Some new pics of the MINI

My MINI just got out of the body shop, so I though it would be appropriate to put up some pics. There was only one small problem. I upgraded to the Aero front bumper, but they painted the black trim! ARGHH! Oh well. This just means that I will have to have the rest painted!

Looks nice, but I think you forgot the upper part of the aero grill .

It will look much better with all the plastic trim painted.

If I were you, I would convince the body shop to paint all the trim for a signifncant discount because of their error.

And as said above, go ahead and get the rest of the aero grille. . .

Another idea...if it is within your budget - get some aero skirts too! It gives the car a much more "sporty" look, IMO. Either way, yours is looking pretty nice in its current form - just needs the painted arches to match .

Alrighty. Heres the plan.

On monday, I'll call the body shop and get an estimate for painting the trip. I'll also get the aero grille installed sometime next week!

Get the upper aero grill, and paint the plastic trims.

It will look awesome!

bt, paint the part behind the lower aero grill black... It looks odd painted blue.
