stripes is the thing I think that attracts me the most. what site would u guys recommend for it? Same goes for the lights, not really lookin for em but just to see and price them.

As far as the badge goes. its something i would rather keep on. mostly if im going to be selling her later on

Edit: oh yea, i forgot about Mini Pirate. I think like u guys said, maybe custom might be the best job.

which do you like? the stripes on the hatch alone.. or all the way down the bumper. its a hard choice for me. on the hatch looks nice and clean. bumper looks spiffy but almost a bit much.. ??

They don't go down in the front..

So I wouldn't go all the way down in the back....

FWIW...

i wouldnt go all the way down either. I think its cleaner to just end it and not do every little indent along the way

Agreed...just the hatch. That is a logical stopping point and will look good. If you go past here you'll run into that bumper strip and that can diminish (or ruin?) the overall effect. On an MCS or a later Cooper (sans bumper strip) maybe you could pull off running a rear stripe farther, but not on your Cooper. This isn't a problem at all...you just have to work w/ the design of your car, not against.

Spice up the rear end? That sounds like it stings.

I couldnt agree more. I wish oh I wish there was a way where I could some how throw a Matrix thing into the theme. Im an Avid Matrix fan (own everything related lmao) so I would love to have that into the mix.

I did just order new Plates too. AG SMITH so waiting for that but I wish I could think of somehow adding something matrix like into my theme

How about getting a roof graphic of the falling letters (you know, from the titles).

basicly just have the matrix code you mean? (also, that would be what, straight going to custom vynal shop?) ive always have thought of getting them *just something for the roof* but i always thought it might be weird to be sitting inside of it and getting the shadows of it...but maybe it wont turn like that?

also, if anybody has more matrix ideas, please do suggest (goes back to play "path of neo on the ps2"
