No one has said anything negative about mine, but then that might be my charming demeanour ;D

It's not a tattoo, dude. Here's an idea, set the photoshop pic as your desktop so that every day for a week when you turn the pc on it's there. If after a week you aren't sure, don't stick it to your car.

Once it's in place and you run a bead of silicone around the edge it looks all one piece unless you stick your nose up against it.

Here's a closer pic of the edge, I've since added another bead of silicone to give a uniform finish giving no break between seal and louvre.

and i dont want it to be one of those 'thats a lush mini, but its ruined by that thing on the back'

That's what I'm thinking to be honest dude

But then it's your car, if you think it looks good then go for it, anyway, who cares if people think it ruins it. I thought if any mini would suit a louvre it'd be yours, just personally I don't like it seeing it on


yea thats kind of what i think, but there are gaps around the louvre when you fit them and im not convinced that it looks right :S
im so lost, i need to see one in the flesh fitted

If 'everyone' is in Essex, evidently you're in the wrong place :lol:

As tomb says, lose the stickers first though.
