Yesterday, beautiful weather.... today, rain

Anyway, for now, these are the pics that I have
(This first one also shows how D.B. looks Post-TSW springs)



And for comparison....











Oh, and I've e-mailed Mike @ Aesthetic Creations to see if he can do a UJ A-Panel in Frosted Vinyl for us

I think that they look great on your Mini. I'm glad that you posted this though because I was about to order them, and I don't think it's quite the look that I'm going for.

Your roof color and the astro lend perfectly to them, but my jet black with black roof doesn't. I was going to get them to try and black out the chrome, but it has a lot more color than I'd like. I'm going to need to get the AC ones when they're available

Haha, you took the only negative part about my comment!

It looks great on the AB! And I'm impressed that you installed them, I hurt it's a tough task.

I didn't see it as a negative. Quite the opposite, my pics helped you save some $$$ on a mod that wouldn't "float yer boat"

The passenger side wasn't too bad. I think perhaps the 05-06 has a bit more room It only cost me some bruised knuckles and a small amount of blood
I dread the driver's side though. Something tells me that the lock cylinder will provide a new challenge

+1 (or is that 2?). The silver on your car works better with these than just chrome.

+1 Very nice indeed. I have been wanting to do this ever since they came out but wasn't sure how they'd look and to go thru all that work. They really look sweet!
