wow it a mini one standard apart from 17" wheels and body colour arch trims and skirts
no body kit just resprayed

Interesting picture. But I think painted wheel arches look best on darker colors - like black or perhaps BRG or Indi Blue.

batemano · Apr 3rd, 2002, 01:53 PM

Nice

. Does anyone no if the BMW dealers spray the arches?

PIT · Apr 3rd, 2002, 01:53 PM

here this way a darker color:

smiffy · Apr 3rd, 2002, 01:59 PM

The Red ONE needs some more chrome

Exactly my point about darker colors looking better with painted arches! Thanks PIT!

yes mine quoted me $350 plus vat will get it done in the summer!

Ya gotta love the mini. I keep seeing new variations all of which are very interesting. Keep 'em coming. Thanks.

I didn't realize you could get the trim sprayed. I still think I'm going for the side skirts only and leaving the back and the front as is with as much chrome as possible.

The mini one sits higher then the cooper
I thought they were 16 " as well but the owner of the car told my that they were 17" didn't look for myself though

Apial · Apr 3rd, 2002, 04:13 PM

How durable is the paint? I once owned a specced up G-Wagen that had had the arches sprayed too. After 4 years the paint started to peel, and once water got into it, everytime there was a frost some more paint flaked off.

ELISEBOY · Apr 3rd, 2002, 05:00 PM

yep thats bond street

car looks nice but now i have seen the Works S there is no other which is worthy!!!

KarmanS · Apr 3rd, 2002, 05:07 PM

agree to the point that painted arches look better on darker colors. That BRG cooper looks just right especially with the dual exhaust and 5 spoke rims

I would imagine bigger rims look better with painted arches. just a thought.
