    I have decided the Mini needs a make over and have decided what I want.

    Going is the roof chequers and in its place I am going to do the whole car in tiger stripes.

    The car is black with a white roof and am going to put black tiger stripes all over it!!!

    Now the question is where can I get this done thats not too far away from Aberdeen?

    Anyone any ideas?

    Cheers
    Kevin

    Not near you, but Mini Designs in Stirling always do a fantastic job

    I'll second that, it is a bit of a distance, but give Carlo at Mini Designs a shout. Did a great job on mine - I worked out on paper exactly what I wanted and Carlo reproduced it exactly on the car - good price too!

    Not sure about the Tiger Stripes tho'. Might end up looking like a bad 80's fashion cushion. BTW, if the body of the car is black and you're putting BLACK stripes over the WHOLE car, how's that work then? I can see it on the roof, but black stripes on a black body? Best of luck anyway.

    Speak to JC's Aberdeen, they will have someone local who does the official Mini graphics


    Feet were made to fit car pedals. If we were meant to walk, we'd have pogo sticks for legs

    thanks guys, had a slight rethink, decided am going to make my Mini the Carbon Fibre demo car for the business so lots of CF everywhere, I think that would make it a little more different for now.

    Matt stripes on gloss black looks very nice though!
