Sorry, because I know that flat black and flat colors seem to be in now but I'm not a fan. reminds me of the coat of primer before you paint. I saw a 630 BMW in a show room and it was a flat dark grey, and if my memory serves me, it added several thousand the to the bottom line. Just not my cup of tea

Looks great. You should do an offset color on the top. Like a matte white. It'll look awesome!

Give a nice drop and some spacers to make it look bulkier and she will look absolutely mean.

Interesting pic. with the Hood, Front Fenders and Boot done in the Flat Black...I think I would have stopped there. Who else would have such a unique MINI??!! With the full effect flat black there will be others who will copy it, there already is a Matte White MINI...what other colors will people come up with??
Just my $.02, MINI is made to be different!!

sigh.....tired of this "mod". Matte wraps were cool for a second, but I'm over it. Not sure how much all that vinyl cost you, but you could have also bought a suspension piece or something that'll at least give you more go than show.

Besides, what's wrong with the pepper white? I think that was way better than matte black anyways.

They're still cool

Tho they do make less sense on a stock car tho.

I read the rest of the comments here and how some feel about it. Grow up and don't comment please! You're wasting space on this thread about what someone did. If it isn't your MINI, then don't type and look at other threads that interest you.

I swear some people get so annoying on here, always being negative and saying, "MINI is made to be different." Obviously that's why the OP did something different to his/her liking. Carry on!

So its OK to only post positive or favorable comments? If you don't have anything nice to say do not post a comment?

So much negativity in this thread. :|

I like the matte look. If someone doesn't that's their personal opinion... no need to drink the hateraid

Actually yes. It's called "Keeping to yourself!". He/she was simply looking for feedback. People went from not my cup of tea, to "why? You should have kept it pepper white!" Or whatever. Point being, if you don't like it, just say, "that's cool but not for me." But then again everyone on forums have the coconuts to say everything here but if some of us met this person I bet nobody would have any courage to say most of the negative things.


Anyways, like I said I love it! The OP should add matte white to the roof of the car! I wouldn't do this to my MINI but definitely cool.

Everyone has the right to say whatever they please. Criticism is criticism. Take it for whatever it's worth to you. I've always been outspoken about mods and I'll continue to do so.

Every one of my friends know that about me, that they'll get the honest truth when it comes to mods. They'll still do it regardless my opinion, but at least they know what I thought. I've done stuff they didn't agree with and they told me I was stupid for it, but just like the OP, he chose to do what he thought was cool.

So for you to step in and be the "comment police", just step back.
