nice man.
the new paint is the stripes?
what color was the car before?

 

......

 

THE car is fresh out of the shop. I have to put new stripes on.

ARE the PICs showing up?

 

brushed aluminum effect on the chromium? that's unique

 

Yea, the painter had the car taken apart so I thought about painting the door handles but in the process of sanding the Brushed Aluminum came out of no where and I stuck with it. I did the eye lids as well

 

Looks good.
When I did my handles they looked the same before paint. Ever since then I have wanted to do a matte black and brushed theme.

Great Job Ubercoop!

Very cool brushed Aluminum look. Was it a wet sand with 2000 grit ?

With respect to rear window dirt buildup it would be interesting to see if there is any difference w/o the wing attached. Are you thinking of getting a mid-wing set up or going stealth ?

 

Thanks man, I used about 300 grit sand then used some scotch brite to go over it a little to give it the brushed effect.
And about the wing, I haven't had the chance to wash it. It came out of the body shop dirty. I think I might just keep the wing off, a lot of the wings on the market are way over priced.

 

Looks very nice, I do like the wingless look Just out of curiosity what had happened to the bonnet? The headlight looks pretty wrecked in that photo.

 

I should have explained the pictures, the ones with the strips are of the car before someone hit me. The new pictures are after replacing the hood and light

 

ive had no wing on my car for about 2 years and the buildup is the same

 

Crap.........too bad. Guess there is no cure or fix for "hatchback" dirt.

 

MINI looks good... except for the wingless boot.

Am I the only one who thinks a MINI looks odd without a spoiler of some kind ??

 

looks great and love the handles..

 

Looking good, are you thinking of getting a JCW wing? I think they look great and would match your black very nicely.

 

looove the wingless boot! I think it only works on aggressive looking mini's though, which is why it looks good on yours. well done

 

I guess I'm not the only one that removed my spoiler...

Looking good Ubercooper968!

 

I like the brushed look.
