Pics of my pride and joy

As promised I have attached a couple of pics of my S, Monte.

I thought I had more but I think I have deleted them somehow...doh.
Anyway I need to do a new shoot for our next advertising campaign :smile:

That' pretty cool.

Why did you place the Union Jack at an angle, as opposed to horizontally?

Is that something you did yourself, or did a shop do it for you? It looks kind of like what MINI is doing on those new European Special Edition models.

crazyphil...Monte looks fantastic! Very nice job on the graphics...the slight tilt on the UJ is a great touch. That graphic placement is something we've not seen over here til, as countrym observed, the special edition pics started showing up. I like it though...does open up some possibilities for making our MINIs even more personal. Thanks for sharing the pics!!!

My new graphics company has started doing them so we could be different from what is available, but typical isn't it when I hit on a great idea...BMW copy me anyway our stuff is better and cheaper and I have a copyright to all our designs.

Hopefully we will be advertising on here pretty soon, so watch this space :smile:

Also, the graphics for the A panel are on an angle as the concept is that it shows just a flash of a design which I think is neater.

We also do custom work....oops sorry not supposed to be advertising... If anyone wants a free catalogue PM me

crazyphil...do you have those graphics on both sides of you MINI? I wouldn't ask except that I noticed the MINI One Seven has a different graphic placement on either side of the car.

Crazy, that is STONE freekin' brilliant, mate! I LOVE the UJ graph over the fender!!! It's kinda like the e36 M3 Lite w/ its checkered flags (That was one of the BEST sportscars ever!).

This is one of the best MCSs I've seen in recent memory!

Crazyphil,
Great look. Please contact Mark if you're interested in being a vendor on NAM, seems like you already have quite a following.


It's just enough graphic for a splash of color and be different.
In theory you could put any flag or Logo tilted there.

Thanks for the comment, yes we are in contact with Mark about becoming a vendor. Just waiting for some info back from him.

Phil...heres' a little trick I didn't know myself 'til recently. I mention it because I love what you've got going here.

Consider, along with the U.S set you currently have, creating another set in which you flip one graphic so the blue star field on both sides faces the front of the car. Technically speaking, that is the correct way to display the U.S. flag, and although many won't be that particular, when displaying the graphic so publiclly it might be good to have for those who are. You do see it both ways, but there is an officially correct method, too.
