A thought or two....
- regarding the 4th interior shot... not sure what the subject is.
- I'm not loving the artificial vignette on the color shots. I think it's a technique that works better w/B&W or Sepia treatments. This is highly subjective however; don't let that stop you if you like it yourself.

Vinyl wrap on the door handles, gas cap and side repeaters. I painted the headlight, taillight trim and grill surrounds.

How hard were the door handles? I thought I read that they were pretty tough to do on the R56.
Also, is this your first MINI? You're definitely off to a quick start will all the modding. Looks great though.

From Aesthetic Creations. I think they've stopped selling CF stuff for a while due to problems with their previous fabricator getting the work done fast enough but I think they'll be offering them again in future.

Nice job on the Checkers and stripes just that those are the worst factory rims available to each their own. have you thought about checkering the flat spot of the wheels?

More mods done today, blacked out headlight rings & washers, blacked out taillight rings and custom black/red MINI emblems front and rear. Beltline blackout tomorrow. In the meantime here's some pics...
Next mod scheduled is a full seat revamp involving lots of leather, suede, red stitching and custom embroidered JCW logos. Should be done in the next couple of weeks.
