SO YOU’RE TELLING ME YOU IMPROVE A $30,000 MINI WITH $15 WORTH OF PLASTIC SPRAY PAINT MINI you-ification comes in all kinds of ways, from expensive JCW tuning kits to inexpensive valve stem covers. *Maybe even a few $2 decals. *Sometime in the past few years it became the craze to black out the chrome […] More...

Yeah but too much chrome reminds me of those huge Harley Davidson turns puttering up and down the Dragon doing 5 mph. :mad2:
:lol: :lol: :lol: That's how I rationalize my chrome! I have to say that I don't entirely get the plastidip thing, though. I mean, I can kind of see its appeal in that it's temporary and there's no commitment involved...maybe I'm just lazy and can't see myself re-doing it over and over again...
Too much plasti-dip reminds me of my toolbox....my old pliers actually... But more often than not, seeing a mini with plasti-dip reminds me many gen1 cars are worth about the same amount as a can of the stuff once the user is done... Where once owners would spend $500 on mods....now they gripe about spending $15.... Done tastefully it is neat stuff....
