I am in the process of getting rid of all the ugly chrome from my 2012 midnight black, show me your blacked out minis!!!!

 

2009 Astro Black Metallic MCS aka, TACKLEBERRY

 

Here's my JCW Coupe! I'm still deciding which way I want to go with the Door handles (CF overlay or matte black)! Just an unrelated note: The car has been lowered in the first two pics which were taken recently. The last two pics were taken before I dropped the Coupe.

 

Here' mine

 

See post #2 for my updated pics.

 

Not exactly blacked out but dechromed.

 

De-chromed and mostly blacked out. OEM JCW wheels powder coated flat black.

Looks Good!

Don't shoot me, I really liked your CCW's better

 

looks perfect! i'd love to get the same wheels for my blacked out black roadster..

 

Trust me I hear that all the time still. People still can't believe I sold the wheels. But I'm content with the new look and especially enjoy the days of drive without rubbing the crap outta my front fenders.

But...18s are in the future plans again. :D

 

Seeing as you only put top dollar shiz on your rig, what did you have in mind?????????

 

New pics with new carbon fiber goodies (CARBONMINI Headlight Trim Overlays, CARBONMINI CARBONPRO door inserts, and CARBONMINI Fuel Filler Trim Overlay).

 

18" Advan RZ or RS wheels. They would be my everyday "show" wheels.

Wanna keep the Volks as track-only wheels.

 

NICE! I like the RS

 

Mine is on the cover of issue #38 of MC2 magazine.

 

Black tail pipes are next...

 

There's some gorgeous mini's in here!

 

What are you guys using to black out the door handles and gas cap? I asked a local shop who does vinyl covers when I got my windows tinted by them, and was told he wouldn't feel comfortable vinyl wrapping the handles or gas cover in fear the wrap would peel to easily. I have considered plastidipping, but would prefer to find a black cover or something but have been unable to find them from google searches

 

One of the forum vendors does some great work with vinyl. Lyle something or other?

 

Lyle did all of mine (door handles, scuttles, headlight trim and tail light
trim) You can reach him at www.vinylstyles.com He is the best!

 

I used the carbon fiber overlays from CARBONMINI.

Where do I find the black grill? I can get the Head light and tail light replacement rings. I am also thinking of doing the rear trunk handle in Carbon fiber as well as the door handles. The big deal for me is the front grill. Thanks.
