I had to look again to try to see if they were straight.

Looks good to me.

I say keep em.

Your mini, but they do look good.

Glenn-- You can check previous threads on the visor warning decals, but basically you just use nenatured alcohol, soak 'em for a minute by holding up some soaked layers of paper towel to the decals, then use the same paper towel to rub them right off. Motor on.

I like the idea of the stripes, however, I think the curve is a little TOO pronounced, especially in the head-on photos. I don't mean to be negative, as it seems everyone has been positive about them so far, that was just my first impression, that the angle of the curve needed to be less.

To MCJoe, i did try setting a bit straighter, but they went fall into the headlamp recess. and head on it looked worse. so I opted to put them where you see them.

To TMGRobyn, no it's Mequiers shine :smile:

I keep coming back to look at your stripes. I don't know why I like them so much.

OK, now that I have that information, and now that I've come back to look at them a second day, I think I'm ready to give it a thumbs-up. Looking at it today, it didn't look as angled to me as I thought it was. Maybe it's the darkness of your car in the pictures, so it's hard to tell where the actual contours of the bonnet are. Also, the dealer-installed stripes are also angled, but I don't think it's as noticeable because there are two of them, if that makes any sense. I say keep the stripe, it is unique (but probably won't be for long, judging by some of the positive comments I've read). I like that you continued it on the boot also, I am thinking about getting boot stripes to match my regular bonnet stripes.

I like the strips. I think you going out of your way to personalize your MINI is cool. Isn't great how MINIs really show each motors personality. The strips should stay!
