What a fantastic domain you have there :)! I'm a big mini fan myself ;) However the first thing that struck me was that it took a long time to load your homepage on my lil ol 56k. Secondly, in your forums I notice you are using arial almost everywhere and when arial is bolded it looks crispy. I'd definately suggest dropping the bold styling on the links. Also the capitalized forum names are a bit overwhelming :) Anyways, overall looks pretty good. Best of luck with your site!

I like the customization of the style but, The default vbulletin buttons don't fit with the current style.

You need buttons that match, that blue and the black don't go together very well.
Plus starting at your style's colors for only a few seconds caused my eyes to hurt. The black background just clashes with the light from the grey table, and it just causes eyes to hurt. And probably the main thing that clases is the white links with the black background. It's not a very easy style to look at.

But who am I to complain, your site seems very successful, so you're doing it right it seems. :D

I prefer it to be all one shade of light. It's either a light style, or a dark style. Once you've chosen, you base colors around the extent of light (light or dark) you have chosen. I think this way is the safest, as mixing from both worlds sometimes doesn't work.
