Thanks can you do that for me on NEMINI, too?
I really do like it and now I'll start saving for some of those great wheels...maybe not the spoked ones that I lust after https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...&postcount=747, but perhaps something like Rally's.
Thanks Alphawave - and by the way, now that I see the roof rails I do think that they'd have looked just great on a silver roof, too.
And thank you too HTClubman, Coopdy and casey morgan!!

I hear they are the ricers of the MINI world.
Seriously, it's just a different vibe to NAM. Lots of folks are on both boards. Some prefer one or the other. Check it out some more and see what you think. Watch out for that dude Konky though. He's a wierdo.

Ok, I'm going to show my lamess - I don't really care...but what is a ricer? I am new to the car world, picked up my Clubman obsession, I mean hobby late last spring...so I need to be schooled a bit.

First, very Fireman and great shot, too. So Rally are you and the Fireman ricing in the same city?
Here's a description of what a "Ricer" is from the Urban Dictionary:
Pretty funny, me thinks.

Here's a description of what a "Ricer" is from the Urban Dictionary:
(Ricer: from the latin word Ricarius meaning to suck at everything you attempt)
A person who makes unecessary modifications to their most often import car (hence the term "rice") to make it (mostly make it look) faster. The most common modifications are (but not limited to):
- Huge exhaust that serves no purpose but to make the car louder
- Large spoiler on the back that looks like something Boeing made for the 747
- Lots of after-market company stickers they don't have parts from, but must be cool
- Expensive rims that usually cost more than the car itself
- Bodykit to make the car appear lower, usually accented with chicken wire
- Clear tail lights and corner signals
- A "performace intake"- a tube that feeds cold air to their engine usually located in areas of excessive heat (behind or on top of the engine)
- Most of these riced cars (a.k.a. rice rockets or rice burners) are imports; Honda Civics, Accords, Integras, CRXs, RSXs, Del Sols Mitsubishi Eclipses, Lancers, Subaru Imprezas, however there are some domestics such as Chevrolet Caviliers, Dodge Neons, Ford Focus; small, slow, economy cars designed specifically to go slow. Please note that some Supras, Skylines, WRX's and other higher performance imports are designed to go fast, and are therfore not always considered rice. It really depends on the severity of the case.
The "ricer" attempts to make their car "performance" by adding the modifications listed above. These ricers are not confined to any one ethnic group or color, however different ethnic groups are known for certain styles.
Honda Civics with big spoilers and 4" exhaust tips are considered to be ricers.
