I love that stripe and insignia on the side! Was that an add-on? That would look great on my Pure Silver with those bonnet stripes already there.

Like a flex strip or an actual halow behind/under the plastic diffuser? The projecter doesnt have a lot of room thats why i didnt attempt anything when i had mine apart a while back.

It's just a flexible LED strip behind the shroud that I blocked off from the center lens. There's not a lot of room to do it, it took a lot of patience to get everything squeezed in there. The lights aren't very bright during the day though, I might try something else. IMO it looks awesome though. Best $30 I've ever spent

I didn't take very in-depth pictures of the process as it was the first custom thing I've really ever done that didn't involve instructions. But, when I get better pictures of the finished product I'll put everything together and write it up the best I can.

Dont do halos, play off the factory look. IMO the halos were played out once they were put on anything other than a BMW. If you play off the factory light, give it a factory look.

I really like the Laser Blue as well, that color was in the running when I was shopping for my MINI. It's a really great color that almost matches my favorite guitar. Ya got a sweet lookin' ride as well my friend.
