What did you do for your ZHP/ BMW / MINI today? #2

[Imola.ZHP]

I really dislike 5 spoke wheels.

If he was talking about the wheels, I was not. I was talking about the brakes!

[stephenkirsh]

They don't because it's made from the ground up. Completely new process and completely different car. That's how they decided that.

So they made it ugly?

Haha people use brakes? Actually that's one of things about electric cars. It's suppose to really only use the accelerator pedal and that's it. No real braking since it uses the momentum to recharge the battery when you let your foot off the accelerator pedal. It's really like driving a golf kart in reality with more power and environmentally friendly. Test drives later today

So they made it ugly?

They could've made the design anyway they like it really. It kinda grew on me as I see it in person and see how things actually makes sense. Again the car isn't for everyone which is really what it's meant to be. Some people don't like it and seems like most EV people love it. Conventionally electric cars on the market is just taking a existing design and removing the engine and replacing it with an battery operated engine. The iBrand really is interesting and eco friendly down to the core. Design is really in the eyes of the viewer and I can say I love the interior. The exterior isn't a big selling point but who cares really? To me I'll consider this as my dd over my ZHP.

Just finished painting my grilles, they didn't really come out as glossy as I wanted but I still like them a lot more than chrome!

^ they look good. (you may want to try and close the gaps in your black bumper trim).

Yep. Pull those side pieces toward the front of the car. Most likely, they're a little tucked in the fenders.

Samsung Galaxy S5...

Thanks just fixed it, confused me for a second there I thought the trim was too short haha.

What kind of paint did you use? As per photo, they look like kinda flat. Could be the camera and lighting. What type do you think you should use to make them glossier? As is shiny black?

I used these and yes it came out much flatter than I wanted I was going for a glossy look. I probably should have used a different black paint but my hardware store didn't have a large selection and this is what they suggested.
