Charcoal body, black roof, 25%tints, smoked out tail&head lights, black stripes on body charcoal stripes on roof, fenders painted same color of car, JCW aero kit, ALTA V2 Intake, Magnaflow Exhaust 3.5", 2 12" Kicker subs, panther leather seats, red brake calipers, powder coat black MINI wheels (waiting on my new rims, suggestions wanted), fog lights, black turning signal lights.

that's all for now, if there's anything that you recommed me getting, please let me know. thank you and have a nice day. :D

 

IMHO, it looks like a MINI to me!


Welcome to the forum!!

 

Welcome to NAM!! It looks like the "MOD BUG" took a big chunk out of you.
Great looking ride!!

 

I can't resist...IN DA WEEDS!

 

Nice Job on your mods

 

Nice looking car you got there. I am guessing that charcoal=ds?
What does your local law enforcement say about the headlights, or do you just not drive after dark? Just wondering...looks good tho...

 

well, they haven't stopped me for them, they've only given me a hard time for my taillights but that's when i got my 1st speeding ticket :x

 

 

it looks nice as it is.... what don't you like about it.

 

Evil!

 

I like the way it looks (I also like the grill...why would you want to remove it?).
Have you seen some of the other cars on here where they have blacked out their chrome? Now that would look SAAWEEEEEEET!

 

Welcome aboard - your MINI looks Bad A$$...

Donna

 

hey moodylewdd, if i were to black out some of the chrome, where would you recommend?

also if anyone knows what would be the best pulley, i'd greatly appreciate it if i were to get some tips. thanks :]

 

I really like the look, mostly. I'm just curious that you didn't black out the headlight chrome rings? I think that would complete the effect, like the tail lights. I really like that kind of stipe. I would do that, but my wonderful wifey thinks stripes are for race cars, and doesn't want the cops to think that's what it is! :impatient

 

Welcome and nice looking MINI. The first thing that came to my mind when I was looking at you car, is that it would look BAD with a light bar and the four big lights on them !!!

 

Yeah, I would do the headlight rings to start, and then maybe the beltline. Once you do that, and see how unified it looks, and how it all goes together, I'm guessing that the fuel door, and door handles. I tried to do a search for a particular car I saw on here just a couple months ago. It was all black, and man did that look awesome. Totally changed the whole demeanor of the car. If I find it again, I'll post it. You can go to the gallery and do a search with keywords that may lead you to a photo of a car with blacked out trim. Or...maybe someone will remember whos car was listed previous, and post a photo on this thread. The headlights are a perfect place to start. They look a little too stark with the dark covers on the headlights now. Just my .02 worth....

 

alright, i'm going to black out the trim asap, i own a body shop so it's kind of easy for me to do so. should i black out the gas cap and the door handles as well or will that look too dark?

i think this is the one you were talking about

 

OH, yeah....or should I say 'yeah baby, yeah'! That car is hawt, and it is one of them I was thinking of. That car, and about 2 others that are in the gallery somewhere, (another black, and a DS like yours) are what really makes me second guess the decision I made in getting an Electric Blue like I did.
Dont get me wrong, I love the blue, but the whole attitude thing you got going on with yours is great. Makes me a little envious!
(Especially after someone posted that the lighter blue colors, along with a couple others, were "happy" and "bubbly"....AGGHHH)!
I really think that if you just do the headlight rings now, that you'll end up liking it so much, you'll keep going!

 

OK, I found the thread I was thinking about...check out some of these sweet rides:

heres one with the gas lid done:


and another:


There is a DS like yours on the thread that just blows my mind. Yours is pretty damn close, I know the top is different, but that'll just make it more bad a$$!

 

lol, straight mann :D
