    Well I decided to plasti dip my side mirrors from white to black and I'm really happy with how it turned out! I have ordered a new mesh grille and a shorty antenna too so the car is coming along well![​IMG]

    That's nice, I can't wait to see the new grille. Are you planning anything for the roof too?

    Yea I'm excited for the new grille as well, also had a ballast go out so I ordered a new one along with 8K HIDS and I want to get the checkered vinyl for the roof and paint the spoiler black as well but I'll have to save up for that unless anyone knows someone in the Virginia Beach area who can make one and put it on for a good price?

    So what's next? Now that you've got the upgrade/customization bug you can't stop there. ;)

    Awesome improvements. I am a BIG advocate of Plasti Dip. Love that stuff. Your MINI looks great!

    I have the kit to Plasti Dip but don't currently have the garage to paint yet but that is going to change soon! I have to paint my Audi S4 first I think but I am looking forward to see what else I can get done and make it look pretty cool.
