Nice color, very rich compliments the PW well. I'd like to see it carried out elsewhere on the car too.

(Perhaps its the lighting but the mirror caps look darker then CR?)

People like the CR caps on your car but give the JCW GP crap for having them. hehe

I think its a nice accent.

I was thinking the same thing, and trying to imagine what small part(s) would compliment the car. Initial thoughts were the wheels or air scoop (easy mods, especially the scoop). But my visual didn't agree. Then it hit me, the roof in CR! That would look awesome.

I have been Pro Red mirror caps for a long time!! i Painted a set Chili Red for MSFITOY (Sid) at least a year and a half ago. he ran them for about 3 to 4 weeks then wanted smaller mirrors. he them sold them to a Indi blue car in town that will be running them this year at the dragon. i have also had other customers want the same type thing. i forsee more cars going with the red mirror caps once the GP car comes out. I'll even go out on a limb and say this may be the next trend in MINI Styles.

Yours look VERY good!!!

But my wife said, that it looked like you had been in a wreck and did not have the $$ to get the right color mirrors...

Oh, well I like them

Sorry but I agree. kinda looks like when someone drives around with a primered door that has yet to be painted to match the car. Maybe if you had a bit more red to tie the mirrors in.

Anyway who cares what I think. Paint your mini neon blue w/lime green polka dots if that's what makes you happy, that's all that matters
