I've been scouring for pics of a pepper white R56s with joey mods with painted rings. If you have one, please post it here. Just trying to get some ideas. I did find a few but there has to be more than just a few....

 

I would think Joey-modded lights on PW would look like ***, ASSuming you mean the normal black Joey mod...?

 

Check out my for sale ad (see signature)

 

That is a great looking car. GLWS!

 

Why would they look like ***? You must love chrome... looks pretty good from what I can see..

 

Very nice!! I like it!!!

 

yeah and my sig. not HID's but you can't really tell. atleast gives you an idea

 

edit. not my sig anymore

 

Nothing to do with the chrome, in fact I'd like to have my rings done in body color. I don't think that darkened light housings go well with light colored cars, that's all. Pic above confirms it for me - that car looks awesome but I think it would look 100% better with the stock light internals.

All subjective of course. If you like the look, by all means, go for it.

 

Wow nice! How did you black out the halogens?

 

paint















but seriously. if you search there is a huge thread on joey modded halogens. it's not too tough, just take your time and tape off well

 

Here's mine. I de-chromed the front end (except for the projector surround), looks worlds better

 

Here is mine
I still am waiting to sit down and tear them apart again and paint the projector surround pepper white

 

Nice! I think thats the route I want to go. I was originally thinking of painting the projector surround Red.. I guess I need to get Photoshop loaded and start messing with the pics... its going to be a tough one..

 

Does the mod affect the light output in any way?

 

all these PW minis look really nice guys ... kudos on all the minis pics here !!

 

Nope, output should be the same because it's sourced from the projector. In fact, it cuts down on extraneous glare from the former reflective surfaces. You notice it on the extreme left and right limits of the cutoff lines, it's very sharp.

 

Here is my newest play on the PW/B
Sorry about quality just wanted to take a quick shot

 

Looks sweet! Can you do a full front shot?

 

Absolutely, I will be leaving here shortly and I will snap one and upload it. I also was bored with the PW paint and painted the scuttles on the side but I really am not feeling them.

Picture Incoming soon

 

I tried doing the plastidip on the scuttles and its just not turning out like I want. I may get VinylStyles to do it as he seems to do a supreme job on them.
I did, however, plastidip the rings, grill trim, rear light trim, and I am waiting for the new plastidip enhancer called Glossifier that will make the plastidip have a glossed look to it.. cant wait for it to arrive..

 

My solution to the horrendously tacky S scuttles was to swap them out for a $15 pair of Justa scuttles I scored off Ebay. 1000% improvement IMHO...

 

Yeah but I like the S on it.. now there are the JCW and the ONE scuttles. the ONE scuttles are actually kinda cool..

Wow! thats pretty nice! I think the black stripes really make this work! I may have to rethink my strategy of how to do my Joey mod... Very nice work!!!
