No i used the vinyl you get from the decal specialists and cost me $10. It apparently guaranteed for UV for 10 years. It took me a while and to et it just right. I have since blacked out the rear boot handle and the rear tail light surrounds. I painted the surrounds because they are so skinny, but i used Vinyl on the boot. I also painted the MINI emblem black. That looks good too. De-badged the Cooper S so now i only have the JCW emblems all around.

More mods to come, I managed to pick up the Mini Challenge Side Skirts, front spoiler, Brake duct inlets, Turbo, KW Springs (about 20 of them) and 5 brake rotors (one with a hat). I had the rotors on ebay but didn't sell so it looks lie i'll need to do a further brake upgrade...

Toolazyforalogin your mini is my favorite blacked out cooper!
Im happy your fender light tints worked out for you.

And JCW56 your Mini might be an inspiration for a blackout on my Mini...
I have a white roof on my Cooper S, and I may have just to black out the beltline and headlight rings. Hmmmmm.....

They all look great!!

Well thanks to the good weather we had this weekend, I managed to spend all Saturday afternoon washing, claying, washing, drying, polishing and waxing my pride and joy. Then yesterday (Sunday) at about 5.30ish I went and took these photos.
