Right now its Java Green, but down the line I'm thinking on going with a Honalulu Blue with White and Silver Accents. Much like a Detroit Lions Jersey.
Here's a few Picks of it now. Hpwever the green is kinda growing on me.

Is your mini Black, can't really tell with the sun glare. If so what about a blackjack on the roof. (A union jack in metalic black, metalic grey and metalic silver) with meatlic sliver stripes and a grey metalic pinstripe on either side of the silver. just an idea.

yeh sorry mate it does look black doesnt it. Its racing green I have been thinking about roof design but i have heard they can trap water dont know how true that is ?

I have my eye on a black cooper at the moment, complete with stripes etc. It has black bumpers, black headlights rings, everything, but a white roof.

I'm thinking get rid of the stripes, and swap the wheels for my lovely looking white alloys, which with the white roof should work perfectly. Some of the black detailing will probably be replaced with stainless steel. I'm also thinking of the blackjack idea that TA2DMAC suggested.

But my vote is no stripes.

lovely mini mate !

Had a similar dilema!

I liked the clean look of my mini after a front end respray:



But i couldnt help think it looked a bit plain! I did have leather straps on before, so i re-fitted these. Maybe some thing to think about!

[spiteri87]

this is defo a thing ive thought about just been worried about how you fit them ? they look really good though !!

[minisilverbullet]

Mine are just fitted to the bonnet actually! so serve no purpose other than aesthetics. Drill some holes then self tapers or as i did some small nuts and bolts.

You could do it properly and fit them so they do actually do what they are meant for, i couldn't help thinking they would stretch. they would also be a pain to unbuckle etc!

[spiteri87]

do you have to be carefull of rust though if your drilling holes or am i being paranoid ?

Not really! Tiny holes! you could give them a touch of paint or even a touch of your favorite nail polish!
