Challenge MINI
Chad Swanson did the graphics for me at MINI of South Atlanta. No package. I just sent him pictures and sent him the design over Forza 4. I tweaked the stripes slightly and guided him through the process. I can give you his contact if you live near Atlanta.

I live in Dallas - would love to put the Challenge stripes on my 2009 Astro Black JCW. I don't need all the extra one's you've got - although it does look great with the Dunlap graphics on the front.

I have the older challenge stripes which I like a bit better. I do not know why they went to this newer style.
Any significance to the #37? Just the like #37 you see on lots of MINIs?
I get asked this all the time with my car. People assume its an 8 ball on my car which its not. I just like the #8. Its always been my lucky number

Don't know that the two stripe checker is newer than your three stripe checker on the side stripes. If you look at different Challenge races in different countries, the two stripe challenge stripe has been around for a while. The guys with MINI of Charleston that put the side stripe together for me told me that the 2 stripe checker style was the original design from MINI AG in the manual, and that the 3 stripe design came later. I'm just glad that my installer in Dallas (91 Designs) did an amazing job with the install, added the hood and rear stripes, and then did a custom JCW decal for the rocker panels.

I started to notice the 2 stripe version like you have on your car only recently.
I am very enamored with the Challenge car. I watch lots of videos on YouTube and I am always Googling for images of the Challenge car.
That is why I think you have the newer design.
I does not really matter. Your car looks great and like I said I like the JCW logo on the side skirts.

I have to admit, the wheels shown above transform it. Has it been lowered aswell?
Thanks.
PS. If you are prepared to help someone else get their wheels done like that, please PM or e-mail me.

Posted this in 1st Gear area, but maybe it's better directed here:
I wanted to make a new thread about this question but maybe you guys would know. So I went to a Mini dealer today and they said that they don't have a slot for me to order a JCW Hardtop. How does that work? I am willing to give them my business but its almost like they don't want it. So what's this whole "limited order/slot amount" funny business?
EDIT: Found the thread that explained it.
