- In today's episode I am showing you how to remove the beltline on a F56 Mini Cooper hatch. I will be replacing the chrome beltline with a black one which was purchased directly from BMW.
I previously have done a 'How To Black Pack Your Mini' video and didn't have the beltline available so thought I would do a separate video showing you how to do this as well so that you can fully black pack your Mini.
If you like my 'How To' Mini videos, please comment below which video/s you would like me to do next.

Thanks for this. Just done mine, I was struggling with the rear sides then checked your video again to see that clip part needed removing. Good video nice and simple!
Thanks for doing a cracking video on the Beltline.Now I can order one and put it on myself without paying silly fitting prices from mini.👍
Hi Ricky. Glad you liked the video. Yes you can order the parts directly from BMW and fit yourself, that's exactly what I did. I ordered them from Sytner BMW in Harold Wood but you will be able to order them from your local BMW dealership from their parts department.
Beltline.Now link does not work here in the U.S.
@@liverpooloflife8731 bought mine last week from Seattle Mini... was here in a week.. installed today. And a great thanks to the Mini Guy for the video!
Looks great. Is there a similar kit available for the F60 CountryMan 2018?
Hi!
Great work! Do you have part numbers for the F60?
Saved me £150 as that’s what I was quoted from the garage. Thank you so much!
Looks cool with the black trim .. very nice 👍
That is a serious mod, bit expensive but better than the cheap tape some are selling.
You say that but I've got tape and it's still going strong after 2 years need to take it nice and slowly when applying and also use a heat gun or hair dryer.
Nice one for this, give me a bit more confidence to do mine myself...will see if I go grow the balls to do mine when the weather is better 😂
1:44 "Just applying pressure.... down there.... to her her ON" 🤣
I prefer the chrome on my f56 it gives it more of a classic mini look. The black really only suits the JCW models
I am looking at your video, because I have a damaged chrome side trim. I can’t see how anyone would think the black looks better than the chrome? Many thanks for the fitting tips
some people just like the all black look! for me personally, i have a red mini, and i think the black would go really well with the red paint of the car and to match my black bonnet stripes too! but i do think that in some cases the chrome could look better too. Its all in your own personal preference.
Is there a black belt line from Mini for the F54?
I am looking to make my mini all black, black trim and I might be able to get it resprayed for cheap. Great video easy to follow, but was wondering if you could link where you bought the parts, can't seem to find them anywhere on the mini / bmw website.
Wicked video I’m after just the driver side rear strip above the fuel cap. How do I get that bit. And also do they door strips not click I was listening for the click but couldn’t hear them ? Thanks
thanks for the video. i removed mine and sprayed it jet black. perfect as this new one in this video😅
did you take any special precaution in the preparation? like sanding or something like that?
I've heard some mad prices for the trim set. Can you give me the price you had to pay BMW Mini for that kit? Cheers
I love the way it looks I just wish it wasnt $500 compared to $20 for the tape method
What’s the tape method
@@wowed1659 using the existing parts and covering with black vinyl, CK wraps channel has a full tutorial on how to dechrome using vinyl if this is something you're interested in.
@@adamfrench9026 thanks for the info my man💯💯
@@wowed1659 No problem bro good luck 👍
@@adamfrench9026 thanks🤝
Hi!
Do you know how to remove the yellow S from the bumper? It is a F56 2022.
Thanks
Looks great. Could you do a video on retro fitting ambient lighting?
Great vid. I need to replace a vandalised trim on my r56 mini. Assume the tricky clipped on ones on the rear are similar on my model.... Someone tried to pull them off whilst parked! Where did you get the blue trim tool?
You got the link for these? Or did you go to a local BMW dealer to get them?
What is that blue tool you used?
Please drop links to the part you purchased?
Hi would this be the same for a countryman 2017? How much was the belt line replacement kit Plz? Also could you do a indicator led change Plz, love video really helpful x
Where get this kit do they do same trim kit for mini 2012
My girlfriend has a 2019 countryman s all4 in chili red. Going to have the roof rails painted in black and the rocker panels below the doors painted in black too. No silver anymore. I was told they don't make the "beltline" in black. Any idea if they do for the F60? If so do you know the part number?
Nice one 👍👊 Thank you for the demo and info. UK
Plasti dipped mine look great and cheap to do
Is there a part number for this belt line ? But I am driving F57. I am not sure the part is same
Good informative video but this should already be standard on a car with everything already blacked out. BMW marketing obviously knows what they're doing here charging £300+ for bits of plastic.
That's MINI (BMW) for you... A couple sites here in the States charging almost $600+ for the kit..
This is standard on the sports spec/JCWs, hence the kit was available in the first place
Hello there, do you have this for the clubman F54?
I’d be too terrified of breaking something. Looks much better though.
Thanks for that. Mine are on the way £238 from cotswold Bmw/Mini
I have an all black edition LCI 2 and the only thing that is crome are these trims. Going to order this as well, as the chrome is driving me crazy! 🫢
Thanks for the great video! Helped a ton!
Wow! looks good ! Thats my next mod to my Light White 2015 Mini S Countryman😊
Sounds good! I would love to see it when you get it done. You'll have to send a picture to me on Instagram or Facebook :)
@@TheOfficialMiniGuy will do😊
Hello I live in USA and I would like to order the blackout kit for my 2018 MiNi Clubman S All4. Do you have the kit model number or were I can order it?
👍nice, good job bro.
for clubman also available?
Nice video, very helpfull. Did you get that from an online site ? I'm in France and I don't know where to get this black beltline.
Bonjour je suis français également avez vous trouvé le site où l’on peu s’en procurer ? Merci
Really helpful video thanks for uploading. Could you tell me the part number for the kit please 😎
Hi James, glad you liked the video. The part numbers for the beltline are - 3dr: 51135A0B944 & 5dr: 51135A0B943 - I hope this helps!
@@TheOfficialMiniGuyjust found your page! Incredible videos! Would this belt kit still be the same today for a 2023 3dr model?
this version costs around 500£ / my version plastidip 15£ -> same results
Tu les a acheté sur quel site ?
Merci
your version looks like cheap shit after a month
Plastidip wont last nearly as long
@@jmains yes it is very durable!
Hello! it is possible to paint the chrome beltline instead ? thanks
Plasti dipped mine, if you make a mistake peel off and start again
Hola! Donde has conseguido los perfiles negros? Precio? Gracias y un saludo.
Hola, encontraste donde venden ?
@@alvarodro101 que va! Los he vinilado al final!!
Question how much does all that cost to replace the chrome trim i cud do with doin that on my mini
Depends where you buy it, from mini well over 1k, kill all chrome you can get a dechrome kit that costs around £300 but that gives you the tape for the beltline, I bought that but never bothered with the tape and have just bought the proper beltline kit from mini for £250 in a sale!
Where can you get a beltline for a R56 from.
I'm using this video to remove my R56 trim. I'm gonna use Dupli primer and trim paint to refinish my trim. I'm not posting BMW $600 for the black kit.
Wow. I'm sitting here looking at the $1,400 quote to fix the chrome (the rubber has deteriorated with age)... and thinking... why would I pay the shop to do this!? They want $300.00 in labor to do this.
They think you’re a sucker
Previous owner of my F56 cheaped out and used Plasti-Dip. Looked like hell!!
Someone have partnumber for f54 kit?
Does it really come if that easily? Any anyone else tired it?
Yeah it’s really easy. A trim pry tool really helps for the back three, but the front just pull off 👍🏻 just make sure you haven’t got any dirt/grit around when using the pry tool!
Mini belt line
So I’ve been doing the tape method wrong the whole time 😭
need to replace mine as it is looking terrible
15 for tape vs 500 for new parts... think ill go with taping -_-
excellent guide tho btw
Just managed to buy the original Mini beltline kit for my F55 for £200. I don’t like the cheap aftermarket products from the likes of Killachrome.
Where did u buy it from.?
Nicolas Cage? 😅 You can work on it
The rear window belt line trim is a beatch! Another marketing scam...you will break or bend either when taking it off or when reinstalling!
Вандал какой-то, полмашины покоцал мне кажется😂
Proper word is “beading” not belt line
It’s better with crome
I've never understood why people pay crazy amounts of money for these mods when yes you're right the chrome looks just as good, each to their own I suppose
