Nice car! Mine is very similar! I love the ride height of yours. What did you do to your suspension?

Here's my Stitch:

BadakVT that looks great, did you do the dechroming yourself?


I like the look of the plate surrounds too, good work.

Thanks Dustin!
And Lucila, that's a great name. I hadn't even thought about that. As for suspension, I'm on KW v1 coilovers.

The silver 500 MINI Tentacle Spoke Wheels look good with the blue.

Very clean! Our VO MINI will be here at the end of the month. Can't wait to get it. Seeing yours makes me even more excited.

Congrats on choosing the best color! (Although, I may be a bit bias... )

Thanks for the kind words guys.

Dustin, congrats on the new car! You'll love the color combo for sure!
The VO looks great blacked out IMO. All you need to complete the look is to drop the car (not too much), preferably with a good coilover set.

I like the look of the plate surrounds too, good work.
Dechroming was a combination of Vinyl wrap (bumper areas), Aliexpress covers (door handle and gas cap), and PlastiDip (window trims).

Yea I did most of the dechroming myself except for the Vinyl wrapping. Should be pretty easy if you use non-permanent methods like Plasti-Dip or covers.

Crappy cellphone pics. I like the way the light brings out the red in the first one.

Is the black surround on the grille just part of the Cooper S Grille or JCW grille? I want to change the surround on my grille to black. I do not have a Cooper S or JCW.
