Ok due to my car being so long and plain im thinking of putting some flames down the side, orange car with black flames, just thought it would look a bit different and braek it up a bit.
Let the insults fly!!!!

pehaps get them done in vinal. that why if you don't like them or get board with then you can peel them off.

definitely a valid point there! You can buy rolls of vinyl from loads of places (look into 3M scotchcal for one example). You could just buy a couple of metres and go all 'Blue Peter' with sticky back plastic!

Pinstripes may break it up a little too. Personally I think it looks cool as it is, but that's just my opinion.

I think perhaps tinted windows would make a difference. I tried to tint them a little on the photoshop I did ^^^^^^ but I'm not very good on it.

cheers mini mad me the photoshop looks cool
Its definately going to be vinyl jobs so I can take them off if I dont like it.
Im not sure about the blacked out wndows I originally thought yeah definately but as im having the back boarded out with nothing on show im not sure. Nothing to hide and therefore why black them out, its still a possible maybe though.
These are the sort of flames I was thinking of and a really resonable price aswell, just the same as the black ones on the evo

dont know if I will get shouted out for putting the full link I dont know how to do the clicky type links

Cheers Simon

mini rhk thats the stuff
that looks wicked!!!!!!! I know it might be a bit chavvy but that really does look good.
That would really make it stand out.
Im going to put that on my backdrop as a point to aim for.
Cheers Simon (chuffed)

Yeah i was quite suprised, i didn't think it would look too good, the only flames id go for are ones where the whole front is black then into flames

at £19 cant go wrong

[Purtsi]

U got a great idea. Orange paint and black flames look absolutely beautiful together...

[PurpleDaisy]

'Tis your car & you can do what you want to it, who cares what anyone else thinks?!

I think it's a cool idea, orange & black do look good together, & anyhoo, no matter what car you have & what you do to it there's always going to be somebody who doesn't like it! (Although how anybody couldn't like a Mini is beyond me teehee!) MiniRHK's pic looks cool, go for it! & doon't forget to put some piccies up when it's done! Good luck!

[CharlieBrown]

Do it do it do it!!!

It will look awesome!!!!

[mini_dave]

Yeah think it would look cool. Plus it will be something different. Might aswell give it a go

[PhoenixSimon]

Im definately going to get it done but it wont be for a while, my stuff im getting chromed is going to be 12 weeks when I was told originally 3 weeks, ive got plenty to do before then anyway, tops of the doors needs painting and filling where the fibreglass has cracked so I need that doing before any flames anyway.
will put some pics up when its done though
cheers for all the mock ups and thoughts though
