Finally had a chance to finish off

looks great btw peter! great lookin product, but now i think its missing something.......

also, do you guys think i should set the license plate holder back up to the original spot or keep it at its lowest setting....

*note im still on winters, my summer wheels'd be on in a week or so*

 

Try a pic w/o flash - might help show it off better instead of lighting through it

 

i tried that, but my garage is pretty dark

 

Doh! Well it looks good from what I can see

 

Looks good but I wanna see a pic from further away and outside. Please.

Looks very nice!

 

yea i noe wat u mean ..it will grow on ya!! i wouldnt have it any other way now, especially since all that chrome that came off is cheap plastic
did u paint tha background black?(flat)

put it back, is my vote

 

 

Thanks much... Still not quite outside but it gives me another perspective. I'm so undecided on grills.

check my gallery theres two old pix. of them outside...side shoots tho!
i dont like the colour of my car out in tha sunlight so i tend to do more dark photos!!

 

is still raining and everything here, ill have to wait till the sun comes out, and my summers back on to do a final analysis... but it matches well with the rest of the car...

now im thinking of a giant 14' black stripe down the middle matching the hoodscoop.... what do you guys think?

thanks joker.. no i didnt paint the background... i guess without the sun its difficult to judge whether i want to paint it or not yet...

 

Thanks. Now that I see those I know I've seen that car before.

Hmmm... I still don't know...

What color stripe kryiian?

im diggin black stripe down the middle.. but would love to keep the car as clean lookin as possible.... either black or cf pattern, but the real cf on the m7 scoop to the fake vinyl cf may look a bit....

 

Yeah... I wouldn't go with the fake CF vinyl. It's always too perfect of a pattern vs. real CF. I'd go black and if you want to do it, I'd go all they way across the whole car down the bottom of the front bumper and to the bottom of the back. I'd do it just as wide as the scoop.

there is a metal or metal like material u can print on to make it look like CF big money tho!!

 

One wide stripe, huh? I think it would be better to go with something like this from Cooperflags. Unlike the photo, I would start it at the back of the scoop, rather than have it go down the front of the car (but that's just me).

 

Yeah, stopping at the scoop could be hot too.

I too would like to see a pic like this...

I've been looking at all kinds of grill options, and would really like to see this.
Thanks!

 

its raining out STILL here, but i moved the car outside to do some pics... still on winters unfortunately...




also moved the license plate back where it was... i think it really does look better there...

from a distance, the car looks great and clean, but i still think that stripe that starts at the hoodscoop to the roof, but then fades into white would be very nice...

 

Looking good! I like your stripe idea, too.

Tell me, are the Ultimate Grills as see-through in person as they are in photos? When you look at the car, do you find it easy to see what is behind the grilles? (I have a PW MCS, so it would be even more noticeable on my car.)

Thanks

 

yes they are!!
on a white MINI u would be forced to black out everythin' behind tha grilles..

 

Thanks for the reply. I guess will continue my wait for The Perfect Replacement Grille...

 

i also recommend painting behind the grilles. Thats what i did with mine. With the color of your car it isn't as noticable as mind which is EB. The electric blue really stood out behind the grilles and looked really funny.
