Great look. Very clean/sharp and not overboard. Awesome Joey Mod too!
How about some of those silver wheel arch reflectors instead of those orange and red one's ????
Or tint them dark like the wheel rims and trim.....
I just got my Oricari scoops last week. Today I sanded off some imperfections, tapped the holes for the grilles, and painted insides flat black preparing for OEM painting on outside.....these scoops were hard to find, but definately worth it.......

that uh..cover? kinda..fell off? while i was driving..
one day my bumper looked weird and then i came to notice it was missing..when i take my car to the dealer for inspection II then i'll tell em about it..hopefully they dont charge me..as i will paint it myself
but i do have a stubby antenna..just never got around to putting it on cause im paranoid that someone's gonna take it..
and i have actually blacked out the gas cap before..then i switched to making it pw..i dunno which one i want more

Awesome
That is a clean looking car. I agree without the decals it looks even smoother. I really like what you've done. The Joey Mod looks awesome on that car as well, much better than some other ones I've seen around.
Maybe one day when I'm cruising back to my parents on leave I could swing by and you show me how to do it in person. I have no confidence when I'm working with things like that. Especially since I just bought my 04 MCS about a week ago.

Nice work!
I am getting ready to put on stripes and need to know if there is a process or trick to taking off the 'Mini' emblems on the hood and trunk? I took off the rear inside plastic cover on the trunk to get access, but the emblem is covered by a formed/welded inner body panel.....

thanks drsilvermini!! right now its covered in pw vinyl but its a bit more white than the actual pw but i'll probably end up painting it in pw so it'll match up better
and to 970S..just use fishing lin and/or dental floss and seesaw it in between the emblem and the car of course.
but there are 2 tabs for both front and back emblems and goes through two holes in the actual body of the car
if you look carefully at my pictures you'll see holes where the emblems are

Car looks GREAT! I'm actually in a similar process, so far I have my gas cap and sidemarkers color matched. I will be color matching my headlight rings and door handles as well. I think your Joey mod looks GREAT but I don't know that it would look as good with Chili Red. I think my black trim will need painting as well.
