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

[@lookship]

I appreciate that cheers man. Gotta keep it real like Ian Beale.

[@m4rtin81]

Looks far better, think it would look even cleaner with the front badge removed also.

[@steve75112]

mmmhmm and leave 2 holes in the bonnet too

[@ridders]

Noticed you've done the same as me and made the lower front grille pop with the two red inserts. Good man!

[@lookship]

Hi buddy You've won the June giveaway! Please fire me a DM over on Instagram @lookship so we can exchange a few personal details and get the prizes sent over 😃 Congrats 🎉

[@CaptMaxz]

Love the color on that F56 JCW, I had a F55 S in the same color! As soon as my budget allows for a fun car I will be picking up a F56 JCW

[@gavinradforth2284]

The front looks so much better with the black grill surround & headlamp surrounds makes the red on the grill pop

[@dubbadude]

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. 👌

[@DaIIen]

New set of Alloys for me mate. Would transform the exterior!

[@lookship]

Next on the list 👌

[@Makkster]

Great timing, my lad has picked up a cooper S and wants to dechrome his too! Thanks for sharing!

[@robertblackburn752]

I love the chrome on my Mini Cooper S but then I’m a bit of a flash git anyway

[@lookship]

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? 😅

[@georgeacres4]

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

[@blinkinbadger6164]

Nice motor ! Definitely get those noddy red mirrors painted the same colour as the body !! They do look wanky in red 👍

[@joshuavickers4721]

That has just finished it off nicely now 😉

[@michaelzero5144]

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...

[@lookship]

Chrome is the devil

[@matthewlloyd90]

Really good channel. New to it. I have a cooper s and this video has given me ideas. Thanks 😊

[@precool]

Nice job!✨✨

[@lookship]

Thanks 👌

[@CASyHD.]

I would love to see the aliexpress Badges :D

[@sarnieken]

Just got my F56 a week ago and already done the belt line. Will be using vinyl to do the light surrounds. Which bit of Yorkshire are you at?

[@lookship]

Very tip of the North

[@mherbert3646]

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]

It was 6. Needed a polish.

[@torrey133]

Needs an exhaust

[@lookship]

100%

[@robbier3661]

Show the installation please!!

[@garyproctor9907]

Have you still got the grom ?

[@lookship]

Long story, but yes. Will be making a video on it over the next couple of weeks 👍

[@Jonzie1997]

looks a different car👍🏼😍

[@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!

[@ItsBHopeful]

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]

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.

[@ItsBHopeful]

@@lookship Thank you! Might have to have a crack at it then as Mini wanted £150 in labour to do it!

[@harveyburrows3283]

Do you have to declare it?

[@CrazzieGamer]

Can you do a comparison between the Mini and the Fiesta ST

[@lookship]

Mmmm possibly

[@longday3139]

Never realised there was so much chrome. Isnt black just cheaper?

[@Jonnym96]

👍🏼👍🏼

[@scottyd5486]

🔥🔥

[@stevesanders5949]

Did you get any further forward with a petrol cap? I'm gonna start dechroming my jcw soon

[@sallyclark9504]

Great video

[@jamesbaker4582]

Chrome gets you home

[@harryspindley6474]

Looks mega mate👍

[@xswlshy4006]

🙌🙌🙌

[@jackya145]

I actually prefer the chrome yet here I am buying a sidewalk w black trim sigh

[@lookship]

CHROME FOR THE BIN 🤮🤣

[@sprocket-YT]

4:04 I'd be suprised if it's the same vinyl!

[@lookship]

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.

[@sprocket-YT]

@@lookship can’t see if it’s the company I’m thinking of especially with the level of sales…. majority of eBay sales would get poor feedback if they sold China vinyl 👀

Elementary School in America ? Your killing the English Language .Must not have been included in your budget.
