    No stripes, stripes were a dealer applied option. This is a copy of a very lightly optioned daily driver/weekend racer.

    I like the no stripes look. Very clean and simple. Probably a little more aerodynamic, too.

    That is exactly the color I’m wanting, though with the stripes. Does it matter what year of Mini? I looked at a 2019 Mini Cooper with electric blue today and it looked lighter than yours.

    The distance between "finished" and finished is literally infinite.

    Looks great! Question about your doors - The seem to have a different shape than most. Can you send a pic of the door opening in the body?

    Hoping to have Mike's paint my 33(hope to order kit this spring) . They gave me a ballpark estimate that is right in my budget and they do beautiful work as evident in your photo! Thanks for sharing Chuckster.
