Thanks for watching, paint prep is key if you are doing that as the paint doesn’t stick easily to them otherwise more people would have done it, I tried and failed. Back to tape for me

@@rickynelson9647 you can get proper belt line tape on eBay from a number of sellers specific for the Mini. Make sure you clean the chrome with a degreaser and let it fully dry before trying to stick It on

Love the video. Clips everywhere, lol. What kind of paint did you use? The wrap guys kind of did a continuous wrap over the hood and beltline. It’s parking on the beltline a bit. Thanks man!

I remember on my R53 (rip) a decent amount of the clips were broken... you'd have to remove the glass to replace those.... I think.

@tweedbean 5 жыл бұрын

I actually replaced a couple under the windscreen. I couldn’t fit them as they are as like you say you would need to remove the glass, so I actually dremeled the back edge of the clip slightly and it slid right under the glass 👍🏼

What about he rubber around the window just above the clips can you change that ? Mines slightly torn about and inch right where the door meets

The belt line trim is all one piece so have to replace that section of belt line if that’s the rubber you are on about

I have a blue r53 s with white mirrors, roof and stripes do you think black would look better than chrome?

@tweedbean 4 жыл бұрын

I personally think chrome can work with a white roof etc, what colour are your wheels? Is the rest of the car stock?

@Muzzaa 4 жыл бұрын

White wheels and yes rest of the car is stock it doesnt look bad just wondering if black would look better

@Paul-mb3om 2 жыл бұрын

Just a quick heads up:. The front windshield clips are going to snap in half left and right. Go ahead and order a minimum of 4 trim inserts (part number 51317111933) and maybe a few of the retaining clips, they don't break as easily. The door panels rear panels and hatch trim did not have nearly as many problems and were actually pretty easy.

Only thing you have to be careful is breaking the clips as these cars are getting old so all the plastic clips under the glass can snap. Not sure how easy they are to replace.
