Before:






Now with painted arches, side grills, front grill, S gas cap, Orciari bonnet vents, tinted tails, different lower grill and de-badged rear, plus a Joey mod. Its a proud day for Daisy.




After:







PS. That is the first and last time I will ever do the gas cap mod myself, PITA. Orciari Vents were tricky too.

 

Your MINI looks Hot ! And those are some great photos too.

Yeah, I have seen the install instructions for swapping out the S cap for a SS flush racing style cap.....it defninately looked to be "involved", and the grill looks a lot better now with center filled in, and completes the front of the car perfectly.

Nice work

 

are u in the process of a total dechrome? I hate chrome wheels,...but urs look amazing.

 

Looks great! Did you do the arches yourself?

 

loooks great

 

Nope. I want to leave some chrome on it, trying to find the right balance. Thanks.

 

I got the body shop to paint everything and they installed the arches, grill and side grills. I did everything else in my garage.

 

Very nice...everything looks like it belongs together!

 

looks good!!!
been considering painting the arches body color tooo

 

Funny how Cooper owners want to do S cap conversions - I want to go the other way for a deleted look. Nice job BTW

 

wow, love how your car looks! where did you get your S gas cap? and how much?

 

Thanks guys. I got the gas cap from outmotoring, it was on sale at the time. Here is the link:

Damn miniman, love the wheels. And Mike S, reminds me of italian job haha, great work on the colour coding.

 

Nice R53 Mike S. Quite the transformation.

I so want to get my black trim painted! Get rid of the crappy looking plastic. I would get it painted black if I had more money to through around.
