Plastidip: Headlight Rings, Tail Light Rings, Upper & Lower Grill Surrounds, Scuttles, belt line tape, smoked side reflectors, shorty antenae...oh yeah and seafoam treatment through the pcv hose.
That's a lot of Plastidip. Did you remove the parts or mask?
Installed the Alta end links 3 days ago and developed REALLY annoying screeching noise. Thankfully just had to tighten all connections and it disappeared. Off and running!
Today I Installed a DDM Intercooler diverter. I also used some caliper paint on the IC Boot Straps as well as cleaned out the oil from inside the IC. After that, I replaced the drivers side A-pillar trim as the old one had cracked. Things are coming together nicely.
BTW I also listed a few things in the Gen1 Marketplace.

Ok, so I sport white Mini 17" rims with Continental non runflat tires for everday use. Today I mounted 16" black Mini wheels with new Yokohama tires for a track event this weekend. I think it looks more aggressive than the white wheels.

I actually think the white looks 10x more aggressive on your car for some reason. But still great looking car

It looks great both ways. The black rims lend a distinction that I really like
Don't get me wrong, I love my car with the white wheels, but the black wheels look more masculine and aggressive. I also covered the little center cap with red vinyl and then the word "MINI" in white vinyl to tie it in with the rest of the car.
