Offline | To stripe, or not? Hey people currently in discussion with the vinyl master that is mini pirate about perhaps getting some kind of graphics on my car. I was wondering what other peoples opinions were. I have come from this cooper to the black s? Do you rekon leave it black or go for the brighter look like on my previous cooper? Cheers for your thoughts people |

Offline | Go for something different (if time and budget allow). Maybe some translucent design, some sort of graphics... As much as I like stripes, it always impresses me when I see MINIs with something 'different' on them, and I'm sure Mr.Pirate will be more than happy to offer feedback and advice too. Be unique! |

Offline | Nope, I wouldn't put graphics on it, it looks fantastic just like it is; you will need to be very careful not to spoil that wonderful all black look. The only too mods I would consider are: 1. Get those wheel arches colour keyed black. Yes, I know that sounds mad, but it looks fantastic when the arches are matching gloss black. 2. I've never been a fan of the tiny standard spots If you're going to have spots, have something a little more interesting.... |

Offline | Cheers for the cooments again guys . Colour coded arches did cross my mind, as did removing the spots from the front? I do like the chrome that the spots give at the front but it might look "meaner" without them? |
