I havent tried but I would like to get the trim painted to match the body. I can send it to my mom and have her paint it but that would be at least a week with out it, the question I have is. Do the side skirts seal the doors? My car is a daily driver so I can not garage it.

 

there was someone doing their car entirely black...

 

So maybe I wasnt clear with my question. Will the doors seal with out the side skirts?

 

Your taking them off?


Or just painting them?

Thank you to DrDrumanBass for the pic

 

Want to paint them. I can get my mom to paint them for cheap but have to ship them to her. I have to drive the car everyday and will take at least a week to get it painted and back.

 

Ahh, ok. Well, I don't know about that. It looks like where the door seals is part of the side skirt.

Ok thanks for the info. I guess I will just have to either get a spare set of side skirts or go visit my mom.

 

Buy some aero skirts and send those to her with your other parts

 

so is it okay to run around without the fender trims?
I am considering doing the same.

 

I wouldnt see a problem with the finder trim as long as the Side marker lights are secured. But it is looking like it is a no go to drive around without the side skirts. So I may have to order a new set. I am thinking about doing what Pir8 97 said.

 

That has GOT to be one of the best looking MINIs I have seen.


I hate that.


I thought mine was the best looking one out there...
