Thanks!! I was really tempted to get the Ultralegerras but a few things influenced my choice. A friend of mine (also a NAM member) has them on his R56 which BTW, look better on the R56 than the Konigs would IMO, nobody else around here has the Konigs and finally, I just like the straighter spoke design on the Feathers. Remember, this is only my opinion and I'm not looking to start anything with owners who have the Ultralegerras, I really do love those wheels!! Thanks again for the compliment.

 

about making it black? not really might go in duvinclunk's direction of blacking out other pieces too. the chrome is starting to get to me!

 

Then ( years 1-6)



Now:

 

^^^^ very nice...too bad you dont have a black roof though

 

I like 'em with white roofs. Stay cooler in summertime

 

Thanks, it was time for a change. I actually looked into painting the roof either black or EB and the quote was horrendous. Like $1,500, saying to do it right and prevent peeling they needed to remove sunroof, trim etc etc. Forget it, I can (and did) buy a lot of bolt-on speedy stuff for those $$.

I just got some black wrapped headlight rims (thanks Lyle) and I am looking around for some black rims with machined lip or rim. I think that could finish it nicely.

 

an update...with my other BIG project

 

..by doing a pic timeline from new to present.....

New

After MOTD 4

After 1st MTTS

Got new wing and wheels

At MOTD 5 got new grille, side art and new bonnet stripes

Wife got new MCSc, so stripped off roof and side vinyl


Blacked out side markers, handles, light rings, scoop, gas cap, and changed wheels


Blacked out roof, mirror caps, and behind grill. This is the current look.

 

2002 coopers with 68K. LOVE IT!!!

 

I have the same wheels!!! congrats :D

 

Me Too!

 

Awesome!

 

I'm not 100% sure yet but, I might be leaving the "Electric Blue Crew". I have found what I believe is a good deal on a Pepper White (body, mirrors & roof) 2006 MCS JCW. Black interior, anthracite headliner and no sunroof. It's only got 30K miles on it and is in great shape. Price; $21K. P/W isn't my favorite color (guess what is....duh) but I'll get over it, I hope. It's got the tuning kit, exhaust and brakes....the only thing 'missing' is the JCW suspension. Whadda y'all think?

 

you could always paint it eb! hehe : )

 

I picked up this on Thursday =) I love it!

 

Those are nice wheels! I think I want some 17" BBS's

 

Thanks I liked them too. Do you know what they are called? I've been looking around but cant find anything. The receipt for them I found in the car when i bought it was $2500...

 

They look like R90s to me. $2500 sounds like what a MINI dealer may charge with tires.

 

dang those are some nice wheels forsure! jcw? im jealous! : )

 

Well after a couple weeks of owning her I finally got around to washing, clay baring, and waxing. By the time I was done it was dark so my plans of detailing and then taking pics was a little shot. I just HAD to get SOME of her right after she was cleaned because i knew with the night time dew comes dust when it dries. I went to the nearest parking garage because I needed light, but I couldn't find my tri-pod so the pics didn't come out that great (dang glare). I had to work today so I couldn't go to where I wanted to get pics in the daylight. More pics to come in the next week or so hopefully. This is her as she sits now, awaiting a few things in the mail =)

 

looking good

 

Just got about 4 months ago and have been in love ever since...
