Before:



After:
i used all paint. no vinyl no stickers. all tape and measurements to align the stripes. took about 2 hours to do. had fun aswell. let me know and lets see yours! ^_^

 

I've been wanting to do those exact stripes on my PW/B. They look great. I've also been on edge about blacking out the headlight rings because I thought it would stand out too much, but yours look great.

You painted the stripes on? PlastiDip? Won't it come off when you wash it?

 

I recently picked up a similar striping for my PW (the thin band is red for me). All black looks good too.

 

Looks good. You don't see the offset stripe a lot, but I like it.

Here's my recent before/after. Aero grill and moving/changing the plate bracket.

thanks for the replies every one! upgrades are soon to come^_^

 

@dannyhavok nice MINI. i like tht grill! i wanted to get one but alot of people hav'em as there 1st exterior change so i'll wait. have you thought about putting your plate at the bottom corner?? just a thought. other than tht thts great.

 

@hexon yea its plasti dip.. i did the rims in plasti-dip aswell. i took it to the car was 2 or 3 times but i usually hand wash my cars. the paint is real strudy, the only way to actually take it off is to get underneath it. then it'd peel off like stickers ^_^ i love tht paint.

 

has anyone tried to do the fenders?

 

look good offset

After

 

Thanks! It is pretty popular but since I hadn't seen any others in town, I went for it. I really like the M7 grille a lot, and considered going that way, but couldn't justify the cost. $230 could buy me springs! However it's something to consider.

Hadn't thought about moving the plate.. not a bad idea though, I might try it out at some point and see how it looks




Evasive, that's a real night and day transformation, your car looks mean as hell. I really like that front splitter!

 

@ minimejames what do you mean? like painting the fenders? i know if i did mine it'd prolly look alot like a MINI cop car. haha but no and i havent seen a mini in person tht has any fender vinyl.

 

nice wheels! i like the new look. and i believe thts the next thing im doing, is getting a front splitter. is tht the one frm m7?? thts nice

 

Wow looks very nice, and all paint? that is impressive. What did you use to smoke out the tails?

 

It's a custom made splitter. Thanks! Definitely one of my favorite exterior mods.

 

yup all paint, and i used a film tht i had ordered frm autotrim. i did the front also but i got pulled over for it... -____- but yea thanks.

 

To OP: great but did you also repaint the hood scoop? Not worried of the paint melting? I think your mod made your mini go from very typical to slick. Might have kept the checkered mirrors tho.

 

excellent plasti-dip skillz

 

Remember the 1st gen has an intercooler under the scoop and not a hot turbo like the 2nd gen. I plastidipped my scoop on my '09 It has held up just fine a quite a few months now. I also open up the grill on it with a dremel so it lets more heat out when sitting and more air in while driving so I imagine it helps a bunch.

 

Love love love the offsets! I had my offsets painted on, too. I love that it's a stripe option you don't see on many MINIS. . .makes mine stand out even in a crowd of other MINIS.

 

very classy
