New Mini Owner - Facelift Pre and Post Pics
Just bought my first Mini S. 2005.

Used Plasticoat for the first time and loved it.
Changed the wheels.
Added a rack for my skis!

So far so good!

I also changed the back lights to led, off ebay and painted the exhausts black as well as the chrome trunk release cover.

Thanks!
Yes. It was really easy and pretty fool proof. Any excess peals right off. I even did a bit of my other car. Changes the look a lot and supposedly you can always reverse it.
