Hey guys just getting my car resprayed.. I got a quote that im happy with and here is the mini Beast on the trailer..

Well i want to go with a dark blue with white racing stripes and white roof, but im open to suggestions. I wasnt sure entirely how the stripes go but im guessing that two white stripes going down the edge of the bonnet and then two white stripes going through the centre of the boot would be fine?? Is this how it should be done? Also I want to know how thick the stripes are usually painted? I am guessing about 3 inches thick?
For the blue does anyone have any recommendations for a certain blue that looks "kick ass" on the a mini and would you guys suggest to go with metallic paint?
If you guys have any pics for recommendations please post them up, it would be greatly appreciated.
The final problem im facing is that i have bought a wide body kit and it doesnt seem to fit, the wheel arches are a lot smaller than the flares. Do the flares sit lower than the body im quite confused on how to install them... any hints??
