    Looks good. You may want to buy a set of door handle covers from Aaron and paint them white. I can help you with that.

    Finally got a chance to put the summer wheels on and be on step closer to my "white out" experiment :biggrin5: (Sorry for bad phone pic, I'll take better pictures and update garage when I have some free time)

    You just peel off the "paint" and re do them!

    Thanks! Your way already sounds easier/better. Getting a clean edge on those things is hard!

    I Plasti-dipped the black painted trim on my aero front bumper to keep the rock chips down and it has worked great. Only hint I have for getting a clean edge is to use god quality painters tape and then score the edge with a razor or exacto knife so that when you peel the tape off it doesn't pull the plast-dip off with it.

    A year and a half later the trim still looks great compared to the rest of the rock chipped front end. Only have a couple of spots where the plasti-dip is starting to peel. I attribute this to not getting the surface completely clean.

    Thats the plan when the wheels come off for the winter, which is right around the corner.

    Thanks for the kind words...still trying to make up my mind if I like the hood scoop white or not...I'm leaning towards liking it but maybe it will continue to grow on me. :D

    Yes! So glad you were able to get your hands on some white!

    I chose covers over painting my handles. Can't wait to see it!

    I'll be interested in seeing how long it lasts. I've used it on tools of course and for sound deadening on computers and the back inside of the car

    I've had my scoop, headlight/taillight rings, gas cap and grill surrounds for almost a year. Holds up very well!!

    I think my favorite part is the cooper emblem , and like I said before white wheels would put it over the top!

    I've always configured BRG Minis with black trim - but I have to admit, this Mini looks really good!

    I'll second the Cooper emblem as my favorite part.
