I'm slowly but surely blacking out my 06 Cabrio... started with the front grille in vinyl and then moved to the side markers, tail lights (Lamin-X film), side-marker lamps (blackout spray), black roll bar covers, mirror caps and now the beltline... Even my driving lamps are black. I'll leave a few chrome accents just for contrast...

I'm 39, so I ALMOST count...

 

You should get some black Side marker S decals from me

Looking good though

 

Well, moss put the abs wiper cowl scoops on sale. Naturally I bought them... Im in trouble with the lady now, but Im looking forward to gettin them. Might just put one on since the passenger side one would just cool my Alta oil catch can... But tha could look bad... Im not too sure yet, but ill get them Thursday and figure it out. I dunno if it will make a difference but now tha i have my scan guage i guess ill find out. if not styling never hurt

 

de-chromed:

 

I lived there for 21...and ain't never going back except to visit the family.

 

Where did you live in Kansas ?

Granted, some parts of the state are.... ummm.... remote. But I lived in Wichita (twice) and thought it was a fine city. Not too big, not too small. Lots of stuff to do. Crime rate not bad (as long as you stayed away from the North Central area), and easy to ride a bike because there are no hills .

 

You know what they say about "almost", Matt. Sorry, but you help prove my point.

By the way, even though I dislike black-out, you still have one of my favorite MINIs.

 

Yeah - one more year, and Matt's gonna put all that chrome back on, rip out all the !@#$ blue lights, start wearing seersucker, and pull his waistband up just below his nipples.

Nostrablimey foretells it...

 

I bet he's already planning his trips to LL Bean and Chrome-R-Us.

Won't be a tough transition for him. He still has chrome hinges, headrests, door handles, boot handle, and headlight surrounds.

 

Splitter/Longacres support/custom blackout headlamps/CF mirrors/Ram Intake/Moss Angel Eyes/Whalen JCW brake ducts/TMS tow hook/PIAA fogs...

Clear lamps/R56 fogs/LED conversion/custom blackout facia...

 

Um.... dude. I'm the one that suggested that you make domed "S" inserts and I got mine from you in red. Then you used one of my images in your marketing:



But if you want to send me another set as a thank-you, I'll check them out.

 

i was gonna say the aero grill conversion.
