Got to install the laminex covers and waiting for the side & rears to get here soon. They look great and I am happy with the results. If your going to do this a hair dryer is the key. Thanks Adam for getting these out to me so fast.

Pictures are not that great...sorry.

 

Looks good. Why the laminex instead of a joey mod?

 

Well a couple of reasons...time was the initial reason. I puchased these with the intent to later do the joey nmod..but, I al really happy with the reult and since I am doing the side & rear I like the fact that it will all match. I may do it later on but for now I am happy with this.

 

Off topic a bit.... is that the JCW CF Scoop? If so, how do you like it with the DS color? Looks good in the picture but hard to tell how it really works with DS. thanks....

 

That looks like the M7 vortex scoop to me.

 

It it the M7 scoop...It works perfect with the DS & Black...CF goes well with the colors I have...love it.

 

How do you like my setup?

 

Red bull I am going to be ordering the lamin-x film for all my lights as well and did not want it too dark but also did not want it to appear purple if I went with the lighter shade. I like your look which level of tint did you get? oh by the way I am also a Dark silver and black and yours is looking sick.

 

Hello
Thanks.....I put in the smoke not Charcoal. There is a slight purple in direct sunlight when the lights are off. But otherwise they look dark smoke.

 

How was the install? was it pretty easy applying the film? I am looking to do the headlight and fog lights.

JA

 

Very easy , for me at least. I didn't think it would turn out so great if i did it by myself, but it did . i got very impatient because it look like a raccoon!
now im very happy with how it looks just a few mods left for me.


BTW: u will need a hairdryer to help

 

where do you get these please ? Couldn't find it on Alta's site (there are some for the R53, but none for the R56)...

Mine still looks like a racoon :D

Thanks

i got mine from there

 

those look great! anyone used it with the headlight trim chrome??

 

That's a damn good looking MINI you have there Red Bull!! It's a good balance of sporty and classy!!! Great color combo, stripes match perfect and overall it just has that clean look that I like...

 

no, i dont think it would work or even look good. Goo with plasti dip bro u can peel it of if u dont like it.thats what i used

 

They dont stay purple for long =]

 

got.pho... are yours tinted??

pics?

 

yup! =] (pic is super old, about 5 months ago)

 

well they look good with the chrome! might add some to my to do list

 

^That does look sweet... The chrome around the light gives it a unique look!

got.pho? Do you have any other pics of them installed? I too am thinking about doing these but I dont know how they would look with my color scheme...

 

No good pics unfortunately maybe this weekend after a wash =] if all goes wrong dark is always nice. Im def considering blacking out the chrome tho, but money has priorities elsewhere

 

I know this off topic, but where can i buy black inserts that go around the two front grills. I want to replace the chrome ones with black ones, but i do not have enough money to buy the JCW aero kit.

 

There are a few place buy them, i got mine from www.outmotoring.com .
