted is only just short of an orgasm in terms of the aesthetic pleasure it gives the beholder.

please advise me on how much you agree by giving a mark out of 10 for how cool it looks and ome comments if you have tim and energy.

Negative feedback is welcomed too
for those of you who don't have a clue!

regards, and long live mini2,

scott gill.


p.s. if you think your mini looks better then attach a picture and let me have a butchers.

I'll go ten. Where did you get them and how much? I am so tempted to do this to my CR & W MCS.

what would you do

what would you do put cr cheques on? i think that would look pretty cool.

i got the graphics from idelgear. they are the large cheque that go right to the edge (you have to specifiy this)

if anyone decides to go with the large cheques that go right to the edge of the roof (instead of a couple of inches away from it) please feel free to pm for advice on fitting as it is not that easy without the correct usage of hairdryer or heat gun and a lot of patience. maybe i could allow someone else to learn from my mistakes.

thanks to everyone who has replied so far and please do not feel you have to be nice anyone. i welcome criticism and true opinions

Definitely a 10. I'll be installing the checks on my Electric Blue MCS right after I get it next month. I like the fact your checks go out to the edge. They look added on as an after thought when they stop an inch from the edge. Where did you get your checks? I've thought about having mine painted on and clear coated. Shiny and smooth!

8. The cheques only look good on B/W MC's to me. Sorry.

Mmm not sure
I do worry that there seem to be a lot og grey and black S's around. Had thought of the zebra stripes but not sure about that either. I suppose you can always remove it later.

it is grey all over

it does not have a black roof. If you look carefully the roof is grey (along with the Wing mirrors. That is why i am showing it off. I am not sure it had been done before.

It looks good. I like the dark grey and find it reasonably practical in not looking too dirty. If it were'nt for practicality I would have been tempted by all black.

Here is mine!

I did this the first weekend I had the car and I have no regrets. I got the vinyl from a sign shop and had them cut 9" squares. Laid out the roof and with a lot of soap and water and 2 hours later. Presto!!! By the way this is with a sunroof which the dealer said I could not have both.
