When I was planning my purchase, I was unable to find any pics of the side scuttles other than the tiny ones in the configurator. So I thought it'd be hellpful to new future NAMers (and current NAMers contemplating a change!) if we had a thread of pics of the various ones available.

My MA said mine was the first they had done, so I guess they haven't sold many.

Anyway, here's the blackjack scuttle. Even those that don't know the significance as to why I got them (see my screen name!) thought they looked sharp!

 

I would like to see the difference between the checkered scuttles and the JCW CF ones.

 

Here are my Black Jack scuttles.

 

thye look great but are they expensifve?

 

How hard/easy are they to install. I don't want to pay the dealer to swap out my factory scuttles.

 

Thats a very good look, that matches my roof graphic perfectly....I may have to copy ya!!!!

 

My dealer is charging $29 to install.

 

They are very easy to swap out. You open the bonnet and push them forward and they will unclip. Then move the light from the original to the new scuttle and them pop them back on. Took about 5 minutes total to do.

 

I feel like I'm line for a really good movie...

 

Moss Mini has close-ups of the factory scuttles, but apparently not the CF.

This is a vinyl set of Union Jacks from AC

 

The aftermarket JCW scuttles are not CF they are just a grid patern

 

Thanks. I'm now leaning towards the checkered flag. We're getting the checkered mirror covers anyway.

 

Here you go...

 

Those b/w blackjack ones look really great!

 

Thanks. I also found the DIY sticky on mirror caps, so it looks like I'm doing these treatments myself, unless the dealer agrees to do the installs free and give me the 10% club discount on the parts (or let me bring them in from elsewhere).

 

where did you order those from? i really like them!

 

Looks like from here

Here is a picture of my skuttle. This modification was done at great expense. I like my skuttle.

 

On the base cars I think the optional scuttles with the white signal lights package is almost mandatory, really makes the car look a lot nicer and finishes it off.

The big black plastic scuttle with that giant yellow side marker is not so great, especially on certain colors.

Seems like if you get them you are almost obligated to get the rear view mirror cover as well....

Hi,
here is mine with stickkies from AC.

Checkmates with the yellow 'S'.

 

Thanks! I've gotten a lot of favorable comments from them.

 

Hey danielo, any chance you can get a photo of your scuttle from a distance so we can see in relation to the entire car. ...hard to tell how it looks from that angle and closeup shot. (thanks in advance).

 

Awesome looking. I ordered the factory checkered, but those look so much better. Where are they on the AC site?

 

Because of this thread, I have upgraded my order to include the White Signal Lights... I had already decided that the stock plastic scuttles had to go, but you are right, Analogeezer, the white light makes it look right.

What rear view mirror cover are you talking about, though?
