Talking Starting to Mod the MINI....

Last week I installed Xpel to the front of the MINI. This weekend I installed factory Aero sideskirts. I also had a 35% tint professionally installed. (I'm not up to that!) See below for before and after pics of the side skirts. I think it gives it a lower, racier look. If that can be said for such a little box! The tint is already done in the pictures.

The skirts add a nice touch.

I like the 2nd picture it looks like there is just one long straight window; its a clean design

Looks nice! With a good tint, Pepper White is growing on me.

"If that can be said for such a little box! "
Back in the day those words would be considered treason

Nice job with the widow tint (it does look like just one long window) and the mini-skirt.

Everything looks great Brad. What brand of tint did you go for? Now, is it Julie's turn to get that tip chip she was talking about at the Autopian GTG?

Looking great. Love the shirts. They make the Mini look like the top has been chopped by visually changing the beltline.
