Hi,

 

I've recently purchased a Rover Mini Sprite, but it's not original. Towards the back of the car, to me it seems extremely plain. 

I want to put some subtle decals on it, but I don't want the original 'Sprite' stickers. To me it seems like a low end model (and my car isn't original anyway).

 

What could I put instead such as coach lines for example? I don't want to make it seem like a model it isn't either (tricky I know)  >_<

 

Thanks,

Corey

I've contemplated putting a Union Jack on the roof (I only like it because it's iconic on a Mini), but it has a sunroof. It'll be tricky...

But agreed you should leave your mini alone! No stickers can make that car look better! :)

Honestly the mini looks really good :) at worst you could get a few things wrapped maybe? I "personally" love red cars with black bits on them, but it is all down to personal taste :)

Yeah, it sounds like a good combination.

(Sort of off topic)

 

I've seen precut Austin/Rover mini window tint on eBay, 25%. I'm tempted by that...

If I were you is get

1. Black widow tint.
2. Black alloys.
3. And maybe a few other black details.....

Could possibly spray the current wheels (Or get those lovely black Minilights with the red rim around the outside) and shift these on. Tint, and a simple black coachline. 

Not sure if the result would be worth the money put into it, but I'll look into it  :gimme:
