Does anyone know of somewhere that sells black replacement parts for the chrome on my 2008 Cooper S? Any help would be appreciated. If not for sale , any suggestions on how to paint my chrome parts? Thanks to all...

 

www.lylesvinylstyles.net for the absolute best quality (vinyl wrapped), aesthetic creations if you want covers to go over the original parts.

I've gone both routes and Lyle's pieces are hands-down the best you can get.

I can't wait to start dechroming. I went and polished all of the chrome on the car, it was ultra ghey. I do not want to have to keep doing that.

 

Do a search for "Plastidip" on NAMM and you will find lots of instruction on how to dechrome your MINI. Works great, looks awesome, last a long time and is easily reversible if you change your mind.

 

I just blacked out my grill and Im in the process of the lights, but I was wondering how do you blackout the trim underneath the window? I looked at it for a while and cant seem to figure out how to take it off

 

I used vinyl tape to cover the "beltline". You can buy it at Pep Boys, Auto Zone, etc. Costs about $5 for enough to do the whole car. Trim with exacto knife.
