Euro-t, I really love how your scoop grill color matches the mirror caps and A-pillar graphics...very sharp and a real attention-getter. It even ties in the side markers.

I guess since my MINI falls into this thread category I'll throw in a pic...

Looks good. I wasn't sure how much of a contrast the black would have against the purple. I know the black stripes I have seen on purple didn't show up very well. And your pic reminds me of how much I want an aero kit...

Thanks

Got the CPR paint and Dupont Clear Coat from Pete in FL at Minspeed.

As far as the scoop goes, there is a rubber flap just inside opening that is removable, pops in and out. I just took it out, cleaned it really good with alchohol prep wipes, and shot it with some CPR paint.....

I put a 4.5" LED strip from OZ ( 5 bucks ) inside the top of scoop behind the lip (comes with 3M tape ) and painted the Intercooler cover silver as well, At night when parking lights come on, there is a nice mellow red color eminating from inside scoop.........Like a lava lamp.....lol.

What I really have to get is a set of rims w/chrome lip like yours. That look is awesome. Tough these days to save up for stuff like that with two kids......
