Finally got my pink bonnet stripes!

After taking my car to the MINI Mosaic day for charity, I finally plucked up the courage to book my car in to get some pink bonnet stripes and matching mirrors. I was so nervous when i went to collect it today! My mum isnt too fussed on it and I got a few funny looks as I was driving home, but i think i like it!
Here's a pic:

I wouldn't worry too much what people think.

It is your car and you've made it your own.

if you love it, thats all that matters. it's irrelevant what anyone else thinks - good for you being an individual - i don't think i've ever seen pink stripes on black before - enjoy

I had to get my caps resprayed coz they said they couldnt make vinyl for them. Im honestly not sure about your roof, but your dealer could probably tell you, or you could look in the phone book for places that do car graphics and check with them.

Thanks Claire at Bavarian said she saw it yesterday when it had just the stripes on, and she said the mirrors finish it off a bit more so im glad i got them done too.

Cant wait for my wee drive down to enniskillen tomorrow!

I like it

And like everyone is saying, it's not about what looks others give you, it's about your car putting a smile on your own face.

Agree that it needed the mirrors - not my personal choice of colour (ahem!) but looks really well.
