Interior/Exterior Need help to black out or not thx in advance
#26
personally i liked the chrome, on a pure silver car I wouldnt do a blackout, on a DS i would, but i think on a ds it looks bad ***. some cars the chrome helps to break up some lines and accent features. its why i left the chrome on my jet black with a white roof. I might joey mod or something, but the headlight rungs are staying chrome.

To the OP...when I was deciding whether or not to blackout the belt line or not on our MINI's, I used the electrical tape to get a quick temporary look at what it would look like. When I decided to keep it, I used 3M striping tape since it will hold up better than electrical tape.

Mmmmm,hmmmmm!! Glad I could be of help to you. Nobody said anything about me being final authority. That's what you said. But anyway, sounds like you had to jump in for your own self gratification, so if it made you feel better, again, I'm glad I could help you there buddy!!!

Just wanted to jump in here for the benefit of the OP. I don't have the PS Roof, but here is an older pic of my MINI.
I have since painted the handles, and removed the factory strips and added boot, bonnet and side stripes in flat black. I still plan to do the beltline, Joey Mod and potentially paint the side mirrors flat.
Hope this helps with the vision, but again, your PS roof will make a big difference.
My MINI is not classy, but I like to be a little more aggresive... as aggressive as i can get with my MINI. I get lots of compliments on the street, but not much in the forums. I'm a one man wolf pack in the forums.
I'll post current pics tomorrow, but wanted to help OP with a quick look

JEEEEEZ. Even if blacking out is played in the Mini world, how often are you ever going to see another blacked out Mini? I rarely see others with ANYTHING done to them, performance or exterior mods.
To the OP: Go for it. It's fun, but don't let the plasti-dip get a hold of your creativity. You'll go overboard.
It IS a little ridiculous that you called yourself a trend setter There are at least 15 threads about blacking out the exterior

Personally the only chrome I like is the Headlight Rings...It's classy and it just pops when everything else is blackened out. The Raccoon Eyes just doesn't do it.
I have Carbon Fiber Hood Scoop, CF Mirror Caps, CF Tail Latch, Blackened Belt Line, Gas Cap, Black Sport Stripes on a PW/BLK R56 MCS HB. I have Chrome Door Handles and Head Light Rings.
I have Carbon Fiber Hood Scoop, CF Tail Latch on my CR R52 MCS Cabrio...I just started.

Black Or Chrome And A R53
Wow guys never thought my question would turn into this. Anyway I did the beltline and that will be all except for black viper stripes. I also debaged the rear ( yes I know chrome ) but like some posters said it's up to me. Dont worry no door handles or gas cap but window titnting yes. Let me know how you like the R 53...
