You like? Hadn't seen anyone do this yet and thought it might look cool.

 

stylish. i like.

 

That looks great! Nice work on the paint job.

 

I used 320 grit sandpaper on the stock covers' raised black lettering, then put on several coats of "plastic friendly" paint (Krylon Fusion)using a very small paintbrush. Pretty easy really. Took maybe an hour doing it carefully with several coats.

K -- might look pretty good on an IB/B combo too

 

Very nice!!!

 

Very nice! Here's what I did to my old covers

Ken.

 

That's cool too! Do you have a close up shot.

 

sorry guys ..i'm kinda new @ this but ....i heard that the driving lights w/o a cover is illegal in California? does anyone know if that's true??

 

I think this car is begging for some union jack or checkered mirror caps!

 

I must have a close up, I'll have to look. Thanks

The mirror caps--that's a great idea. But she ain't mine anymore! I recently got a survey call from MINI about work done to her, and they said she's now in Baton Rouge.

Anyone on here have an IB 02 Cooper, bought after August 2005?

 

I've been driving mostly like this for 3 years in Cali w/o a problem...

 

vinyl cut would definitly be the better alternative on this application. but if you like the look of paint then, go for it!

on another note i need to get some of those driving lights, they look nice and very fitting on the mini

 

I like 'em! Painted lamp covers are cool. Here are mine that I personalized...

 

Most excellent! Great job.

 

Thanks!

 

+1 helps bring the white out with the stripes.
