Mine is not an F56 or an S, but I did the black headlight rings, and I think the black grille surround will really pull it together:

yeah, that is too bad

after seeing this, i am wanting to do the same to my VO S. I like the chrome but the blacked out looks aggressive

i have some black out tape that have used on bmw's in the past. going to give that a try for the belt line. I may plastidip and glossify the grill and headlight\taillight rings.

You can wrap it with the 3m black gloss it really close to the blackline trim color MINI uses and gloss.

Here some 3M wrap options and the tool kit for the warp is at the bottom.

Interesting. I think shipping would kill it for me maybe. I can see if I can get a local shop to wrap one or paint one for me.

Looks great! We just took delivery of an all Volcanic Orange S too. It is at our detailer getting color corrected, polished, clear bra, custom stripes, and paint coating. Can't wait to pick it up this weekend. Then to get the windows tinted.

Thank you! I think a more flush would look good. Need to get some spacers!

@ECSTuning do you have the parts and prices for the fibre alloy dash trim? Driver and passenger side. I have a 2014 with the secret compartment cover.
Thanks

Nice, and modes lines up, looks like you have the tint done already.

Yup. 35% tint all around. The only other thing I've done is hidden the wires for my radar detector. I'd hard wire it but I cannot find chassis ground for the life of me.

And, thanks to the bonnet stripes you just shipped me, my R52 will have a matching bonnet very soon...
