I've ordered the belt line

[Scottie]

in black from Mini Pirate for Allan to fit. Only costing about £12 so not to bad if he buggers it up. I might have a wee word with Carlo to see if he can offer some advice on how best to do the job.;)

[AndyP & Lenore]

Ok. Someone has to ask. And I drew the short straw, so here goes...

What's the belt line?:blush:

Belt line is the chrome line under the windows

[Scottie]

black vinyl to go over the chrome under the windows.

Tsk tsk...Andy, how long have you owned MINI's and you didn't know this...:frown:

It's ok, you weren't alone. I wasn't 100% sure either but didn't want to admit it :blush::laugh::Whistle:

Did Zimbo not do this to his red Cooper D as well. It looked pretty good.

Im sure the black belt line is going to be a factory option from about March 2009

[AndyP & Lenore]

Ah. I C.:thumbs up:

Aye that might look quite good on the right colour of MINI.:cool:

One of the Young Pup's did this with a some black insulation tape as an experiment IIRC. Not sure if he ripped it off again though.

A.:D

[Scottie]

Just got to wait on it arriving and the plasti dip.:Whistle:

[RyanK]

Aye I did it with electrical tape but ripped it off. Now have 12mm pinstripe tape from halfords £4:thumbs up:

Perfect size for r50/53

[bry_mini]

Was thinking of doing this myself, was wondering though that when i wash it if it would stay on??

[Smitty]

Aye I did it with electrical tape but ripped it off. Now have 12mm pinstripe tape from halfords £4:thumbs up:

Does this look good Ryan?

And as Bry said - does it not come off when you wash the car?

[RyanK]

yeh looks good (imo anyway). Does come off at the ends after several washes but for £4 just buy some more :D

Only comes off after around 10 washes, not majorly though. The ends just start lifting
