Hello,

I purchased black side markers lights for my mini, and then the wife wanted. So, I bought her the non-S scuttles. Her car is pure silver. (Yes, we have two R53s.) Long story short, she did not like and decided to plasti-dip since she really liked the "S".
I took the side scuttles off, and apart, and covered only the main part.
Thoughts??

 

Looks good. That's exactly what I did.

 

The blood is rushing to my head now that I looked at the third photo...........

 

Ended up doing it on MY Mini, Dark Silver. (4 coats)

 

Did this myself today too..looks awesome!

 

Mine refused to budge. Tried pushing both out to no avail. Gave up before breaking anything. Easily did it w/ friends' scuttles. Must be all that gunk locking em over the past decade.

 

Whoa.....ready to passout now. Can't these be posted right side up?

 

I took pictures like normal and sent from phone to email.
Then downloaded on laptop.
They open up normal on computer.
No idea how they ended up that way.

 

No problem, just having fun!!

 

is this hard to apply.. I'd like to do the front grill, and the headlight chrome?

 

My roommates just looked at me weird for flipping my laptop upside down to look at the pic. They look great tho =]

 

took some time but relatively easy

 

I'd thought about blacking out my scuttles as well, but then it occured to me, they might look good painted body color. So I bought a set of "Justa" scuttles and had my local shop spray them. While I was at it, I bought an extra set of door handles as well, peeled the chrome off them, and had them painted as well.

 

just wondering if i can get one of my USA NAM members to pick up about 10 cans of black plasti Dip for me from home depot.. or somewhere where it is 6-7 dollars a Can and send it to my Shipping outlet in Montana.. i would pay up front.. thing is we get rapped here in Canada.. 23 dollars a can after tax.

 

here is some more pics

 

one more

 

That badge looks awesome!

 

Did the same to my mini when I did the rims, Id love to know how to remove the hood scoop , I wanna make it black -_-

 

open the hood there is 2 screws and 4 nuts hat hold it on.. when reinstalling it after you spray it .. make sure your putting pressure on the hood scoop over the nuts that you are tightening or you will break the plastic that holds the bolt

FYI in the future you can just order it straight off our website

nice I never knew that.. that's great I've ordered lots from u before.. thanks again

 

Sorry, I know this is old, but did you get the "S" out of the scuttles, or did you just mask ot off and spray over it? If you did get it out, how? Also, how did you keep the mesh holes from clogging up?

Thanks!

 

I bought the black plastic scuttles that are on the standard Mini. Then I had them painted to match the car by the dealer body shop. I also had them fill in the holes where the front badge mounts on the hood. I also had them paint the chrome around the headlights in black. And I had them remove the rear S on the trunk lid. The whole effect is subtle but good. It's hard to tell shat model car I've got unless you notice the badges that say John Cooper Works. I left those badges in place.
