MINI Cooper S Gets Blacked Out in Russia

Somehow, MINI messed up the design of the Cooper S, making it a bit bland and boring, so the only way to get it looking goo is to go for custom finishes everywhere possible.

One solution would be a special edition, however, there’s always the aftermarket wrap industry that has a good fix for this problem.

This MINI Cooper’s owner wanted to protect the car from scratches but ended up also giving it the matte look it deserved. Because chrome doesn’t go well with this, every surface that used to be shiny has been blacked out. This includes the grille, the headlights surrounds the scoop and the wheels, which were powder-coated.

The black accents go well with the gray body, expressing the matte nature of the sporty MINI. The Germans really should think about offering this as a factory finish.
