My headlight rings are plastidipped, and the headlight housing is painted semi-gloss black. I know it's not exactly what you are looking for, but I thought this might help a little.

Sorry that it's not focused specifically on the headlight, this is the closest thing I've got to a headlight picture:

Thanks! We close on our VA home June 23rd, then close on our Belleair, FL home four days later. We are so busy! The house has a view of Clearwater Bay and we're about a five minute drive from the Gulf beaches, just over the causeway.

I don't know, Dave. A nice cold winter in Chicago sounds so much more appealing.

Congrats to you and your family and enjoy. You deserve it.

I'll be happy to post pictures once we arrive in Belleair. It seems so surreal. We have been planning this for years. Now the moment has arrived, its still hard to believe...

I grew up on Cleveland's East side about a mile off off Lake Erie. I know what Chicago-like weather is like. Great reason to live in Florida!

Very nice! I have the JCW exterior package on my Roadster S, so I fully appreciate the look.

Hey PW clan! I'd like to request #0630 for my wife's PWB 2010 MC with black top & sunroof and #0108 for my 2013 PWB coupe. We're gluttons for punishment I think. We bought the 2010 Justa for her Christmas last year and I got my MC coupe a few days ago. Gotta' go out of town for my 50th HS reunion this week-end so pix will follow sometime next week after we clean the little buggers.

I'm in the process of painting my headlight rings. I did my best to have them match the paint, but eh I can deal with it; it's only a little bit off. In direct sunlight you can't even notice the difference

Here's another shot. I have to bake my lights in the oven later to have them sit flush on the hood. I don't think I heated it enough to have everything seal perfectly when I did the joey-mod.

Hi everyone! My wife and I just ordered a beautiful Pepper White Hardtop with black rood, black stripes, and black cosmos spoke wheels. It is our first Mini. My wife has always wanted one but we've been busy driving our current cars into the ground. After 8 years we're getting a new car. Actually is it going to be hers. We ordered the car Wed but as some of you might know, Hardtop orders with the Harman Kardon have to be dealt with on a case by case basis. In the 2 days it took to get the H/K approved that car went into product... so they picked the next car in their June allocation and set it up just like that one but with the H/K. So our dealer will have two cars coming on the same truck nearly identical, but ours will have the H/K. So there will be a nicely equipped Pepper White sitting on the lot for sale..... minus the H/K!

Minted-Rose.... we'd like #712 if we can. Thanks for managing this list.

As promised above...

Ladies and Gents of NAM, it is my honor to introduce to you the newest residents of our household. Both belong to the "Peerage Pepperwhite". On the left is Florrie #0630, hereafter always known as "Pet" and on the right, her spouse Andy-Capp #0108.

Although born in Britain, they have travelled extensively in the US for the past few years. They both have some German heritage too and now have agreed to reside in Florida with us.

Andy-Capp is rambunctious and loves a pint or two every evening at the pub, but Pet will always make sure that the only trouble that finds him will be after he gets home!

They are both quite spry for their age and size, but very reliable and easy on the pocket while consuming the nectar of the gods.

Andy-Capp is quite recognizable with that distinctive topper that he always keeps pulled down low.

So if you are ever in our part of Florida and spy Andy-Capp or Pet, pip your horn. They will be pleased to stop and chat and probably arrange to meet down the pub later.
