I'm loving it!
I just bought that and the JCW grill too... and the car still has over a month before it gets to my dealer. lol.
Had to do a bit of convincing though, since it's the wife's car.
I'll go show her pics of your before and after.

I AGREE 110%...

The "ONLY" reason I haven't started is because of that addiction. I thought of removing all the chrome from mine. NO THANK YOU... I forsee it becoming a problem...

And I'm already off the wagon... or is it ON? W/E Don't need another headache.

Looks good.

I just put the black trim on last week and got the blackout beltline tape from outmotoring yesterday.

You guys couldn't be more right about how addicting it is. I ordered a ready-to-paint hood scoop that I'm gonna paint black, and sometime in the future I want to get the headlight and tail light rings wrapped in vinyl. I'm gonna have no money for the summer...

Amazinggrando, I might be able to sell you my chrome trim, but first I have to check with my brother (I hate sharing my MINI )

Awesome! and yeah, the blackout is very addictive, or red out in my case. You know your hardcore when you decide to rip apart the headlights and paint the insides.

Hmm that black beltline trim tape from Outmotoring is really tempting and for only $12.95!!
I will probably do that next and then maybe a black Viper or hood stripes and then.........

Unfortunately I will have to wait until I return from my driving trip to Minnesota tomorrow which will be around the 3rd of June to continue on my MINI addiction.

thulewx I like what you did to your Clubman it looks real good.

And thank you for the additional posted comments.

Instead of going broke, just get some rattle cans and go for it
