haha! thats why i started at such a random time of day. People tend to ask questions when your headlights are in the oven.

 

Sorry to ask, but is it 200 degrees F or C.
I live in Switzerland and out here we use Celcius.

 

I say go for it...I did and it works for me (cheapo commercial voice haha)

 

That's fahrenheit. I did a quick online conversion and its 93.3 C

 

Thanx...

 

Oh I am SO doing this on Lloyd as soon as he is back from the Body shop! (Sounds worse than it is. Car came with a White Roof and I am switching it to black!) Planning a blacked out look over the Laser Blue with red accents. I might try getting some small amount of red in the headlamps as well. Might tie everything together!

Thanks for the write up!

 

If Lloyd has halogens there's definitely some prime spots for red if you've got a steady hand and don't mind hand-painting some parts of it.

 

this is my italian mini

 

wow... ^^ thats hot!!

 

ICHY600, that is the exact same thing I am going to do. I love the look with the chrome, and the rest all black. SWEET!!

 

Nice! do you have more close up pictures?

 

Nice Us pepper whites must dechrome

You have any plans for the door handles? I'm planning on covering up the car sometime soon and painting the handles right on the car

 

This car has the standard headlamps. But I may (or may not) have a trick or two up my sleeve. Just anxious to see it back from the shop!

 

Looking forward to it. Where do you plan to use red vs. black? Some photoshop studies might be in order, but I suckage at Pshop.

 

well its not the cleanest of photoshoped pics, but I think it'll do...and i think this is what he meant by some options you have with the halgens

 

Nice! I love the contrasting roof stripes. Just beautiful!!

P.S. Someone bent your side mirror up .. haha

 

I'm lovin' the PW stuff here!

I'm not blacking out my car, but what do you think about this? Just painting the chrome trim ring inside satin black. I'd also get rid of the orange stuff at that point and get some of these as well:

 

This takes tops as scariest mod I've seen. Good work, though!

 

I love those, but they are so damn expensive!

 

OT but where can I get those?

On Topic I did this mod to my Matrix headlights and may try it on the mini... But maybe not black.

I think they're in the R56 exterior section.

 

Hi I've just noticed this thread, think this looks really cool. Made me think of the first R56 with this mod that was built buy BMW in April 2007. When they produced the millionth MINI this had Black headlamps, here is a link with some pictures may someone with a Pepper White S could create a replica?

ALMOST DONE! Back int eh oven right now to re-set the glue! Didn't do the red, but it looks super sharp!

So excited to take some pics!

 

Cool can't wait to see some pics

You're with Alta?
Aren't you getting that Apollo K&N cold air intake? Do you think that will have decent improvement on a non S?
