Yes! Just keep the chrome rings or go body colour like Zimbo, Imo anyways. I personally would do an antracite/grey joey mod on a pepper white car. Black is becoming to super played and think a lighter shade would work better.

Will look sweet

I would say defo yes, however only if you intend to keep the car for a while and can turn it back to standard when it comes time to sell. I wouldn't do anything that can't be reversed.

A defo from me too baz, let me know how hard it is, fancy this too, it's a nice look. Think the light rings would look good in the pepper white too.

defo... and i agree with the view of making the chrome rings body coloured/pepper white.

Think i will go for it when i'm finally brave enough :p

I want to modify the car using only Mini parts and its basically why i haven't done this sooner, but since mini are now doing the Joey mod to the new special editions i'm more keen to go for it as it wont look as aftermarket now.

When i trade the car in the lights will stay the same, however i requested the original skirts and trim that i will put back on so i can transfer my aerokit :thumbs up:

Will have this car for another 2 years then move to a used Cooper S so i can then afford my own place :p:smilewinkgrin:

Yes from me, i think it works really well against the white body colour of your MINI. :thumbs up::thumbs up:

Ha ha, go for it Baz. I did mine and it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be, the hardest parts for me were seperating the glass from the housing and painting the Xenon cover itself...

I was maybe thinking of getting rid of mine and swapping with someone else for there standard unpainted xenons, but have not made a firm decision on that yet!! :rolleyes:
