Just another Matte White Mini

So I finally got the car wrapped in Matte White and this is how it looks now. Personally, love the finish. Matte adds a whole different texture to the car. I got the whole JCW theme going on too. Looks pretty much like a stock JCW.

These are some crappy pics I took today. One can notice the matte finish where the light hits. I'll take some more when theres more light. Need to paint the wheels and callipers next.

Comments / opinions are welcome.

Looks very sharp.

How do they work the wrap around the logos and Cooper lettering etc?

They had removed all the badges while wrapping. You can cut around the Mini badges in the front and the back when wrapping, but you HAVE to remove the "Cooper S" lettering from behind; very difficult to fill the spaces in between the lettering otherwise.

Looks freaking bad ***! Love it! Especially with the offset of the gloss black stripes! Now black out that ugly chrome.

Just curious why you didn't leave it debadged?

Thanks Rob.

The roof and mirrors are glossy too. And yeah, I need to black out all the chrome but first I need to swap out the headlights for the blacked out ones and see where it goes from there (if only they weren't so expensive).

I wanted to leave the car debadged. I thought they were stuck on to the hood with adhesives but they're not . By the time I saw the car, they had just finished wrapping the hood and I saw that the emblem was removed but it had 3 big *** holes where the emblem is supposed to go. And to do it again, i.e. fill the holes and wrap it, would've taken some time and money.

So I passed and I guess I'll do it once I'm done with the other changes. Next thing on the list is the GP2 Diffuser and OEM DRLs .
