Awesome! I love the black gas cap and I'll look forward to seeing it with the matching black door handles and modified side vent.

Definitely "kool"

Looks real nice! Personally, I like the chrome on my car, but that looks awesome on the Dark Silver. I wonder how it would look with the rest of the grille blacked out as well as the rally lights and headlight bezels?

the grille of couse was painted
and so was the hood scoop, i kept the dark silver one in case i don't like the black one when i put the stripes back on
the gas cap is powder coated
the door handles are plastic, so i'm having them painted black
once i notch out the black Cooper finishers (side vents) to accept the red "S" i might paint those a gloss black to match everything else

I agree...

Kool... if your painter can do the fender flares as well...give me a hollar... maybe we can get a deal on doing (2) cars ??????
There's a bunch of people here who are opting to not do my cars fender flares due to ... cracking problems....
I'll do it if..... someone is willing to tackle it

Peace,
D

the mounting tabs for the flares break very easily, so if you do it yourself be careful :smile:

now that i look at, if you just did all that rubber/plastic stuff on the rocker panels and the front and rear bumper, giving you a two tone look, would be sweet

that's how ~sugar~'s cooper is, and it's hot

Koolmini,

Is that the Lamin-X film on your tail lights? It doesn't look as dark as others I have seen. I can still see some red of the lights through the film, nice car by the way
