My black'd-out MINI
 

Hi motorers,

I've got my car back from the paintshop a few days ago and finally got all the "parts" to get my black'd-out project...

I still have to receive the fog lights grills for the Aero bumper...

I got the following painted "flat black" at the paintshop:
- Headlight rings
- Door handles
- Gas door
- Mirror caps

And got these from UPS:
- OutMotoring beltline kit
- Lamin-X headlights/turn signals/fog lights gunsmoke films

:razz:

Very sharp! I like it!

Looks really nice. Are they halogens or xenons?

Thanks

They are xenons

Looks great! How much did it cost??

$400 including front bumper's paint, which is not bad IMO...

The Lamin-X films were $45, and the beltline kit is $12.

it would look a LOT more black if your car was black..:lol:
but very nice looking mini. :nod:

Are those the original headlight rings, just painted? How hard was it to get the rings off?

I like it, looks good.

Yes they are the original rings, but I have no idea how to remove them lol (the paintshop did it)

The lamin-x film over the headlights looks good, but how does it affect the lighting at night? I plan on blacking out more of my MINI when I get the chance. I really want to make it faster first....but I'm tired of having "just another stock-looking MINI"!!!!!!!!!

Great job! Awesome look :nod:

Very Nice.:thumbsup: I really like the dark silver minis that get the stealth treatment. Blacking them out looks so sick. What kind of wheels do you have on their?
Thanks, Chris.

Thats the sexiest DS MINI I've ever seen.

Thanks for the good comments!

The wheels are 18" RH, but I can't remember the model...

The lighting is still very good. The films are a bit darker, but with the xenons, it is still very good. I'd say there is maybe 5-10% less light going through, which is not bad. :nod:

U missed the wings! lol....looks great!

The logo and the white stripes down the sides of the hood stripes. ;) Looks pretty cool though.

Love it!

just inspired me to paint my rings around my headlights flat black

Oooh, VERY nice!!!!!
