Hi, can anyone reccomend anywhere that can paint the black plastic trims that surround the wheel arches and the bottom on the bumper ? I would like it colour coding the same as the car.

If anyone can help that would be great

Hi Ollie and welcome to MINI2!!

Some friendly dealers will colour code your trim, but its a job that undertakable by any good bodyshop!! Just ensure that they are familiar with painting plastics...

Just make sure that you use a VERY well respected painter, cheap jobs looks SO bad. It might be worth spending double the money for a better job.

Expect to pay a few hundred quid for a good job. Worth it though - my current MINI is colour coded and the JCW I'm buying will be as soon as I get my hands on it.

Approach your dealer or dealer approved bodyshop for a start, then shop around for quotes and see what you come up with.

£800 from BMW I just got quoted for my new S...and that's with Aero kit already on so there's not much plastic left to do!!

I want a good job doing on it though that's not going to chip/wear easily, but half that price would still be a lot IMO.

Find out which bodyshop they use, then go direct to them and haggle.
