-UPDATED- another DIY bling by...

here goes another DIY bling on a budget.... picked up some some chrome trim from pepboys and went crazy.... added a lot of around things that thay dont make and if the do... the price is expensive... hope you like...

BEWARE.... YOU MAY NEED SUNGLASSES



chrome around the doors



chrome accents around the radio and $#!t


a chrome strip accenting the top of the dash....


chrome around the mini logo on the steering wheel


and finally ... the chrome around the rear bumper vents..... to match the one up by the bonnet...



and yes folks.... i do like the shine.... so here's the chrome on the outside for those who hasnt seen it yet...






DUB MINUS TWO... "DOLCE" & gabbana SHOES ON THE COOP...


chrome accent above the side vent


chrome bar across the mouth from the convertable MINIs


chrome bumper guard from 02' COOPER


NEW* polished side splitters... some may think it has function and some may think it dont..
but for me... i think it looks good....

I bet this helps get rid of the dash rattle. I stuck a section of cardboard under mine as a temporary fix - a few years ago!

That's alright. I now have formed some mental images of what he did and I think it looks great. Love the chrome and that one thing was a nice touch.

When you turn that third picture upside down it looks kinda like a piercing a girlfriend of mine once had... it was DIY from Pep Boys too, I think...
