Quick question, what did you do to the CF roof? Does it come that shiny, the only ones I have seen / used it is matte in color. You mentioned vinyl/tire cleaner. Does it keep it's shine, or does it turn into matte after a while? The CF roof looks similar to wet CF. I like the way it turned out. If you didn't like the red of the OEM tails, you could have tinted them with a dark tint. Also you may want to look into the chrome window surround blackout kit. I have this on mine. It covers the chrome trim around the windows. It holds up really well. I still have original install and it was done in 08. Not bad for $12.95.

I´m actually happy with the lights, even though I know not everyone shares that opinion.
Covering the chrome around the windows would be great! Will be a project for the spring... My winter wheels are unfortunately silver.
The site you linked to only carries stuff for Minis, did you buy the same thing elsewhere for the ISF or does it fit the ISF for some reason? I haven´t seen that product before...
I bought 2 rolls just in case. Yes it is for the mini. I used to have a mini, and used this product. When I got the F, I thought of using the same thing. It works perfectly. Just buy 2 rolls, just in case you mess up, or need to replace any down the road. 1 roll was just a little short to do all of the F windows, 2 rolls was plenty. I used to have my roof done in the di-noc, but I took it to a detailer and he used a buffer on it, before I could stop him at it scratched it all up. I removed it and planned on doing it again. I will look for the shinier stuff, it looks great.

Did you guys need the 2 rolls? Would you suggest buying 2? Also, did you buy the Gen 1 Mini tape, or a different Gen?
No problem. It is probably the easiest mod you can do, that makes a huge difference look wise.

Coming home to Sweden from a week abroad I had to face snowfall when leaving the airport on summer tires... (see the first pic).
Fortunately already the day after weather changed and I had the time to wash and wax the F Wanted to add these pictures as "before" pictures. Upcoming days I will do some "blackening". Black Pearl emblems, Black out tape and Black grille.
Also ordered new tires (Michelin Super Sports, 275/30 and 245/35) going on in about a week.
Upcoming is a Borla system and hopefully a diffusor and front spoiler
