If I may ask though why did you get cheap cover ups? Cause they're cheap? Why not go with using your original parts and either stripping the chrome off and painting them or sending them out to be done? Would it not look better especially having the original parts and them not being covers but the actual thing? I tried covers like that with some interior stuff in my charger when I had it and they fell off after a couple weeks to a month :/. Just thought I'd ask.
Thank you, Lucy. I'm enjoying watching a female, as a female who is non-mechanically inclined, giving me ideas that I could do on my own. I had no idea about such kits.
YESSSS another Lucy video. Mini's aren't even my thing (more the 90's japanese peformance cars) but this is already coming along nicely. And as always, the unique editing style coming through really well.
Binging on your videos from Los Angeles. Loving the production that goes into it with lots funny bits as well. Watching your videos makes me want a Mini as well! Well done on this project 🖤!!
Nice to see some realism for car modification rather than the glossy Men and Motors car rebuild in 45 minutes. James steals the show in his bright Yellow puffer jacket ☀️
If it's not too personal a thing to do, could you please do a video on your brother's mini workshop and how you got into filming and working at Drivetribe?
Car girl here! Love the video! I was planning on de-chroming. But can’t decide if I want to buy the solid parts or the adhesive covers. I was worried about dirt & grime getting underneath the adhesive covers. Any thoughts on that?
A Mini in that color drove past me yesterday on one of our back roads. So pleased that I remembered to look in the three-or-so seconds I had to observe it. Chromed. I definitely like your dechromed version better.
i had this kit but here in the netherlands just like england it's 8 months of bad weather after 4 months the adhesive tape came of i lost the front strip while driving and 1 emblem cover...:(
Good Job, when you wrote “de-chrome’ I seriously thought you were going to remove the chrome plating in some way!!!! But the only downside I see is that the extra thickness of the plastic covers may look strange in some places. Are they very thick?
Great job, it did make me laugh when you started all posh with the wipes then towards the end the use of the shirt came into play lol but looks fantasic. Doing mine over next few days ' regards Jason
For those asking here’s where I got the kit: shop.mwuk.uk/
The front bumpa lmao oh my gosh your so cute. You do know it's a er sound not a pa sound yes yes? You gorgeous goofball 🤩

I didn't think that I would like the dechrome, but it looks quite ace.
Obviously works on some cars. I think it works on a mini, but on my camaro, I don’t think so.

And on the next episode of "Unpimp my ride" James May will tear out this kit while yelling "STANDARD!" 😁
Yeah looks good, especially the front grill with the added trim.

Laughed m.a.o with the 'alcoholic wipe' bit, so nice that you keep these things in. The dechrome looks so much better, well done!
The black finishes look so much better.
The "Black" Mini is cooler than with chrome. Small things make a big difference.
Just don't leave it unattended anywhere near James May #STANDARD!!
I know this is two years later, but it's looking good. Love your vids, keep up the good work!
Looks good. Wasn't sure about the change, but it gives it an edge. Well done. A good how-to and look-what-I've-done, all in one.
Looks very smart. The black and white suit each other very well 👍🏻👍🏻
White and black go together well. Looks great .
I'm in the process of dechroming my 2012 MCS, so far I've installed the blackout tail lights and gas cap
I prefer the gloss black but it looks great without all the chrome!
Looks great with the black kit, black wheels might be nice too
Looks great! Makes the Mini pop.
Had a look on the website pretty cool how they put yours on there

Glad you like them! Thanks
Hoping to do the same to my Miss Luna Binky very soon ….nice work !
The “alcoholic wipe” got me 😂 love it

STOCK!
Outstanding work and it looks killer! Well done you!! Sucks that TH-cam didn't notify me that this had gone up.
If it's not too personal a thing to do, could you please do a video on your brother's mini workshop and how you got into filming and working at Drivetribe?
Didn't like how it looked that much, but man did I enjoy watching it. It's got the May doing mundane things vibe.
I want to do gloss black on my Mini. Nice job , it looks like people can just come and take it off.
Looks better with the chrome.
Looks wicked. 💫
This makes a huge difference, black is much better than the chrome. Is there any links to where you bought the dechrome? Thanks.
Looks way better. 👍👍👍
Love it! I just got a 2013 Clubman and will be doing it too.
Great first attempt, keep up the good work
Those stick on are bound to come off over time. Painting would be better IMO but I do like the de-chrome.
Great work Lucy 😀
With your car being pepper the black accents compliment it in a monochrome way, but I would’ve left it chromed, it makes the colours ‘pop’ IMO
It looks good!
Car girl here! Love the video! I was planning on de-chroming. But can’t decide if I want to buy the solid parts or the adhesive covers. I was worried about dirt & grime getting underneath the adhesive covers. Any thoughts on that?
Looks hella cool! Nice
So cool how customizable Minis are. Digging the matte black. The biggest question is: would James say it’s standard or casual?
He would say: planty of it! Casual is my guess.
Black alloys would look cool now I’d say 👌
Oh my god, good that you had a good title otherwise i couldn't see the difference!
The lower ground effects kit that is on the front of your brothers car. Where did he get it? Is there a walk around video of his car? Nice video..
A Mini in that color drove past me yesterday on one of our back roads. So pleased that I remembered to look in the three-or-so seconds I had to observe it. Chromed. I definitely like your dechromed version better.
Gets my vote 👍
Love the videos, love your voice, and I enjoy all the great content. Looking forward to more and more videos.
Those double sided tape backing is a B to get off. Nice job!
Just bought myself a mini cooper r50 brg loving it but there's too much chome im definitely looking into some of the mods
i had this kit but here in the netherlands just like england it's 8 months of bad weather after 4 months the adhesive tape came of i lost the front strip while driving and 1 emblem cover...:(
Where do you order that kit at & How much do they run. Good job on tour videos. 👍
Got to love that Karambit crimson web from csgo xD
Also it seems odd to close at 7:30 #notreallyhelpfulcomment.
Yeah, I thought that was stupid as hell too.
Good Job, when you wrote “de-chrome’ I seriously thought you were going to remove the chrome plating in some way!!!! But the only downside I see is that the extra thickness of the plastic covers may look strange in some places. Are they very thick?
Not that thick, only about 1mm I reckon, they clip on in a way that they don’t really stick out.
;) nice to see a young lady who doesn’t mind getting her “hands dirty” working on their ride!
@@timetotalkwatches7185 didn't really got dirty at all. There's nothing complicated in putting trims on.
Where did you get the parts from?
great vid, thanks for posting :)
Great job, it did make me laugh when you started all posh with the wipes then towards the end the use of the shirt came into play lol but looks fantasic. Doing mine over next few days ' regards Jason
Nasty! well done!... Mel UK
Next do the belt line
Love the dechrome look and this was a nice change of pace for a car mod video. I also think i have a crush on Lucy now.
I really like the dechrome, could you tell me where can I order a kit like that for my r53??
SMPS or killallchrome are good stores to go for
Looking awesome, really suits your mini =)
It looks nice. Where did you get that karambit from?
Hi Lucy, few year on, did it wear well?
yo lucy can u bless the link of where u ordered the de-chroming kit from? would preciate it!!
shop.mwuk.uk/collections/body-styling
your first mistake was using Kill All Chrome! LOL!.. overall decent result though :)
DIRTY!? You should see my car, Lucy.
Awesome video BTW ;)
Run for the gate, hahaha 😆
hi how did you take the bottom strip off on your grill ? thanks x
Where did u purchase this kit from and how much?
How to install graphics on bottom of both doors, tools required etc.. Thanks
Were you happy with how well the chrome was covered? My Cooper is black and I'm thinking of dechroming it
Lucy's car; I've been sitting in a hot sun all day I am so hot
Any car in Florida USA; Hold my beer
Hi lucy, great video. these look really cool especially with the cream paintwork 😍 where can i get these de chromed parts for my cooper?
That poor bump in the left side rear.... what did you back into?
This is so lovely to watch and I hope you make more
Love
From Cap Town, South Africa 🇿🇦
Geeeezzer!!
Fix the rear bodywork.... that would have been priority then doing the dechrome after.
How did the covers hold up over time?
Good job. I honestly don't understand why any car has chrome after about 1960.
What about the 70s? You missed a whole decade. After the seventies though, I’m not sure about chrome, but I do like myself some chrome.
What's an alcoholic wipe? Is it like an alcohol wipe?
I love it!
Glossy would have been nicer?🍁
Matte Black Everything! 🤟🏽 That Karambit knife though! 😅😂
I expected you would take off every piece of chrome and give it a plastidip. Not sure if I like this way, just see how long it stays on.
Can we just mull over, "my mum has a Mini workshop."
Hey where did you get those dechrome parts?
Greetings from Germany
I got them from my brother's shop :) shop.mwuk.uk/
Wherer did you get those Parts???
Dude, where did you get everything from?! Also, love it!
*Edit: wording
Seeing that James May was not there to correct you I'll say it for him, "for the second time, It is not a bumper trim, it is for the grill. "

does it go faster in black?
Was the dechroming kit expensive?
I’m not sure, I got everything at cost from the supplier for about £230, so I’m guessing a little bit more than that.
How did you dent the rear corner? Sure your brother could help with that.
It was dented when I got it, getting the bodywork fixed is next on the list though :)
@@LucyBrownVids cool beans!!
Awesome video! Where did you get this kit? I’m trying to dechrome my 2017 four door Mini Cooper s and need help lol! Love your content btw
Thanks, I got the dechrome hit here shop.mwuk.uk/collections/body-styling/products/black-headlight-taillight-surrounds-mini-r56-r57-r58-r59
@@LucyBrownVids coo, not cheap but looks good.
I like it!
? Did any of those fall off while driving ?
Not yet :)
Nice 👌🏻
Was that sped up 600 times or 600%? Surely 600 times means that took you 10 minutes per second of footage which seems ludicrous to say the least
My bad, it was 600% :)
You need black wheels now
