Just curious....but when you do the electrical tape thing, how does one hide the edges??

And btw, that is the BEST color combo JCW yet....

I believe the edges were just perfectly cut and laid down exactly where the chrome came to a stop. Though maybe you'll get a better answer from someone else.

If I can brave the cold today, I'll let you know how my install went and show some photos.

Best,
Gene

Well, it is 75 degrees and sunny here in Charleston, SC today, and I just got done washing the MINI. I am changing out some parts on my Laser Blue for black so that I can make a better case for black vinyl checkers on the roof and some bonnet stripes. I figured it would be an awesome day to try it out.

Ok. Let's both do it and post up pix to see who does a better job. I think mine will come out terrible because my bones will be shaking in the cold and the 60mph wind gusts today.

Good luck my friend!
