I like it!! They need to black the door handles, gas cap, probably the scuttles, and cooper letters for the full effect..Might as well do the MINI emblems front and back as well..

I don't know how about I feel about the matching body color on the light surrounds.... but if they black the rest of the accents out like N2MINI suggested, maybe it would be easier to handle =/

IMO the latest fad blackout and/or Plastidip all the chrome (or body color it) isn't that great looking. I think some chrome looks good on the car. IMO the thing painted body color that looks the best are the black plastic wheel arches. But that costs about $2000 so hardly anyone does it.

The new headlight doesn't help the look of the car at all. That fake looking Angel Eye ring is the pits. Not sure if you "joey mod" it if that can be painted black or not.. The black headlights would help it a lot..

Thx. I was just looking to swap out the chrome headlight/taillight surrounds, which I think looks pretty good. The rest is a bit much for me.

I do like the thick double stripe though.

if someone makes a vinyl in the body color they could run stripes across the roof..

Alien press has a bunch of 2014 parts in Orange, including interior trim and headlight trim. I'd buy it as opposed to having them painted but I have my doubts that it'll be a match.

Edit: that's aliexpress. Autocorrect at its best.

It looks like a Fiat 500 without the contrasting headlight rings.

Not a fan of the F56 headlights. I'm sure the LED is good lighting, they just don't enhance the look of the car like mine. They have "factory Joey mod" which wasn't an option on the F56 for some reason. And the two turrets for the BiXenon look great.
