"shadowline"

"Shadowline"



Hi MINI lovers!

It seams like most MINI lovers want as much chrome as possible, but I dont, I would love my MCS to be without all the chrome. ( doorhandels , and gas lid is OK )
I have already changed the frontgrille to black, but I would love to get rid of the chrome around the headlamps, and of course the chrome"line" that goes around the whole car(below the windows).
Why is that in chrome, and the top one in black?
My opinion is the darker a MINI becomes the more "cruel and aggresive " it gets.
Never seen a Golf GTI with tons of chrome................................

Back in Black

Therefore, do you know anyone making or selling the above mentioned "chrome details" but in black???
Anyone else thinking the way I do????????

Looking so much forward hearing from U all

VBR

Hi & welcome to the forum. The chrome line around the car, you may want to look at this thread: "Blacking out the beltline" https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ad.php?t=40154

I am also interested in blacking out the chrome around the headlamps as well.

Thank you so much for the lead, great knowing there are more having the same taste and ambition.
The only problem is that in Spain, where I live, they do not sell TrimBrite,
and Amazon wont ship it to me, so I am a bit stuck.

Back in Black.............................

And please keep me up to date with future "blackening"

Have a great day
