What about painting the headlight rings black, or bodycolor?

I like that lower splitter a lot... Is that part of the "PW Joey" MOD? Sorry to ask - I've never heard of it...

I thought about body color but my theme needs some chrome to keep it "real"...

Black? Not for me...it looks like a racoon on light colored Minis

The term "Joey Mod" refers to the painting of the interior headlight bits I believe it began with the VW guys

Ah, OK thanks. never heard that term before. I still like that splitter, though.

I'll keep an eye our for some spare headlamps (sounds too risky to do with my actual lamps)... I think this MOD would look great with the interior parts painted a dark gray metallic color rather than my body color.

Again all of these look awesome. Im stalking sets of headlights so i can get a backup set to do this to. Do you guys think it's easier on non-xenons?

and are the non-xenon lights that much cheaper?

Dave: Thanks again for the pics. They look great as usual.

(btw: I have calmed down and have come to grips with the results of Sat.)

Oy Vey! I can't believe the offset on those wheels! And you've solved my problem about what spacers to get - 8mm for sure seeing how much those 15mm spacers push the wheels out. They are outside the body--woohoo.
Love the Joey mod--I just can't see myself explaining to my wife what the headlights are doing in the oven... Honey, I baked my MINI--I read about on NAM (she hates all of you already, btw!)

laughing...

But too much is not. That's where people often make mistakes with MINI's, they go over the top IMO...
