I like it !

 

But everybody loves pandas.

 

i second this all the way!

 

Some rice and soy sauce...

 

They are only so well-loved because they tell everyone what they want to hear....

My Jeep looks like a Panda... A PW MINI with blacked out grille and headlight rings... Not as much.
I do have to say that MINIs do need some chrome, and now his car has just enough flash to make it look classy.

 

installed my 3rd set of wheels in a month, by far my favorite!

JB+ Burger Tuning module....fun begins around 100miles from what I understand....cant wait....

 

Very nice! I'd like a set to run in the winter. Where'd you get them?

 

had H&R springs and a ALTA rear sway installed

 

Oem roof rack system, rockymount euro rack, carbon fiber headlight and tail light wrap, Burger Tuning, and viper stripes so far within one month ownership.

 

bought a JCW exhaust for my Cooper S and I should be getting my JCW strut tower brace today or tomorrow. I'll install everything next week and throw some pics up ASAP!

 

I LOVE pandas.


I just can't eat a whole one by myself.

Got my stripes after 3 1/2 months of being on backorder. So I now finally have my entire Bond Street.

 

"Pander Express"? Is that a place where you can get a hooker really fast?


Speaking of pandas and hookers...

 

Put on a stubby antenna, black grill, Craven Speed dipstick and put in the glove box organizer (that thing rocks).

 

Got my R56 Front Brakes, Cleaner and Painted them.

Tomorrow the Rotors and Pads show up and if I get the car back from the Dealer tomorrow then I can install the Brake upgrade this weekend.

R53 to R56 (aka poor mans JCW Brake Kit).

When its done it will be:

• R56 Front Calipers
• Drilled and Slotted Rotors
• Ceramic Pads
• Stainless Steel R56 Brake Lines
• DOT4 Synthetic Fluid
• New BMW/Mini Wear Sensor

 

Ordered by my better halve this evening, not sure on wait time for delivery, but well worth it. Special thanks to my Wifey for the early B-Day Order. (Love you Ruby). She also threw in the CAN Tool.

 

Installed the fJCW exhaust from member jarettms. Like another member said, the fJCW exhaust sounds better than stock when you put your foot down but then is quiet when you are just cruising. I love it!!


And, if anyone is interested, I made a before and after video of the stock vs JCW exhaust. Quite a difference!

 

Nothing so exciting as what you folks are up to. Coop got a spa day at the dealership -- oil change, inspection, and a much-needed wash. He's a happy little car now, although new control arms and bushings and an alignment are now in our future.

ETA: But OOOOH, I test-drove a gorgeous black/black Countryman (unfortunately, it was an auto -- the only manual was parked in the showroom). I'm trying to persuade the mister to go for one once Coop's ready to be passed down to a niece or nephew.

 

Pulled the back seats and toolkit, emptied the glovebox and interior... for tomorrow, we autocross.

Casual autocrossers have the cleanest interiors! Outside, however, there's brake dust, the shadows of magnetic numbers, and occasional chalk on the sidewalls...

 

pics please!! inside and out!

 

Just swapped in LED's for the dome, maps, under doors and Plate lamps in the GP2 now its brite and niiice!

 

Looking for chrome brake intakes like on SkyRideTravis's MINI. Can't seem to locate those or chrome handle backsplash for Clubman barn door handles
