MiniMo - you running a dealership out of your garage hahaha Nice selection.
Surprise the Lambo isn't white.
Yeah I don't agree on the RFs sucking. But won't go down that road (again inviting every troll on this site to hammer me) hahaha Each his own. Love mine.

Yeah runflats suck! For winter snow tires I had to go to RFs because I don't want to be stuck in middle of the road trying to plug a hole. Better safe than sorry. For spring and summer I'm back to my NME wheels and Michelin PSS non-runflats to get the best handling in the dry. Will order a 3rd set of wheels in 17" with Dunlop DZII sticky non-runflats for dedicated auto crossing and track days. No one auto crosses with runflats...that's just silly ;-)
Car is running like a champ and all my mods are great! Not a single problem at all whatsoever so I'm very happy. Only thing is mild clunking over bumps with the rear ST XTA coilovers but to be expected with aftermarket coilovers really...metal in metal does that.
Now it's into winter season and many washes later, not single problem with the plasti-dip anywhere! Proven highly durable so dispels any naysayer ;-)
Just picked up a brand new white 2016 Porsche Macan S with rich red leather, red stitching and optional red gauge faces. I'm going to plasti-dip the chrome rear emblems soon in my heated garage ;-)
Had the Macan S fully covered with Xpel Ultimate clear film like all my cars and front windows tinted. Such a blast to drive and so sporty! Fast as hell for an midsize SUV. Don't mess with Macan S or Macan Turbo on the freeway. They'll spank you good in your Minis since they both have twin turbos ;-) I already smoked a couple of JCWs in my Macan S and a Subaru STi up to 125 mph.
Used the Plasti Dip on my scuttles, MiniMofo and it came out rough. Not a smooth coat like you show on your badges with the Lambo and Porsche. What's up?

Yes the JCW is my daily driver and has almost 15K miles now. Lambo never sees rain. Just depends on weather, mood, and purpose I guess.
No problem on the Plasti dip. YouTube is your friend and how I learned to do it.
Handles? I just bought the black plastic handle covers from CarLab. 60 bucks. Looks way better than Plasti Dip.

If you want, you can spray 1 or 2 thin layers of the clear glossifier to protect the black/colored plasti dip. It's not a complete gloss if only a couple coats but more of a satin finish. The more layers the glossier it gets. I didn't glossify all the black parts, just the red front brake ducts.
