Has anyone here done something like this? If so, would you mind posting pictures? I would like to see what it would look like black on black. Thanks.

 

Subscribing ...Im looking to do the same thing to my CMS4 when it finally arives!

This video has a black CMS with matte black stripes. Although the look a bit metallic at certain angles.

The anticipation..... I am hoping someone who has done it already will reply back with photos. The black looks great but am thinking it may need something else. Been thinking about tinting my windows too.

 

Yeah, my plan is to do matte black with a thin red stripe on the outside much like the picture below. Ill be doing the windows at 20% all around.

 

Wow.... looks like most of the car is in matte black. You are planning on changing the bumper etc. to matte black too? This picture looks hot. From what I understand matte black is the new black. I just wanted the strips to be matte black. When you get your CMS4 all done, please forward pics.

 

I only plan on doing the stripes in matte black...for now!
Eventually I will put on the JCW body kit. Finding that picture is what really made up my mind to get the CMS4!!!

 

Here is a picture from the galleries with matte black stripes, not on AB
but a good look at matte.

 

I saw an R53 in person last year... black with mat black stripes. It looked pretty smart.

 

No pics yet, but I'll have it in about 2 weeks time if all goes well. I plan wide matte black viper stripes with narrow red outer stripes. I'll post pics.

 

Still would like to see AB with the matte black stips. But thank you for all your feed back.

 

Here you go. Not my car but close...

 

Here's another example, again not my car.

 

tatacountry, thanks. Now were talking. Both look pretty cool. I really like the matte black stips on the hood. The one with the red outline looks cool too. Any pics of the boot with matte stips? LOL. I never thought about not being able to strip the roof because of the sun roof. Thanks again for your efforts.

 

Here's the video you need of the car up in post #11, a local car here and sweet! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkSax..._order&list=UL

 

OMG..... this is exactly what I was looking for. It looks hot! Now the question is can I still do this to my 2011 CMS4? Thanks day-like-this!

 

thanks for this. i was wanting to do the thin red with thick matte black as well and this pic just sold me. can't wait for the weather to warm up so i can pull the trigger.

 

I'm loving the black on black. Now I wish mine was black. Oh well.
At one time I wished I had a pepper white.
I guess I'll be satisfied with my sparkling silver.
Just happy to own a Mini.

 

Okay new question..... where are you getting your strips from and who is installing them? MINI? I know the strips are vinyl and am wondering if anyone had gotten them painted on? Vinyl vs. Paint strips?

 

I order mine from www.cutritefx.com.
They have many designs, are very reasonable, and they ship quick. I believe they are located in N. Carolina.

I had a guy up the street that does auto body work install my side stripes for $40 (both sides). I did the bonnet and boot stripes. I watched him do the side stripes and he cleans and wets the surface with soapy water, removes the backing and slides the vinyl where he wants it than smooths it out with a small flexible body filler pad. Looked easy enough and it was. Just have to take your time.

 

Thanks drsimmons.... I checked the site out and yes, pretty reasonable price. I use to work in the sign business and know how to apply the vinyl to the car but would feel more comfortable having someone else do it for me. I am sold vinyl is the way to go. I may even decide to do something else with the graphics instead of strips.

 

I posted that video in the very first reply!

 

Find a local vinyl stripe shop. Use Google Maps to search in your area.

 

I never thought about putting stripes on my CM, but after seeing that video, I really want to now..

 

Oooppsy.... Sorry about that 52804. I missed it.

Bf seems to think paiting is a better choice than vinyl even though vinyl you can easily take it off if you want a change. Painting will cost more than vinyl. Oh well I will have to spec it out.

 

Any more images available of this car?
