Welcome to NAM! You did a wonderful job personalizing your car! The blackout of the chrome is well done, and, while the placement of the front license seems strange to me, I REALLY like the "sparkly roof"! It's novel and especially compliments that rainy British weather [even when it ISN'T raining].

wow...VERY clean and VERY nice mini..i gotta dechrome mine too!!
some dark rims would look nice on your car. but those rims do add flavor to the lower part.
but all in all..i like your car. awesome job in modding it!!

Sweet ride! I love the color and how you have "you-ified" it.

Wow that look's really nice very clean look, a lot of subtleties while not been over done, but could you tell me why you didn't center the front license? It's seem to distract from the flow.........

PS What part of England? I'm originally from Wakefield, Yorkshire

Headlight rings

I've been working on removing all the crome on my Cooper S as well.
I really like how you have the Headlight rings painted to match.
Were those ordered or removed and painted.
If removed, how hard is it to DIY?

Very nice and clean- I'd like to see the sparkle roof in person as I think that is the only way you can truly get the full effect. I noticed the brake mod/painted calipers as well.

It looks great, but surely there is a better alternative for the front license plate.

Good looking car. You kept the look nice and clean and still managed to slip in some " bling ' ( roof ) .
