Are those the stock panels painted or did you have to go with an aftermarket? I was actually thinking of having mine painted to match the body...now that I've seen yours I'm VERY interested however, I was not sure whether the stock panels could be painted.

Thanks! If you're asking about the fenders on the car that are normally black, yes, those are the same black fenders but painted. Way Motor Works offers painted fenders for $500 shipped a set. This includes the replacement body clips you'll need to switch them out with. He does a pretty good job on them.

Another option I've been discussing with Lyle at Vinyl Styles is wrapping them in vinyl because he has some vinyl colors that match various Mini paint jobs almost exactly (like Laser Blue). I'm not sure how much it would cost to get all 4 of them wrapped though...

Check my link in my signature "A Mini Story" for links to both Way Motor Works and Vinyl Styles' websites.

Just got 20% tints, my first mod. They're pretty dark but I think they look so good on the DS/B. Definitely looks a bit "meaner"

Hey nice choice with the tint and the DS/B. I have the same combo.

I just installed a Scangauge II and wanted to show it off.

I made a bracket with some old blinds I had (pics below), cut a piece off and cut an angle off of it so the display can be seen. I attached it with Stikarounds that I had left over from laying some flooring. It is solid and should hold up for a long time. The pics are below

SWEET!

It appears to me that you might have an affinity for dark silver.

Just a wild guess.....

Just picked up "Jr." up on Friday and have been driving like a mad man. Didn't get the chance to use my real digi cam but here is a phone cam pic in the mean while.

Love this freakin' car!!!
