So i just wrapped my OWN headlight rings and tail light rings. That was fun. Haven't had a fun 3 hours like that in a long time. So the tail rings came out ok Butttttt the head rings look like poop close up. Sure from 3 ft away they look cool, but when you get all close you see fingers and bubbles galore. I think I might get them sent off and get Lagston do them? But i don't know yet??? What i really ask my self is what i am going to do on my next day off Joey mod or Belt line (Yes i could do both but what will i do NEXT day off????) Any suggestions?

 

oh yeah btw i took alot of pictures and i will post them later

 

I placed my order for beltline, taillights, headlights, side markers, gascap, and mini emblems. Should be getting them next week. WOOHOOO

 

Sorry, but you wont find them any more. (unless you watch craigs list or the honda sites) it took tooth and nail to get Konig to release the last two wheels they had in the warehouse and that was about a year ago. It's a shame they stoped making these

 

Wel, crud on a cracker. I have been searching for weeks for something that struck me as "right" for my summer wheels and those hit me like a ton of bricks. I guess I'll keep looking.

 

Hey wikedgolf,
Wut is that on ur rear bumper grill???? it looks really cool!!!

i might want to get one og those for my mini!!!

 

It glows red at night? weird


yes still red



Tis is now black curtsy of assestic creations but the bulb is now white (this was so easy don't over think this one

I am not done yet i have the rims i bought from PGT i have to get tires for and little odds and ends here and there to do.
What do you think???

 

sorry still figuring out attachments
This is what i have been working on. All of this was done by either me or my brother from Cutabove in Houston
1Headlight covers with home made vinyl rings

2and the fog lights

3headlights at a different angle, it doesn't look so red

 

1This is my SWEET gas cap wrap Just kidding i just wanted to see how hard it was going to be and i seriously need a heat gun for this

2My diy V1 placement thanks to a thread here on NAM (ps read the part about the ground wire closely)

3Blue light

 

Great shot from the front if you look really closly you can see a bubble on the headlight ring Thats diy style nah i am probably going to re do it soon but its an easy 1 footer

 

so this is what it looked like before

lookin good - i especially think the gas cap is HAWT!

 

ha it was like 4 in the morning and i was totally drunk don't mod drunk its just as bad a driving drunk. (not that drunk driving is funny)

 

yeah drunk driving isn't funny - but your post still made me laugh. however drunk modding is as funny as drunk dialing

 

Is there anyone else that has smoked/blacked out tail lights on their astro black MINI. wikedgolf's look more blueish and BrandonH's look more redish (in the picture). I'm really interested in getting some but I'm not sure if they'd look weird on a car thats kinda bluish blackish lol.

 

oh don't get me started.

 

Agreed---so far I'm not impressed with the look on AB cars. Thinking I'll stick with the chrome for now...

 

i have tinted film on mine for now - check out my gallery - they are not bluish at all. i am however taking it to a body shop to have them sprayed with a tint of black in clear for a crisper smoked look

 

I am having problems getting my chrome cover on my gas cap off. There seams to be a hole on the bottom but when i stick little screw drivers in there, nothing ( I think you have to twist it) Any suggestions ? BTW Astro black is a really dumb name for a color that is mostly blue. I think one of these days i am going to attack it with a spray gun full of matte black. Yeah thats going to be cool.

 

no idea if this is true on yours, but since i have an '05, there is a little screw when you flip it open. pops right off. good luck!

 

Wrapping the gas cap cover takes a TON of patience. My hands are still cramping from doing that wrap two days ago. Using heat is important.

 

Open up the gas cap inside on the upper 12 o'clock position of the black inner part you can see a little tab. Put a screwdriver in it and pull it down a little bit. Then turn the cap itself counter clockwise!! Done!

 

ehhh...still looks kinda red to me (sorry) is there any one else whos done it...preferably blackout...i wanna c how that looks on the astro black...ps: mighty mini, do u think u can put up a pic after u spray painted the light cover...maybe that mite be what im looking for...

thx

 

Here are some of before and after pics. Granted I still don't have the beltline on the hood done, and the CF doorhandles on yet. And the before pics are clean and the now are well lets say dirrrty. It has been snowing just about every other day. So I wash and then it's dirty again. I will post better pics once everything is done.

 

Oh by the way....the "joey mod" is in my very near future!
