Hey bud!

There are some pics of DS door handles on our site. I will post some pics once they are installed on a MINI. This DS set went to Italy!

Those look nice. May need to add some to Bender. I need to thank you again for the work on Bender this summer. Love the tail lights and head light rings.

I see on your site you have the grill surrounds, but what about the inserts? Mine is all chrome, and I want to black out the inside.

I'd be interested in wraps (probably black) for the rings around the interior vents on an R56. The ones nearest the side windows reflect in my side mirrors.

Does it require removal of parts to install vinyl on head light rings and grill surrounds?

I just installed Lyle's double-wrap Satin Black Headlight Rings this morning --



Gnex, to do this install you need to pull the headlights out of the bonnet (three nuts and a plug; very easy) and remove the original rings (not too difficult but you need to be careful to avoid breaking off the little plastic tabs as you're removing them--I'm a novice but managed to get it done without breaking any).

I'm very happy with the look. Will be even better with my summer wheel/tire setup and my pending custom side stripes. Anyway, this is a nice and easy wintertime project.

Lyle recently did a local install for me. He followed up with his work on some interior bits he wrapped in the summer and when he found out they weren't 100%, offered to re-wrap them for free. Now that's customer service! If you read this Lyle, put the pictures up of your great work! Thanks again!

Vinyl Styles has the most tempting MINI embellishments of anyone!

Question: The site only has 05-06 grille surrounds available, which makes sense since the earlier years have the sculpted lines in them and wouldn't look as good wrapped. However, do you know if an 05 grille surround will fit on an 04 MCS?

And he'll be at AMVIV again this year. I had Lyle wrap a set of door handles for me in black and they look fantastic.

Wheels & Other Mods...

As of right now, I have 19 inch chrome rims on my MCS (CHECK OUT MY GALLERY), and they just get so dirty, and I also want to make my MINI look more sporty and less luxurious...So what does everyone think about that? Also, I am getting the Magnaflow Catback Kit for the MCS; is that an extremely loud kit? Is it worth it? Does it sound good? Please let me know anyone who can help, as I need some modding help...THANX!!

Well, the first thing ya gotta do is get rid of those chrome rims!

I'm not sure what the specs are for those wheels. That is a customers car. I will contact him and ask him that info.

The magnaflow exhaust is a pretty loud exhaust system, if I'm not mistaken. It is up there with the Borla.

Any MINI looks good blacked out!

Yeah, I was thinking about getting the Konig Feathers (17.5 or 18s i think they are), and putting them on my car with my original, factory run-flat tires, and then buying the LylesVinylStyles all-black out kit. But I dunno if my silver mini would look better with SILVER vinyl or BLACK vinyl (the black vinyl would match the new black rims and the side wheel arch plastic)...right now, I am leaning more towards the BLACK vinyl for the whole car...Which brings me to the question, how does that process work out? Do I give u my old headlight rings and gas cap, etc, or do i put on the vinyl myself on my own rings, etc? I was just wondering about that. And also, yes, I have heard that the Magnaflows are the best u can get for the MCS if u are looking for sound with power gains as well. But thanks for all ur help!!
