I think I am going to remove the side stripes and possibly the orange pinstripes on the main vipers

Thoughts?

I'd keep them.. they make your Clubbie unique, and the rest of us jealous.

Loving the blue... MINI needs to go back to offering colors like that rather than the current crop of dreary colors.

Looks nicer without all the multicolored strips, IMHO......I like the more subtle touches you did with the lights.......well done!

BTW, where can I get a "Clubman Estate" badge here in the colonies?

I cut the little fixing things off with a pair of plyers and used numberplate sticky tape to attach

hahahhahha I might! I just vinyled the hell out of the car and am having a 'cooling off period.' Need to regroup and than see what's next. HA
I have that Mini Cooper laurel vinyl you have, as well, but I haven't found a place for it. I may just sell it... LOVE it though.

It's off alright... A bit too much next to the vintage badge...

Here is the other side, missing another OEM badge

Well thanks to my friend Andy he found me an S front bumper in Lightning blue just down to road too
Picked it up sunday morning and after a lot of faffing and broken arch clips which I need to replace now I got it on
Andy came down today and fitted the belt line kit too
Really pleased

I think Mini Spares is the cheapest place to get it at.
