[I love MINI, Laura]

Maybe this is all you would have to do for your black & chrome wheels Serby?

[85NIXMIN]

Very nice MINI... your making me want to change mine too... *groan*

[mister.t]

Very nice I think we might get some white lenses for ours, orange ones look like undercooked egg yoke lol. Certainly looking forward to seeing the end result

Lovely Serby

[Serby]

Many thanks for the comments everyone

Cheers in particular to Rams for the advice, I'm going to get in contact with the people I bought my wheels from as I always visualised my R56 on my black and chromies I think they should suit it really well with me having the Piano Black interior and Gloss Black mirror caps

The clear side repeaters transform the look of the car, especially with it being White.... if only the front and rear indicators were equally as easy to do

I'm going to take my time with the mods as I don't want the car to look tacky, saying that, I've got a few little mods planned for the weekend

Fingers crossed I can get some different bolts for my wheels, thanks again for the advice everyone

Spence you buying EVEN more stuff off serby

Serby thats a good choice the new R56 one and thats some collection you have had would be great if we could keep all our old cars for a collection, well some of the good one's anyway, hope the wait is not to long

[Serby]

Cheers Yeahh, I wish I could have kept my previous cars, in particular the Mini Cooper Sport.. that was a fantastic car!

I rang the place I bought my wheels from today, but they're not open until Monday The OEM R56 nuts fit through the holes on my wheels (but there is no room for a spanner to tighten them up)... so hopefully they will do a thicker diameter version of the bolts I use on my black and chromies so I can get them fitted

Other than that I've just done a couple of little mods... boot badging, tax disc holder and I've customised the side grills a little bit

[adam_Randell]

i like the 'S E R B Y' on your tailgate! kinda like th Vauxhall Astra

[yorkslad]

Wow I really love your side grills, how did you do that? they look really classy on P/W

[Matts Mini Adventure]

loving the lettering on boot handel i've done that too mine today too but on my side grills

ur boot handle will be a pain to polish now tho!

[mister.t]

Loving that!! Especially the side repeaters

[Serby]

Cheers for the comments everyone

lol! I've made my car look like an Astra?! I never thought of that Although those new Astras are tasty motors

I nearly bought some Aero Kit Side Repeaters off Ebay yesterday... but instead I thought I'd have a go customising the standard ones.

I just used some stick on chrome trim, which comes in a roll, from most car accessory shops. It just so happens that it is nearly a perfect fit for the 3 indentations on the side grills, meaning the finished result looks pretty darn sweet I'd like to think!

loving the side grills - never been a fan of the plain black, but they look ace with the chrome strips - just breaks it up

[supa-dupa-cooper]

Take it easy on the stick-on chrome trim! I saw a car a while back with stick-on chrome everywhere and it was a monument to tackiness!

I think Serby's mod is minimal enough to not look tacky.

Looks cool in my opinion.

Excellent matey-All plated up now as well
