Thanks! I took the rings off, but only after reading how redbaron did it. I would have given up long before I ever got them off. After reading how he did it, it was very easy. Much easier than trying to cover everything and dealing with any overspray. I just need to do the grill and beltline next.

So are you plastidiping them? or what paint?
I am thinking PlastiDip but not convince with durability.
Loving this look... cant wait to get mine done.

And keeping with the thread, I just had my windows tinted on Friday! 5% in the rear, 35% on the front two.

Black and red is always welcome.
Can you make a picture of the side stripes. I'm still looking for a good inspiration for my side stripes. Thanks.

MINI finally home
I picked up my Paceman yesterday and had it tinted today. Absolute Black and looking gorgeous! I'll take some pictures this weekend, but so happy with her I had to share the joy.
Planning to do some dipping in my future on those rings. Still debating on if I can remove them or just tape off the car. My other plan was to dip the badging, which is why I want to know how to debage.
Unfortunately, I had to say goodbye to my 2006 Astro Black S. We had a great run and made a great team.

Another Paceman in Kansas!?! Wonder how long before we see each other! I'm always looking for a Paceman around here and haven't seen one yet.

I used plasti dip. It's not as durable as actually painting them, but when it does start to show wear you just peel it off and respray. It's very easy stuff to work with and I'd highly recommend it. If for any reason you mess up in the process of putting it on, you wait for it to dry, peel it off, and respray. My stripes, beltline, headlight/taillight rings on my '08 were plasti-dipped for around 8 months when I sold it and it was still holding strong. If you want some extra durability, spray a couple extra coats on.

I think it has to be 3/4" thick.

Thanks! Let me know how plasti-dipping the belt line goes, that's next up on my list when I have time. Then I need to figure out an armrest...I thought I could do without it when I got the car, but every time I get in it I wish I had it...

Arm Rest installed
I did the arm rest a couple of weeks ago, I also thought I could do without, it’s a simple install. make sure you get the new longer bolts to attache the arm rest.
Sorry for the dark pics…

Love that stealth look

Are the handle covers the same from all MINI generations? will R56 covers fit my PM handles? I want some of these soon but want to make sure they fit nice and snug, if not I probable go with paint.
