Mods done at AMVIV

Just got back from AMVIV, it was a rough drive all the way from the Palace Station to Northwest Las Vegas.

Here are a few pics of the mods I had done at AMVIV
  • Full blackout kit from www.lylesvinylstyles.com
  • Light grey tint on headlights and side marker blinker
  • Dark grey tint on front reflectors












And my favorite 'mod' from AMVIV.



Didn't know to use that tab on the seatbelt to keep it from going down. I was having trouble pulling my seatbelt out each time because there wasn't enough clearance between the door and the seat. Thanks to Chili Cart for help on this one.


Next up: JCW suspension, black license plate frame, satin black door handles

Yeah, I'm waiting to see if they're going to offer the new brakes that are on the factory JCW as a dealer add on. If so I'll probably go that route, if not maybe i'll just have to buy some paint myself.

He had it prewrapped, From what I've seen it looks like he used two pieces of vinyl. He then used a tool to heat seal the edge where the pieces come together.

It was a blast, my favorite part hands down was the Phil Wicks Driving Academy. Highly recommended for all MINI owners. It should be the first performance 'mod' anyone does to their MINI.
