PlastiDip'd the wheels

I'm happy so far, seems like a great test to see if you really want black wheels. They looked great as Mat black, good as "glossy" black. They just didn't shine up as much as I thought they might. I bought the wheel kit from www.dipyourcar.com/

Looks good, I think the biggest change is going to the black wheels. Kind of makes it look mean and lowered.

Good luck on the install.

My New 2013 Clubman S- Eclypse Gray

Dunno why my post from yesterday never showed, but I'll try again...


This is my first Mini and it's AWESOME! It won't be my last, I'm sure! I ordered it at around the end of April, but waited until just last weekend to take delivery because of the lease on my BMW. Boy, never thought I'd say this, but I sure don't miss the Bimmer (we've leased three 3 series and two 5 series the last 8 years and got tired of the poor gas milage).








Cheers all!

Nice!
Was toying with the idea. Are they aftermarket?

My baby. His name is Doug. Contemplating exterior mods but not sure where to start. Was thinking orange plasti-dip over the chrome.

Flickr is kind of roundabout when it comes to linking. I use ImageShack because it gives me a direct link.

If you can get a direct link URL from your Flickr account, paste it into the message with these tags [img] before and [/img] after it, and that should work.

The linkable Flickr URL should look like this (before you add the tags).

Don't see many of the Sparkling Silver color Clubman. Yours looks nice. I have a 2011 SS (Last year of the color). So far I have enjoyed putting stripes on the hood and the checker board squares on the top. Hope to soon put black checker stripe along the bottom of the doors and have my rocker panel painted SS to match the rest of the car.
