The wheels remind me of the "Performance Turbo 6x12" but the original had Turbo written along the ridge around the wheel nuts.

Malcolm, theMINIguy on here makes the 100% correct GTS stripes and his workmanship and quality is top notch.

What is the difference from the ones that are on the car does anyone have a picture for me


RE: New to the mini world and loving it - Miniac - 10-02-2015

Essentially your fender and bonnet stripes are slightly incorrect...

Take note of the width and curves as the fender stripe becomes the bonnet stripe

Also with this image take note of how the stripe remains parallel right up until it curves up and onto the bonnet.

In the above images you can also see what the original arches would look like(although I have to admit that I take preference to your current arches myself)

These pics were taken eons ago by Sean and have always been a great help to me as the car was pretty much factory standard to use as an example.

Not a problem at all mate, I'm also a GTS owner and they're dwindling in numbers from the original 4212 that were produced, so any chance to help keep one looking mint is worthwhile to me.

Those could be modified Nissan 1200/1400 1/2 tonne bakkie wheels.

Really look good on your GTS.
