New stripes, and did the scuttles, gas cap, mini emblem and grille trim in flat black!

Next up is the door handles and beltline.

I'm still new but here she is!

Plastidipped all the chrome, but forgot the door handles.
Blacked out the chrome belt line.
Removed 2nd Cat and resonator on the stock exhaust system
Installed NM Torque Arm Inserts.

I have a set of Motegi SP10s 17x7 and Michelin Pilot Sport A/S (215/45) coming next week. I'm having a blast learning and tinkering with the damn thing. I'm coming from two wheels so I've a lot to learn.

The Bay Water Editions are sharp looking MINIs. Our local dealer got on e in the other day and I took a good look at it. Very Nice. The Kite Blue Metallic is a beautiful color too.

You should see one in the sunlight. I really sparkles. I almost looks like they crushed a bunch of diamonds into dust and mixed them in the paint.

Just bought a 2007 MC S. going to be doing a few things to it like painting the calipers, intake system, rotors, and exhaust system. I'll upload more pics when I'm done.

MiniZap - lovin' the red roof JCW! I think my second MINI will have a white roof though.

Hey, you're also not too far away - I've never had a red roof on my run. It's a nice ride out east if you're interested in May. All the details are on my site - just look in my sig.

What did you use and how did you black out the chrome pieces? Any change of more close up pics of the parts you blacked out?

Thanks,
