Thanks Tom!

Body color upper pillars are extra I got when doing the mods on reflectors delete covers. I still have my original black upper pillars, so I might switch it at some point.... If I get bored of the ones I have now


About the wheels:

I just found pictures of MY NEW WHEELS!
Was going back and forth about what new (18") wheels to get with NM RSe07 in black being on the top... After talking to NM directly 2 days ago, I got the info on upcoming new wheels.

Here is the photo from Japanese site that is selling these already:




So far, I have specs. as RSe12: 18x7.5, fits 4x114 and clears BBK JCW...

Now, just sit and wait...:

NICE! Ever since I saw that style wheel for the Countryman I've been hoping they'd do something similar for the R55/56/57. Those are gonna be HOT!

Tata,

Any more info on the new NM wheels? When will they be available in 4x100? Thanks.

You should have waited for these wheels...these are just like the Linea Corse Wheels. I'm thinking of these for my IS350.

Should've, would've...

These guys were taking to long starting the sale of this wheel... R105s were my favorite wheels since the day I saw them for the first time. Second, they are OEM. Third, they were dirt cheap ( I got the rims and set of brand new S Drives just for the sticker price of NMs, and where is the shipping, customs,...). So, these will do just fine for now.
I have plenty of NM stuff on the car already, Jerry will understand...

like the front lowers covered in black,
but,
it makes the rear pillars and lowers look even more naked.

get your rear pillars and lowers done to finish the look,

Our's came with the rear done, i want to do the lower fronts like you did.

Hey Jim!...


That lighth is a generic one sold in Canadian Tire ( our "go to" store)... It houses the light assembly that was attached to original arches. After putting Euro arches with no side lights, I wanted to do something with "hanging bulb" inside my car, so I came up with this. The back of the light is modified to mount the MINI's OEM wire harness, so it is easy to get to the bulb if needed. The bulb is an amber led.
Now, similar set up is at the back as well. Only, I got the light housing with red cover and uses clear bulb. Rear set up is further inside of the wheel well almost on the inside wall. It is visible if you look for it only... It shines a bit of red on the rim and rear brakes, nothing too "rice racer" but it's there... Subtle...
So, at the end if the respected police officer stop me and ask about my (law required) side lights? I will point to them, and say "I got them, ocifer"...
