Hi guys

Thought I would share my new mod. Been waiting to get this done so pretty chuffed it's done

Not to everyone's taste but just wanted to make it mine a little more.

Journey:

And then...

Thanks for looking!

 

[Darrel]

It looks good! I want the ones you had... With red sides instead of white. Did you applied it yourself?

I was going to do it myself however as the bonnet is cut during application I got scared and got the pros to do it

The bumpers and sides would have been easy though.

Thanks for the like!

 

[Darrel]

That's a lot of red! But it looks good for it.

Cheers

Reds my favourite colour

 

[Darrel]

Very nice, im sure ill see it around as that looks like oldham

Yeah haha was Oldham indeed - keen eye

 

[Darrel]

Looks great.... where did you get the front lower bumper air grille surrounds from?? Cheers. Mark.

I had the bumper crescents done at the same time with the bonnet.

My inspiration was the concept mini from a couple years back

Roof was too far for me and the boot lid which I also skipped.

I'm happy to send you the company details if you want. I believe not many do the bumper ones

Cheers

That's brave - a paint stripping gun on your car paint!

Not a lot of room for error?

Yeah I was careful. I have done it before gladly.

Gun on low ftw

 

[Darrel]

Are the bumper stickers the luxemini ones? I'm thinking off adding them to mine.

Had to google luxemini as I had not hear of it but thank you for teaching me this! So nice stuff on there.

No they arnt is the short answer. Looking at the website - the rear looks very similar but the fronts are a little smaller than what I had done.

Not much difference though!

Cheers

 

[Darrel]

That looks great, well done.
Another nice touch if its going too far or not but is to also have the front air dams cross bars (as in the demo picture above) coloured in red.

Thanks Cessa

 

[Darrel]

Hi, can you tell me where you purchased these from please?

Yeah no problem

Elite Films in Birkenhead

Was a long drive but they seem to be the only ones who have experience with this particular stripe kits.

 

[Darrel]

Very, very nice. Definitely an improvement on what already was a really nice looking JCW.

I have been toying around with the idea getting rid of the factory stripes on my MCS and going for similar kind on double stripes that you have. Just a bit worried that since the car is close to being there might be a slight color difference underneath the stripes. (It's already a year old )

Thanks for the comment!

I'm pretty sure that the potential slight colour different will buff out.

When I took mine off there was an initial colour difference but I used GTech panel wipe followed by meguiars paint cleaner stage one polish and it all came good.

Good luck whatever you decide.

 

[Darrel]

Just placed my order for the bumper decals!

Awesome! Did you go for the red ones?

You have a pop at fitting them? Should be pretty straight forward in theory

Be sure to post some pics so I can see the actual difference compared to mine when fitted

Good luck Michael

 

[Darrel]

Great look ... wish Mini would offer something like that

Cheers

Yeah I was surprised at the limited decal / vinyl options direct from dealer.

Suppose it keeps the others in business though

 

[Darrel]

That looks great!

Thank you.

You will prob see it round Rochdale (providing I'm reading your name correctly

 

[Darrel]

I'm definitely tempted. The design is just awesome and the colors are perfect.

Thanks for the compliment!

No one else (in the northwest) is allowed this design ! Lol mine mine mine

Saying that I know I'm not the first to rock this look so who am I to say anything lol

 

[Darrel]

Any chance your distributor would sell me the front and rear lower stripes?

Yes they do.

I was originally going to do it myself however heard the bonnet would be trouble.

They won't be as cheap as luxemini but will be accurate in colour, 3M quality and bigger.

Worth a call

Good luck

 

[Darrel]

Nope, you're not the first...

You're in the northwest tho, so I'll let you off!

Very nice !

Really stands out on the black. You not keen on the bonnet kit?

To be fair the bonnet might of looked too much against the black.

 

[Darrel]

Wow it looks really sexy with the new stripes I ordered my lines a few days ago so as soon as I get the job done I'll upload some pictures

Cheers!

Yeah post some pics when you get yours done

 

[Darrel]

Hey Darrel:

Here are the pics of the job done

Wow I'm loving the white look.

Looks awesome well done!! Look unique

 

[Darrel]

Just had mine applied earlier this month. Took me a long time to decide what I wanted to go with.

Looks awesome. Loving the red pin stripe down the edge.

Nice job!
