I was really unsure before you started this, but when it was finished I changed my mind. It finishes it off just right. Looking forward to seeing how you fare getting the letters off the back doors. Another great video, thanks.

Wow!! What a difference. So satisfying to do too. Had to laugh with the stickers inside the handles stating which door, just the sort of thing I would do in my rush to get them fitted 😂. It a great improvement and finishes it nicely.

Fantastic! It's the subtle mods that make a massive impact for me. Love the dechrome look, was the first thing I did on my mini JCW too!

I’ve got an R56 Cooper S, watching your videos are just making me want to do more and more to mine! Keep them coming great content!! I took mine to Lohen for a stage 1 after watching you get the performance pack 2, it’s fair to say what a difference!

Just started subscribing to you the last 6 months, ive got a 2020 pepper white jcw clubman with black roof and wheels and thanks to you ive just ordered fullset of black door handles, badges a rear lettering. Car is still being ceramic coated and im about to order the Remus exhaust i saw on a previous video of yours. Thank you so much for your excellent videos. Cheers Robin

Looks great! Wasn’t sure when you mentioned doing the handles, but it really works. Much more cohesive. Charlie’s looking good. The rear doors will look much cleaner without the lettering. Looking forward to seeing the finished result. Oh, and I’ve used sponges to clean my cars for over 30 years and I’ve never scratched one. It all depends on how careful you are.

Quality Pete, thoroughly enjoyable watching you transform your JCW. The nerves at the start and the euphoria during and after make for some serious entertainment. Personally, the handles and badges look immense, the belt-line imperfections would annoy the hell out of me, but then I am overly fastidious. I think all things considered, you’ve done a brilliant job all round and Charlie looks excellent. Great content as always buddy, look forward to the de-badging.

Would love to get a clubman, and watching Charlie is making me salivate! That said - like every other sensible person, I am currently getting about 4 weeks to the gallon! :D Fair play to smps 2012 - Looks like they do some quality kit! WE have a 2011 Cooper D, I would love to fit "italian job" spotlights to it!

Great video bro but I love the chrome on my r53 JCW mini and my e46 m3 and I do think it looks amazing 😉 on your car but that’s what makes the world such a great place we all have different taste

Use nylon fishing line, will cut through the adhesive backing behind the clubman lettering.then use some ‘sticky stuff’ glue remover. Bit of polish then job done. It would look even better without the front/back mini badges removed but if you like them on that’s all good. Just looked unfortunately mini have pin holes behind the badges so then you need a body shop to fill and spray😩 Thanks again for these Carvid 19 blogs👍😄👏

Great job Pete! Looks great! You know you could have used the tip of a Stanley knife to lift the backing off of the tape! Lol

Somthing so Simple can be so Affective at times they look a super good fit as well definitely transform the sides of the car

The badges look great.I like the way the rear handles mirror the wipers.

Your car is looking great. The clubman letters would drive me mad too! Stay safe!

I’d have to get the genuine piano black door handles on that as you’ve comfort access! Covers always make the handles look to chunky. Genuine black badges too 👍🏻

Great de-chroming...easy and backwards compatible Looks awesome 😎

Looking good. I run the caps on my mini. For your clubman badge use a little bit if heat and some dental floss behind the letters to remove them. Then something to remove the glue reside, wd40 works but I use a tar and glue remover

Easy, Peesie , Lemon Squeezy 👍. Looks ace Peter. Keep ‘em coming. Stay safe everyone.

De-chromed my Mocha Black CLS AMG 63S door handle tops. Took it to a paint shop, they painted them, matched to body colour. Didn’t cost too much, great finish, after 2 years paint still looks like new, was worried it might come off with use, especially driver’s door. Think it cost £180 from memory. Also wrapped the chrome window surrounds and bonnet chrome strip, same colour as wheels (dark gun metal). Didn’t cost much either, think just over £140 (they do have to use a big piece of wrap, to ensure one continuous strip along the top,or the door frame).

So I'm one step ahead of you by having no badges on the back (as well as no stripes) but now because I like the fit of these as you have demonstrated, I am ordering these while I watch! Ultimately I would like the MINI ones but am not confident to fit them myself (if you undo the locating bolt of the handle too far it drops into the door which means removing the door card !) so until i can get back to Bracknell the covers will do nicely. As will the black badge cover for the front. A good review and the product sells itself I think 👍 Shame that review so good that there are no gloss black handles currently in stock !! But coming by Friday ...

Hi Mr Ped,there is a Clubman specail works on autotrader with Black Door Handles but Chrome Barn doors,great idea stops door handles getting scratched by rings and things,I would get that specail plastic to protect the front of the car as well ,help resale in the future, car looks great.

Looks great, the de chroming really suits this car!!.

Looking fantastic ped. My next mods going to be brake calliper paint and a full audio upgrade. Likely Audison from lohen. Look forward to your next mod. 🙌🏻

Great minds think alike. When we got our mini, it has the blacked out light surrounds and door handles, but that was it. So I did same as you - I dechromed the belt line, added the black badge covers and I also then went and replaced the silver 'Cooper S' with black letter versions (if you are keeping the Clubman lettering you need to change it to black). You should maybe checkout the guys at killallchrome.

They appear to be a good product; time will tell. I do quite like the look and i certainly like the ease of fitting.

Hi pp I used Smps2012 for my clubvan for door handle covers badge covers and belt line kit! Been on 18 months and looks like the day i put them on! A bit of fishing line will sort out the clubman badge, worked for me!👍

Good Evening Pete , still some distance from home but have to catch your daily download. Totally love the look of the black handles and badge surrounds. Truly looks a quality product . Funny that when I got the Tiguan I added Chrome mirror caps and fog light surrounds to ease the ugliness. When you remove rear letters do you have some fishing line or trim tools to get them off. Remember park the back so it gets full sun to warm the adhesive , ease removal. Plus foam sticky residue remains , well nail varnish remover , rubbing alcohol , goo gone or WD40 all help get it off , whatever you have to hand I'm thinking. When I get my TOIL , I am tempted to film over black door spears with black carbon fibre . Subtle but I will know. Very little Seat/Cupra styling out there compared to Tig. Ok keep up the good work. P.S as a devote follower I don't expect a reply all the time. I think us lot aren't fickle. P

Hi Pete, just a little idea, no need to go to all the expense of de-chroming the rear Clubman badge, simply get a hairdryer place on each appropriate letter and prize off with a plastic-type lever instrument.
