Hi all,
Like many here I have a deep disdain for chrome. I had a lot of fun with Plasti-Dip this weekend - did the crome grille surrounds and gas cap, side scuttles (just to see what it would look like - I have the black JCW side scuttles, as well as blackout beltline tape, on the way!), and I want to get all the rest of the chrome off ASAP.
What I'm wondering is if anyone with a dark silver R56 has blacked out the headlight/taillight rings and wants to share a pic. I think black circles around my MINI's eyes might look strange, esp. because I have the factory aero kit so no black on the fenders.
So, 2nd option: body color. I'm not comforatble with painting it myself - don't have the skill or the tools and I want it to look good. I found a post from a while back that pointed me to minispeed, but they seem to only offer painted rings for the R53. Anyone know of a vendor that offers body-color rings for the R56?
Sry about the length!

P.S. I know we all like pictures, so (from the day I picked it up - pre blackout mods):
