Deco Design Decisions or DDD for Short

The overall exterior deco design decisions for my MINI, Red 5 have been finalized with one exception... the bonnet. To those not versed in MINI-speak the bonnet is what you know as the hood and what you know as a trunck is called the boot. Anyway, I have narrowed the bonnet DDD down to the two concepts below. I like both equally, but I am starting to lean a little in favor of... well I am not telling which I am leaning towards. Take a look for yourself and feel free to share your thoughts on both the bonnet concepts and roof deco. May the Force be with you, always.
Red 5 Bonnet Concept #1
Red 5 Bonnet Concept #2

All of the deco will be applied on Saturday October 15 by Mike of Aesthetic Creations. He is coming to Laurel, MD at the invite of DC Metro MINIs for a MINI deco party the weekend of the 14th, 15th & 16th and for being part of the party all of those getting deco get 25% off. YEAH BABY!

I think I'd like concept #1 for the bonnet. Please tell me you're not going for all that artwork on the roof, though.

Yes, I am going for that artwork on the roof.

#1 - but the logo in stripe might be acceptable, just depends on what it looks like in the head on view.

Woooow, that's cool! Definitely unique. Never thought of getting an image printed on the vinyl (althought I have seen it on other vehicles).

On the LA Event page, the silver Mini with the anthracite stripes (Legal PI) rawks! http://www.aestheticreations.net/laevent.htm

If only I had the money....

Whoa, cool! All you need is your STARBOY vanity plate and you will be all set. ;-)

BTW...what is the difference between the two roof designs?

There is no difference in the roof artwork. Only the bonnet is different.

Did you get the tags yet?

Number 1 is my vote.

When the tags arrive you can be assured that news of it will be posted. MVA cashed the check over five weeks ago, so the tags should be here soon (within another week or two).
