Debadged and Blacked out
 

Alright so I debadged the CooperS and blacked out the MINI wings. I also painted the rear control arms.

This is a huge help. just pry the wings off

The wings will leave holes. 2 in the back and 3 in the front like this

Looks pretty cool :cool:

thanks trinity

Good work there familiarstranger!
It's a great compliament in color with your MCS!

Wow....nice job. I really like it on that color! :nod: :thumbsup:

howd you put them back on?

I like the look.
Now I have another item on the list of things to do. How will I ever get caught up.

to take them off I used the sticker lifter in the first pic. It comes with some goo be gone that you can squirt on. then just pried it off with the given device. to put them back on I used some all purpose 3M adhesive

Looks great, now drop that 4X4! :wink:
:thumbsup:

Thats the nezt step. Just not sure if i want to go with springs or coilovers. but I assure you i am dropping it! :thumbsup:

that's a pretty niffty idea. think i'll paint mine white

RUC, If you wanted to do some good masking work I think it would be really cool if you did the circle in white and then alternated the high and low parts of the wings in red and white. I dont know if that makes sense without looking. anyway post pics if and when you do!

Looks great! Way to do something original....

That does look good :thumbsup:

Excellent job on the black badges, now how about that chrome around the taillights? And get rid of that chrome license frame. :grin:

:grin: thanks Robin! Chrome is number one on my hit list so all those things are going soon

is that matte black or glossy?

matte

:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Looks Great!

Did you use any primer on the wings or just the black?
Ive been trying to figgure out how to do this for a while.
Looks great !!

I sanded them but no primer. I suggest Duplicolor's spray paint for plastics.

where did you get your googon kit, pep boys did not have it.

that might be cool but a little hard to do. i'll see how easy it is to mask. will def post pics if/when it's done :thumbsup:

yea, it would be a little more difficult but rewarding.

Thlaxx I got my goo be gone kit at autozone

thanks, ill head out today and post pictures of how it went.
