Thanks guys!

Mirrors are craftsquares from Japan.

Arches seem to be holding up just fine. A bit tricky to get the vinyl to tack though.
It's real fun trying to keep white clean

looks great! I've been toying with this idea myself. What would it cost to wrap a whole car like that?

We can create a matte metallic blue. Shoot me a PM, I can send you a few samples.

A full wrap runs about $4k. A cabrio about $3500

Did you do the doorjambs as well? or did you leave those black?
I was thinking of a white wrap and cutting it so I'd have hyper blue sport stripes not anything I'll be doing soon though

Door jams are body color (Indi blue), the black was a wrap as well.

We could lay some hyper blue stripes over the wrap, that would be easier than trying to cut them out of the vinyl and have the body color show through.

Great work brutha! All, I've seen this car in-person & from every conceivable angle. These pictures don't do the quality of work & "alpine whiteness" justice. The rims are clutch too, btw.

looks really good!!

i thought about doing mine that style after seeing Act_04's car but decided to do a less agressive look with some plasti-dip so it is easily reversible.

I took a second look at those pics, and it's a good thing I don't live close to you Lyle...my bank account would be suffering . Great work, I have always liked a true white on Minis.

$4k... I'm not a but that seems right in the ballpark for a new paint job. Why not just get it painted? Don't get me wrong, I love the car/look, but that figure would be hard to justify to the pentagon (aka my wife) I can see the look on her face now .

A matte black paint job runs $4500+

It's cheaper than a paint job, it doesn't depreciate the value of your car, completely reversible, easy to maintain, looks better than paint.
