My Updated MCS (PW) lots of pics!! Enjoyy!!

hey there guys!!
im just postin up my car to show everyone my newly updated mini
im sure most of you may not care..but i guess then you can just think of it as a post to me..
i really like how it looks as of right now..(i know i know..it may look like some other members' minis but mine is still different )
we'll start off with some before pictures


(when i first bought it pretty much)


after some decals



some more updated pics takin goff of decals and putting on




**and now..the newly updated **












and there we have it..(excuse me for the amateur pictures)
oh and the decals around the fog lights i got from voltageproductsonline
i messed up puttin on the ones i bought so i got some extra decal i had laying around and with the last one made a copy of it and cut some extras with my left over vinyl i had from my stripes i did long ago..
totally different quality..voltage's vinyl feels much much better..

feel free to comment and give me some advice of the sort if there's anything else i should do..

You've done a really nice job with the "naked" look. Looks awesome!

I can't think of much else to recommend without going overboard. Maybe a Joey mod would be the final added touch.

You should post a link to this over in the PW Peerage forum. You'll have lots of fans over there.

Oh duh... I see that now...

I was thinking black to match the rest of your black out...but the PW looks sharp too.

Looks great, much cleaner overall. I'm not usually a fan of painted arches, makes the car look bulky in my opinion, but it seems to work on your pepper white, maybe it's the black wheels. The only thing U would change are the black headlight rings, you should get them painted pepper white. But yeah, two big thumbs up.

First off, your car looks great !

I agree with Jahmills, The painted arches look good with the blacked out wheels ! I also very much like the joey mode. That's the one mod I've held back from doing, I'm not confident enough to try that mod yet ! I'd love to see the black headlight rings and door handles PW as well, You've gone with the body color bumpers,arches, door sills, gas cap and Joey mod, It makes me want to see those two pieces PW as well ! (ALA, "JoMo's beast") !

Looks sweet. The only bad I can see is that you got rid of the web spokes. Other than that you mad a very clean ride.

Car looks great!
I like it better without the decals.
I also think you are correct doing the headlight rings and door handles in PW would look great.
One small thing, you might want to paint the support bar under the mid grill flat black. In some of the pics it shows.

indeed they are from lyle..gotta do them yourself if you're no where near him..i did them myself and he gave me 3 sheets
but do know that the only downside of doin this mod is the reverse lights..they're pink/red when they light up..its fine for me..but not for the people not knowing that im backing up..you get used to it tho..

and to thulchatt..yes i do need to paint that part black..i still do need to take off the excess foam tape from the oem part then i'll go ahead and paint it

MUCH cleaner without the decals!!!!!!! what i'd give for colormatched fenders... soon... have you thought about going with an r50 gas cap? oricari vent scoops? rims? and i agree on painting underneath the mid grill black... that'd be really clean on your already-cleaner-than-f*$k mini!!! interior/engine pics?
