As the title suggests, any Idea's would be greatly appreciated.

I have an astro black mini, I've posted up some pictures now that I've finally mastered the art of uploading pictures!

Basically I want to take the car down to MINI Pirate to have some vinyls done but the problem is I don't know what vinyls. I want something a little different, a bit crazy maybe with some loud colour's but I dont know quite what. If anyone has any suggestions, no matter how crazy or farfetched please let's hear them, also any pictures you may have would be awesome!!

Thanks in advance, Wisey.

Vinyls are such a personal thing... If you're unsure why not talk to Phil to see if he would like to "do as he pleases" with your blank canvas. He's got quite a bit of experience you know?

Good luck!

why not visit the tattooist as there are lots of ideas there then see if you can get that translated to your car!

Leave it as is. It looks awsome. Proper Night Rider! I wouldn't do a thing to that, i think you'll turn a good thing nasty, even with the best of vinyl's.

Just MPO but it looks S**T HOT as is!

Wisey it looks awesome I don't think you need anything tbh! But if you wanted something maybe an off set viper just on the roof in bright green or something,and then get the beltline down in the same colour!!

Ps I swear you had a one, is this still it

?? looks AWESOME now!!

Just make sure you don't leave the tattooist with a 'sample' across your forehead to give you an idea as to what a bonnet/roof decal would look like on the MINI.

All the best,
Andrew.

Cheers for the help guys! As for your question Rochie, i have a cooper and yep this is still it. I know alot of people don't agree with putting an S bonnet on a cooper etc... but i havn't badged it to be a cooper S or made any claim for it to be one, I just love the looks of the cooper S and unfortunately my insurers don't think its wise someone my age behind the wheel of one!

Honestly bud don't put any vinyl's on it, IMHO it would ruin it!! Less is more... Looks perfect!! Best looking MINI on this forum!! If i had the choice of any, it would be... this one!! Except THE best looking mini which you will find in this link below:

How old are you bud just out of interest? I'm starting to get to an age where i can afford to upgrade without it being ridiculously expensive!! And i'm having a big dilemma over what i want... Cooper S but not JCW or BMW 3 series coupe or AUDI A3 or A4, well i say cooper S but i would still have to wait till probably the start of next year/ summer before that but the other the insurance isn't TOO crazy on! but i love MINI, i also love the thought of a black 07 3 series on black rims! arghhhhhhhghghghg

Got to say I agree with turbs (this doesn't happen often!!!) - leave it as it is.

Make sure you get it lowered though - make it look even better!

Thanks for that picture rubberj00 i've always wanted to see a matt white mini because ive always wanted one, but after seeing that I honestly dont' think its that special. If we are gonna talk about the nicest mini I'm gonna have to go with this one. This thing is beautiful in every way!

Im 18 now, and trust get the Cooper S. My dad has one and under a company insurance I'm legally allowed to drive it, and it is a wonder! IMO the 3 series is boring, and I can only guess it drives the same too. The audi is nice but there is SO much you can do to a cooper S, its endless with possibilites, and i reckon its the cheapest to insure!

Help, you wonder why your insurance is so high. 18 in an "S" she's not got a clue.

The white one is beautiful man!! hahaa. Yeah i drove my mate's cooper S down his private road the other day, obviously i didn't get out of second gear but it was still sweet! They sound AMAZING! But i love the idea of just cruising around in a black 3 series like an old man would be sweet! I don't really like A3's though TBH, my favorite car ATM is S5 there unreal!! My best mate's dad just bought Cheryl Cole's R8... it's being shipped down to him next thursday, it has custom white interior i can't wait to be taken for a ride in that!!
But yeah i think 3 series was actually cheaper to get insured on than the cooper S, well a standard 3 series wouldn't be anywhere near as quick as an S but it's still a 3 series.
I've just turned 19 but i have 3 points which isn't nice to my insurance!! Got till January until i have all my 12 points so driving nice and slow ATM

.
Haven't seen an S that i like for sale yet that i could afford but if i did i know i'd probably give in!

lime green vipers shifted to the left with lime green side stripes would be eye catching i think it would look real good, and the tape around the edge of the alloys in lime green would finish it off but thats my opinion you might not like it dont listen to these narrow minded know it alls like eggman look at his car you can tell they dont have good taste get what you like and if others disagree dont let them put you off
