Hi, I recently bought a used 2005 MCS and have been looking at pics of Joey mods on here. I thought it would be cool if everyone who has done this mod could post their pics in one thread for everyone to see. Thanks.

 

Projectors joey modded black with headlight ring vinyl wrap by Lyle...

 

Aw dang it... now I'm gonna have to do that. I was gonna go with body colored rings but that just looks GOOD.

 

Whenever you are ready!
Here is mine:

I have the earlier style xenons, did it in satin black, keeping with the silver & black theme, and kept the chrome rings, at least for now.

 

Very nice guys!

 

I wish i had 1grand to drop on switching out my xenons for that style.

 

wow that looks great. i have the older style like your's as well. i plan on doing this soon!

 

definately not the extent of the other drivers but i did it myself and i personally consider it a "joey mod"

 

LOL! nice though!

 

anyone have a detailed write up of how this was done? did you bake it in the oven to release the seal on the lens?

 

Dark Silver rings and matt Dark Silver internals

 

Nice job, I like the slight matt color difference

 

The joey mods on the light parts really give the MINI a different look

 

Dang -- pobsey, that looks awesome!
Very classy looking with the body color (that's colour to you) grill

 

Nicest Joey Mod I've seen thus far. Looks SICK! Love the matte DS to contrast a bit.

 

here's mine!! wrapped the rings myself with semi-gloss black
and internals are painted pepper white..they look awesome at night..








sorry for not having many angles..i took a quick picture but my car was sitting infront of a bay door..(so only side shots for now..)
oh...and sorry for the crappy pics..i dont have as nice cameras as some of you have..

 

From a distance...



I put a vinayl ring around my chrome rings...it looked good for a while, but couldnt make em stick good...

Just put a new hood so the look is completely different...ill post pics when I get some good ones.

If i had to do it over, I wouldnt...what a pain in the a$$ IMHO.

 

yeah it is...gotta unscrew everything and then unplug stuff then carefully take off the chrome rings and then carefully take it apart then take out the chrome part and then do everything in reverse..
BUT..in the end..it's definitely worth it..

 

Hey, I saw your car at the Alta grand opening. I was the guy making this face It looks incredible, and I have to say that It pretty much sealed the deal on me doing this mod. I have an R56 and found that it REALLY helps to tone down the oversized headlight look on the 2nd gen car. I don't think the pics really do it justice. But here are a few of my own. I painted my trim pieces with the rattle cans that minspeed sells. I'm not quite done with my blackout mods...the chrome must go!

 

Very very nice!! What a sexy MINI!! Simple but so sophisticated at the same time

 

OMG ive really gotta do this on my 04. it makes the front end look SO much better! i love it!

i have the older style headlamps as well
