Some new mods to our JCW PICTURES ENJOY

I just completed some new paint & engine mods to our 09 JCW. Tell me what you think. Tonight we will install the coil overs and the paint the wheels black.

Scuttles..the base is painted black and I painted the scuttle the same as the body color and did a little air brushing ..

Prior to paint....preped and ready









Rear light trim rings








Alta tubes...stil have (2) more to go..

Looks awesome! If I had any further comments/suggestions it would be to blackout the beltline and get some rear fog lights to get rid of those blanking plates. Otherwise it looks hot!

Looking good! It would be nice if you could replace the rear honeycomb and fog like blanks with the same mesh as used in the front grill areas.

Agree..that would be my first choice. I wanted to do full mesh but they dont make them for the rear...Maybe I will install the rear fogs and tint them.

Looks Great dude!! The painted side scuttle trims really tie the painted fenders together nicely. Very nice!

btw, Red Bull your Mini has already gotten some attention from the guys at Motoring Underground... Heres a link to a pic they found...
