martini racing theme. ideas?

what would be some ideas on doing this?
i know id definitely like to get stripes, front and back, one single wide stripe in those colors.
possibly do the grilles around the S emblem in those colors, and changing the color of the S to a different color to set it off some more.
other interesting ideas....
mirror caps?
rear-view mirror?
small decal to replace cooperS on the back?
small pinstripe kind of a deal running on the bottom across the whole interior trim on dashboard?
beltline, instead of going blackout, perhaps in those colors?

anything else?

I think subtlety is the best option here. You don't want everything painted in one of those colors.

Here is a quick paint I did over a vectored line MINI image I had found eons ago.
