I just ran across this...wondering how it would look.

Anybody have pictures of this on a blue MINI? Any color MINI?

 

I'm a little bit concerned that they list that kit as being applicable for *all* MINIs. If I remember correctly, the chrome strip on the R56/R55 is a little bit wider than it was on the first-gen cars.

 

Read it again

"Please note on the Gen 2 MINI, the beltline grew (yes, it did get fatter) in both directions as a result the tape is slightly wider so please select the correct model."

In the dropdown box you pick your model.

 

Ah, missed that. Thanks!

What size do I need for an R53?

 

Email or call them for a sample pack and catalogue. Nice folks.

 

1/2" for the R53

 

Couldnt find an up to date pic so imagine black wheels or get me a new pic and I'll repost.

Blue coming up!!!

 

Blue baby, you guys need updated pics.

 

wow that is an old picture...just look at all that chrome lol. I just realized I dont really have an up to date picture, but this one is the closest i have right now...

 

Looks like someones placing an order at Outmotoring tomorrow. This looks great.



You could always buy 1/4" red and 1/4" black stripes so the red is a lil less menacing and law both down the beltline. That would be the cats ****

 

That's funny...actually I do have have more current pictures...@Smugmug

 

its funny how i did this years ago as a test look on my MINI before i decided to paint the beltline red... lol

 

Man you guys have some nice minis, speaking of updated pics I cant even fin any pics of my car so I'm not helping. Although I'll have the blackout belt kit by the end of the week on my PW/B 04 MCS

Boom Ta-dow

 

That's cool. Best thing is if it doesn't work I can just peel it back off!

 

I bought and removed the Outmotoring tape, not becasue it was bad but I messed up the install. I want to try your suggestion but...what red is basic red? I want to match the red on my car but they use marketing names with no picture...

Ideas

 

For help on the install of the tape, I wrote a tutorial, with lots of pics here:

Hope it helps out.

 

It was the lack of understanding that there was a clear tape on top that needed to be removed. It got ugly over time, and thinking the tape was bad, I removed it. It was only after that that I realized I screwed up.

Thanks

 

You can get a whole catalogue with samples from Beacon Graphics free .

Or do as I did....get rid of the peeling tape and just Plasti-dip spray it!
