Interior/Exterior Customizing BRG MINI
#54
Aggie - I'm sure you're aware, but he's still running the MCS standard bumper. I think (could be wrong) the aero kit drops the front bumper a bit more than the stock MCS, and with a front lip/spoiler/carbon thingy, you'll be further lowered. If you're running any kind of springs or coils, you're gonna want to be hitting bumps sideways for clearance without scraping... On the flip side, it'd look HAWT!

I swear this plasti-dipping is going to far. I was okay with the tow hook, great application. The headlight rings were okay, but your roof is just too far

First post on the site, but I've been lurking for a few days. I'm planning on ordering a BRG/W JustaCooper at the end of the month (waiting for my bonus as a down payment).
I wanted to know if anybody had put any aftermarket seat covers in the BRG Mini? I can't find any of the factory seat options I like (that I'm willing to pay for). I'm ok with the Tuscan leather option, but not willing to shell out $2g for it. I've seen a lot of people on the site with the Wet Okole covers, but none of them seem to be in BRG.
Anybody with any pics or horror stories about Cover colors for a BRG Mini?

Well, I'm definitely not going to lower it. This is going to be my Year-round car and we get some decent snow from time to time (like today). Last Wednesday I got home from work and couldn't even get into my driveway. I'm spoiling myself with a Mini because it comes with traction control and decent ground clearance, gets over 35mpg, and still handles like a sports car.
But Tinted Windows, Stubby Antenna, replacement Side Scuttles, White Perforated Vinyl to "White-out" the sunroof, and These Shoes are all on the list. I know, the shoes border on silly, but I need some good driving shoes anyways.
I'll probably also do some suspension performance Mods eventually, but I'll want to spend some time getting a feeling for the car as-is before I start messing around with her.

I've always liked the Pumas, but I've never found a pair of 13s in a Puma store to be able to try them on. Most of the ones I've been to they don't have anything above an 11. I guess they expect people to have little feet.
And I'm definitely getting a Manual. My current car is an Automatic and that's one of my biggest problems with it. My last car was an 06 350z (manual, of course), but I sold it when I bought my house. I still miss that car, but it's not practical as a year-round daily-driver. Plus the way I drive I was averaging around 20mpg in it

In two words: Outlet Store. Lol... They stock crazy sizes, like 17's and stuff...

A couple more ideas
There are a few shots of things I've done to mine in my gallery. Might give you some ideas for a green/white/black setup on an '04 R50.
The first shot is my current setup:
White side repeaters with Stealth Bulbs (silver/clear when off/flash amber)
Black/unbeveled trim Euro (mini one) grill.
Sprayed flat black lower steel grille.
Disconnected parking lights (ambers still work).
Stealth front turn bulbs (silver/clear when off, flash amber).
Smoke taped arch reflectors.
OEM fog lights.
Sprayed BRG License Plate Holder.
The other 2 are with white 17" s-lites with 205-40-17's (for summer).
Needs suspension, I know... I'm looking into V-Maxx coilovers, but it's still winter here in MN so I'd have it raised to stock anyway...
Also planning on a light tint (20%) and possibly stripes.
Just a few ideas...
Have fun!

Good keep it alive... You guys were so right the BRG grew on me so much i love it now.. I just started modding my car.. My r50 looks good im tinting it in a week and i put a Sport hood on it because i dont like the just a cooper hood!!
Since the hood is fresh painted i can tput on my viper stripes til next weekend but those are coming up to!!! And also my next thing im gona do is anew body kit. I found a body kit imitation to orciari but cheaper in price my only problem is my tail pipe is to the right and not in the center
