Post your Paceman! Show off those pictures!
Well, lets get one of these threads going for the paceman! Any random shots you have of your R61 are welcome. Clean, dirty, doing work, driving around, whatever you have, show it off!
Here's mine to start off... https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-M...131011_265.jpg https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-9...52119814_o.jpg |

Nice cars!!
I'm liking those black headlight rings. Did you use plasti-dip? I'm thinking of doing my headlight and taillight rings and grille. |

I did plastidip first, but I guess I used an old can and all ended up fuzzy finish... Didn't like it. Then ordered set of OEM replacement rings from OUTMOTORING: clean! I am waiting my roll of 3M to finish off the front grill trim and rear light rings....:popcorn: |

No dippping! Just "transplanted" handle covers from my Clubman... http://sisoje.zenfolio.com/img/s3/v7/p2006694708-4.jpg |

Here's a crappy iPhone pic of the loaner I got while my clubman was being serviced. I liked it quite a bit, it was a very nice ride.

Looks like I never got around to posting pics of my stripes! Sprayed them on a couple weeks ago, along with the headlight & taillight rings and MINI emblems.

Redbaron took them off but he said it was a PITA and took awhile so I am hesitant since my patience always runs out. |
Thanks! I took the rings off, but only after reading how redbaron did it. I would have given up long before I ever got them off. After reading how he did it, it was very easy. Much easier than trying to cover everything and dealing with any overspray. I just need to do the grill and beltline next.

So are you plastidiping them? or what paint?
I am thinking PlastiDip but not convince with durability. Loving this look... cant wait to get mine done. :grin:

I was just in getting repairs to my Countryman. . .

and I drove home in this. It originally had 19" wheels and they were beautiful :no: but practicality won out and I went with the 17" all seasons.
You know, it is really difficult to take good pictures of a black car on a gloomy day. Joel |

MINI finally home
I picked up my Paceman yesterday and had it tinted today. Absolute Black and looking gorgeous! I'll take some pictures this weekend, but so happy with her I had to share the joy.
Planning to do some dipping in my future on those rings. Still debating on if I can remove them or just tape off the car. My other plan was to dip the badging, which is why I want to know how to debage. Unfortunately, I had to say goodbye to my 2006 Astro Black S. We had a great run and made a great team. Lolo:thumbsup: |

I used plasti dip. It's not as durable as actually painting them, but when it does start to show wear you just peel it off and respray. It's very easy stuff to work with and I'd highly recommend it. If for any reason you mess up in the process of putting it on, you wait for it to dry, peel it off, and respray. My stripes, beltline, headlight/taillight rings on my '08 were plasti-dipped for around 8 months when I sold it and it was still holding strong. If you want some extra durability, spray a couple extra coats on.
And keeping with the thread, I just had my windows tinted on Friday! 5% in the rear, 35% on the front two. https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-E...140200_697.jpg I think it has to be 3/4" thick. |

Arm Rest installed

I did the arm rest a couple of weeks ago, I also thought I could do without, it’s a simple install. make sure you get the new longer bolts to attache the arm rest. Sorry for the dark pics… https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...2020.08.19.jpg https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...2022.39.08.jpg https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...2010.50.50.jpg https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...2010.54.23.jpg |
