The LCI BRGs look so damn good. The exterior fixes are minor from for example a 2007/8 but just drastically comes together nicer. I love how the dark green makes the red tails pop. Have you thought about doing a red roof, mirrors, and front brake ducts?

I don't think I've posted a picture since getting the TL rings color matched so here it is. Thanks Orangecrush.

This is my first Mini (in-laws have had two, which convinced me) and I love it. Very basic, though, and needs some dressing up. I'm thinking black accents, & have checked the NAM forums and galleries for ideas, but if anyone has other suggestions, I'm certainly all ears.

The tint I added was 35% all around, then I had them put a 70% layer on top of that, effectively creating a 24.5% tint. I wanted consistency, and this was about the best way to keep from catching the eye of the tint police, making it the same.

Thanks, I figured flat black or plastidip would just look cheap against my black paint so I went with the gloss, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

Love, love, love the color combo man. The red accents on the car really set it off! I think it may look kinda cool if the top was red, but Im not completely sure....it would be hard to top how good the car looks as it is right now!

I agree. Red (GP Style) roof would be awesome!
