Did you paint the arches black? That looks HOT!

Very original! Now I want to copy it so I can be original too!!!

Very nice. I take it that the wheels are anthracite and not black? They go very well with the car color. I was going to get the same color but decided on silver.


Over all the look you have is very classy.

Very nice DS/DS "JCW MCS" with black painted arches,aero kit, painted brake calipers,NAV, and SSR comp anthracite wheels.

You might want to add black stickers (white dots) for the rear lower bumper grilles. Cost $50

This would look more finished than leaving it unpainted.
Or go custom and do your own grilles in carbon fiber or some other finish.

Really like the painted molding, considering doing the same to mine. Two questions, any durability problems with them chipping, etc. and what % tint do you have?

Ack! Don't add aero kit decals! I like the clean look your MINI is sporting! It's very stealth and very sexy!

As a fellow DS/DS owner... I approve! I think you should consider painting all the exterior chrome gloss black. That would take it to the next level, imho.

Looks very good, I like the black wheel arches I wouldn't add the decals and IMHO the black mirrors set off your painted arches. Nice work.

S1monLM,

Where did you get your taillights??? I might try to get a pair and retro fit them on my 05'. The white center will look nice with my PW MINI.

Very sweet looking ride you have there.
