    so as most of you know every year for the dragon i cover my car in some type of vinyl design.

    every year i get tons of compliments on my designs, some people even hunt me down at the event to see what i came up with that year and its great. After all the help last year with people posting pics of their MINIs i thought it might be kinda neat to open the floor up to you all and see what kinda ideas you had about decorating a MINI, have fun with it, who knows maybe youll see your design on STKRS at MOTD!

    How bout covering it so it looks like there is no metal panels there, as if you can see what is under the bonnet, thru the doors to see the interior/your body sitting in there driving. Hope that makes sense.

    PS: I read your story graphic at the turn around point after the Parade that raining Sat morning a few years ago..

    Cover it in either a slot car track decal or orange hot-wheels track...snake it all over and maybe have some magnetic models to display when you are parked.

    x-ray idea is cool as well, but I was thinking actually seeing the seats with their covering material, driver with clothes on etc, as if the shell was made of glass.

    you could do like the x-ray/glass idea except rather than have the car all translucent like. make it look like the outer metal is peeling off the car (due to its quickness of course :Thumbsup:)

    :yikes:I picked up a couple of hats in Switzerland last Summer; they are black, like your car, the vents are red, like maybe your mirrors, hood scoop & air intakes. The under side of the visor is also red; like maybe your lower lip. There's a really cool looking curvy Dragon on the hat; you could put one down each side of your car (front fenders to rear quarters). Hopefully, the attachment will work so you'll see what I mean.

    If you didn't want to use the hat idea for your car; maybe it would work for hats or tee shirts for 2013 MOTD; where it says "PILATUS" you could put "MINI" and where it says LUZERN" you could put "SLAYS" and maybe even:smilewinkgrin: 2013 on the back. Just thoughts.

    theses are all great ideas! keep them coming!!
    2 lil things i might point out, i do all my own vinyl work (keep down the cost), on that note i do not own a vinyl printer just a plotter so doing highly detailed designs like the x ray is sadly a bit out of reach for me :cryin: Also my day to day color scheme is black and lime green, i cant really take the green off so i have to be careful which colors i use to avoid clashing/christmas issues. :frown2:

    but like i said all these sound great, keep them coming, theyve already sparked some other ideas!:Thumbsup:
