and my flaming MINI   Registered Member #7 Joined: Tue Oct 04 2005, 12:00AMLocation: Bournemouth Posts: 1762 | Anyone that has seen my MINI knows I have a race/rallye looking going on with regards to stickers on my MINI. This year my MINI turned 3 years old and what with the problems I've had recently I've decided to treat me and my MINI to a new look. I've always wanted my MINI to look like the official MINI Challenge cars and finally found a place to get the official kit from. So hopefully within the next week or two my MINI will be striped back to basic and the new stickerss fitted by yours truely. To give you an idea of what my MINI will look like I had a play around in Forza 2 this week to see if I liked it. To my surprise it came out really well and I don't think it's to OTT. The picture is however missing the windscreen sticker and also doesn't have my cheq wing mirros as Forza doesn't let me change them. I'm really hoping to get this all done by Feb 23rd when my car will be on display at Rallye Sunseeker. This does however all depend on when the stickers arrive and what the weather is like when I get time to fit them.

Windscreen will be having the official MINI Challenge sticker which is black background and Mintex sponser stuff on it. Plus you wont be able to miss the red and green Castrol sticker on the bonnet. Just need a roll cage now and a big cb radio antenna. | ||

I will be changing from the number 11 as I now feel it is an unlucky number after past events. Going with the number 28 that just so happens to be my age this year. | ||

Yep they will be coming from MINI Pirate. Put my order in last Wednesday so hopefully doesn't take too long to arrive. Could really do with them by this weekend as I'm off the Monday and staying with a friend that can help me fit them. | ||

He also added a couple of small extra's free of charge. Now need to hope the weather stays nice the rest of this week so I can get them all fitted for Saturday/Sunday. | ||

You should be able to see the castrol red/green logo on the bonnet so that will help from a distance. Plus you will not be able to miss the yellow text on the sides of the roof. Now come the run this Sunday I will be missing the windcsreen sticker as I'm waiting for the MINI to pass it's MOT before I fit it incase BMW moan about it. | ||

Looks really good and has changed the look of my MINI so much. Not going to put any pics up till after this weekend so all those going to rallye sunseeker and the birthday run get to see the finished look first. | ||
