The Mini badges have been sprayed black! Unfortunately, because they were old, they cracked! 0_0'

I've got some spares lying around but they have the 'Carbon Fiber' look. I might sand these down and spray them black to replace the worn out ones.

The head light surround has been color coded black, including the round HID projector surround.

Usually, when Mini owners want to black out the chrome beltline (the chrome strip that runs around the car right where the windows transition into the body panels), they use a vinyl sticker method. There are kits sold out there which offers a http://www.outmotoring.com/mini-cooper/out-motoring-blackout-beltline-kit.html. The problem with this is that with frequent amount of car washes added on top of our weather situation, they might peel off. So instead, I just painted the whole beltline. =P

That's some awesome green. Did they did the proper basecoat--> top coat--> Clear?

Can I ask how much you did the green for? Been dying to respray my car

Thanks man. Nothing too extreme ler.
As for the decals, since Tom is calling it a 'Lambomhini', maybe this...? Hahahahaha!

Overall it looks really great and eye catching. I think best just remain the decals of the
Cooper S on the body will do. It looks good enough.

Putting the Superleggera wording on it, might end up in pimp my ride section

Anyway, really nice mods on the mini cooper bro. Really like it. :top:

 

[Izso]

Supra : I think DC means to use the Superleggera font only and use "Cooper S" there. Not use the Superleggera words literally!

Those interested in doing the head light mod, it's called the "Joey Mod". Instructions on how to DIY here and here.

Izso, teo1957, frootloops... I dropped you a PM.

 

[k_vin85]

Bro, how did you black out the chromes?? Usually the paint doesnt stick on chromes too long.

 

[DarkChild]

My painter said there's a chemical he used. No idea.

 

[Mr.JY]

DC, mind sharing the details where you powder coated the rims? Reply here or PM. Either way works. Thanks

You mentioned it's around RM500/rim?

 

[badtz_mark]

Can PM me how much was spent on the paint?
