    Man your videos are actually too good foe youtube. Great quality and no bs, just a shame that only clickbait nonsense gets subs on this platform. You deserve a tonne more

    Excellent video. Not long bought a similar age JCW and also looking to de chrome. No great shakes at bodywork removal so I’m looking to add the stick over light and grille covers. Nicely BS free info. 👌

    Is there an alternative I've missed out there for the beltline or am I just going to have to bite the bullet and order it from Mini? 😅

      Just the vinyl (I gave up with that...) or genuine replacement from Mini. Not cheap!

    I get it as it looks cool BUT the chrome looks cool as well and the inside has chrome. At this rate, chrome will be more unique. Chrome gives it contrast more than the black...

    I’m looking to do similar, but I fear that the stripes have been in place too long on the bonnet. I just brought a ten year old, and to add to that, it’s red. How old was your car when you pulled the stripes?

    • @lookship
      @lookship  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It was 6. Needed a polish.

  • @8evvied

    Definitely looks a lot better after the chrome delete.
    Just bought a JCW myself and it’s a 21 reg so they started doing the black packs at this point but conveniently left the belt line chrome….
    How much did Mini charge you for the OEM black belt line?
    Also, great JCW content mate!

    Hi mate, where did you get the plinth from for £40? Mines cracked so need to change it.. was it a quick / easy enough job getting the bumper off? I'm clumsy as anything with DIY lol

    • @lookship
      @lookship  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Really easy taking the bumper off. Plenty of tutorials on here that's why I didn't bother making one. Unfortunately, you need to take the grille surround off too to remove the plinth and it's quite tricky. The listing has expired now, closest I can find is £65.

    • @lookship
      @lookship  ปีที่แล้ว

      Fairly sure it is. Most websites selling aftermarket parts I've seen are just reselling from Chinese wholesalers with a bigger profit margin. Fair play to them, easy way to make some money. Saw it a lot when I had the M140i. Don't get me wrong there are companies out there than spend a lot on R&D to produce their own stuff, but for daft things like mirror caps or rolls of vinyl you'll find they all come from the same factory.
