Very clean. The red pin stripe is a nice touch. I personally would wan the trunk lid to remain white, but that's my preference.

Thanks ! You know I did the trunk last and I stared at it for quite a while just like you mentioned but I felt it looked like something was missing. It's vinyl so it's very easy to change it or remove it completely .

White, red, and black is how I always set up my cars on NFSMW (the first one, showing my age here). Great combination. I did something similar with my car but ended the wrap essentially at the bottom of the hatch glass. The black roof flattens out the height of the car and I really like the look.

I agree with Mr. eeeeek that the red pinstripe helps. It makes the transition a little neater, I think. It might also hide imperfections in the vinyl edge. I used pinstripe tape on my race bike between colors because it's easier than being careful masking ;^)

If you left the hatch white, I think you'd need to follow a different line with the black to avoid two fangs of black bookending the spoiler. A line like that isn't as well defined on the body. Maybe the spoiler white with the two triangles black? Not really sure. In any case, nice job. It looks good and is distinctive.

That’s exactly what it looked like; two fangs lol. I actually had a nice. Clean cut using knifeless tape but the red pinstripe helped the transition from white to black I think .
I also ordered more vinyl to see how a racing stripe on the hood looks

Cheers! Those are Vorsteiners. I am super happy with them, the ride on those with Michelins is not harder than the ride on the OEM 19's with P zeros.

The two-tone look goes well on a MINI. I'm not much of a fan of it on the F-Type. Personal preference (but that's why they offer menus in restaurants).

I had the Red Pinstripe on my front lip, and side vents and wheels as well, same wheels as your's actually. Love the lip and side vents, took the wheels off cause it was peeling, Gonna go with silver pinstripe on the wheel to see how that looks, love the blade wheels.

Yeah the red accent on the wheels is actually paint, all the rest is tape. I scuffed 2 of my wheels (a curb jumped out in front of my car ) so I have to have them repaired and the stripe repainted.
