Exclamation MINI skin?

Hello all!

anyone know of a RR MINI skin?
MINI uses orange on black like BMW but with MINI logos instead of BMW.

Please do let me know.

Many Thanks !!!

I think most skins are made 800x600 to fit a 7" touchscreen any smaller would make them hard to see.

Logos can changed,

Font colours can be changed

A lot now use transparency so you can use what ever background suits.


There is a nice centrafuse one which might look converted to RR

Well he is asking for a mini skin, but I dont think too may people have made them smaller than 800X480... Maybe a 600x400 but I dont know if that qualifies as mini

Warning Shameless Plug ahead

Something like this?








You may not have to remove the OEM screen, depending on of you want to. Check THIS post out. He used the Mini's cup holder to mount the screen in front of the radio. It swings out of the way when you want to access is.
