    Well it's about time. Now if they add a blacked out belt line, door handles and gas cap that would be cool.

    Just checked availabilty and the headlight rings show a few in the US the tail light trim and other pieces show no stock in the US as of yet. We are in the works of adding these parts to our site so that they can be ordered.

    Mini would do better and the car would look better if they went back to making the R53.

    Pretty smart move by them...it's nice when mfr's pay some attention to market / customizing trends and so on.

    Perhaps I'll hold off on that purchase of PlastiDip stock... :)

    Don't suppose they'll have those for the R53?

    I like my R56 just fine, thank you very much. You folks need to move on and stop living in the past. :Thumbsup:

    Has anyone heard when the Black Line Trim will be available? I haven't been able to find anything on when we'll be able to order the package or purchase the trim pieces (for those of us that already have the silver trim).

    I have a White Silver MINI with black stripes, black headlamp housings and black wheels and it looks AWESOME. Would love to have some additional black trim!

    Call Aaron at Outmotoring. I believe he has some of those pieces available.
