those are the stock factory ones. you just have them painted to match. That car has been painted a different color because that isnt pepper white. To paint the plastic pieces your looking at around $450-$550.

I figure those areas are the first to get dinged up. Not only is painting expensive but re-painting every time a rock hits them adds to the bill.

Looks great though.

Yeah, it pretty sweet, and plus Im the coolest guy Ive ever met. Any way I think it looks so nice, but had anyone ever taken the molding off, and did a custom fender flare? Or any wide kits for the MINI?

Is there any reason to widen the 'wide bulldog stance' of the MINI .


I want to have my arches painted, but im also a youngin, and funds for me dont come easy.
