finally decided to color-code my HB/B
I was thinking of getting the whole aero kit but decided to just paint all the trims and the result = awesome!

Here are some before and after pictures

::drool:: gorgeous! My past two MINIs have had painted trim so I'm obviously biased towards it. I think it gives them some.. hmm.. attitude I guess. Looks fantastic. Very nice work.

question:
1. did you buy arches and have those painted and put on, or are those your original arches.
2. if you dont mind, how much did you pay?

^^ they are the original arches
what I think the paint shop did was bought new clips cuz the original plastic clips breaks when you pull the arches out. Other than the clips, it was all original trims and as for the price, I paid 800USD to get all the trims painted to body color
