Well that would explain it. I was in the Army myself and we tended not to notice the marines.

Here's two different versions I've done. First are 10" viper style, second is an idea I stole from the Corvette Grand Sport.

Probably because our digicamo actually works

 

Right, that was most likely the reason.

Jim

 

Thanks it was a DIY job

 

Here is my stripe, I'm still not 100% sure about

 

Andy, the stripe design looks great!!! I think maybe you should do another one on the other side though. Either the same format with the letters in it, or just a plain stripe that matches the basic design of the other one. But yeah, there's nothing wrong with the stripe now. The car just looks like it's missing something with just one.

 

I like it. Perhaps just the name on the bonnet or roof and a regular stripe in the other location. What light bar are you suing?

The off set single stripe was very "in" at one time on the British import "sports cars" as they were called. I have always like it myself.

Jim

 

One up each side could look well, thanks for the idea

 

I was thinking the Lohen branding was a bit much, that was one of the reasons I was unsure about it.

The spot lamps are mounted on individual mounts, all MINI supplied.
They go through the grille and rivet to the back of the bonnet.

 

One ruby and one stock

both red


finished product with the boots stripes and the red tail lights

 

Here is mine...

 

I wanna do boot and bonnet stripes in some Di-Noc but having trouble finding anywhere I can get it. Anyone else do this yet? I'd love to see some pics of it

 

Plenty of places to buy it from. Even Ebay..
Just be prepared for the SHOCK$$$

But hey, you got to pay to play!!!

 

There is a guy selling Carbon Fiber stripes for the Mini on the web, wondering if anyone has installled these, he has black with silver pin on the side and then he has Silver with the black on the side.

Before and after shots:

 

Nice! ^^ I did something similar myself. I did the hood stripes myself (had no stripes from the factory). Put metallic silver pinstripes on the edges to match the chrome line exterior. Just did the perforated vinyl sunroof and roof stripes a couple weeks ago

Just put these on!

 

Couple more pictures.

 

Nice - very classy looking. Like a fine suit

 

Some of you guys were asking about the 3M Di-Noc off the web. I just purchased the black carbon fiber with red pin stripes and installed this past weekend.

 

Nice.

Unfortunately, they just look matte black in the photos. I had a DiNoc sample when i bought some vynil, that was my complaint... its hard to tell that its "Carbon Fiber" unless your close to it.

 

True but i like that matte look so it was ok with me. The seller i purchased this from was offering Black Carbon, Dary Grey, & Light Grey of which you would probably still not see the definition of the carbon.
