I think you will be pleasently surprised. It looks really nice . I think the joey mod puts it all together though. I bought the MW paint from Minspeed thias weekend, just need to grow a pair and get it done.

 

Where did you get that smokin MY owners club decal?

 

All of the decals except (obviously) the Aesthetic Creations came from Cooper Flags. You can order most of their badges as decals instead.

 

Ok MOTD here I come!!! I just got the okay from my significant other and work that I can go!!! I am soooo excited, this is my first MOTD. Almost went last year but could not get the time off from work.

So, are we MW owners gonna meet up at some point so our MINIs can get acquainted with each other

Oh, and I decided to do the joey mod this weekend, so I'll post pics when the entire BO process has been completed.

 

Took some news pics post suspension upgrade

 

Sweet What exactly did you do? Springs or coilovers?

 

Check out my signature M7 Coilovers and spacers..

 

Well, the process is almost finished! I'm doing the beltline BO as soon as I get the kit from Outmotoring, sometime this week.






I was terrified about doing this but it is simple enough that I would recommend this to anyone. I used a heat gun (which I have never used one before) to loosen the seal. The hardest part was getting the plastic piece off from the projector ring. Otherwise was simple.

 

Having fun with two of the three,

 

Interesting effect of the lens on that rear wheels spokes...

 

That is just our cars showing off for the camera

 

Great picture!

 

Good Morning all, just took delivery two days ago! Haven't found an "official" MY owners club, so i'm assuming this is it?

Some pics:

 

You found us. Nice looking mini and a great choice of colors.

Nice car.

I just saw the same sort of stripes on a MY car here in San Diego. Here's a hello to whoever you are, look for an all-MY MCS that'll be waving to you next time.

 

Hey Folks.

Newbie here with a new 2009 MY/B Cooper (6M stick, of course). It's got a few bells and whistles (BT/iPod, Hi Fi, Sunroof, Piano Black Int, Black Bonnet Stripes, etc).

But mod fever has already hit. Just want to spice it up a little bit more over time. But for now, first priorities are floor mats (can't believe I forgot about those in the purchase...) and window tint.

After that, I need to find me some relatively inexpensive black wheels!

Cheers!

Sounds nice. Welcome aboard FP.

Piano black....nice. So far thats my only regret is NOT getting the piano black. I decided to be cheap and just get the basic interior. Kicking myself for that one.

 

Black headliner and interior is the way to go. I ordered the after market wood grain trim for the door rings and the small area that is exposed does not even show up when it is black where the gray does. Now I would have gotten the black dash and just used the after market wood trim for the dash as well. Then I could have gotten any type of wood I wanted.

Jim

 

Where did you get the aftermarket dash parts? link? Also were the door rings easy to change?

Thanks in advance.

 

These are stick on trim parts and they are of very good quality. I was impressed when I got them. Search on the site for BMW then Mini and you will see an additional kit that covers the center stack and other parts.

The picture they show of a Mini is poor quality and looks bad. On it you can see that the gray shows all over making the wood look fake. I discovered that when the background is "black" you do not notice it and the wook looks very nice. The parts are thick and domed rather then flat. I was pleased.

Not everyone is into wood trim saying it looks like their grandfather's car, but it reminds me of the MG TD and the Auston Healey 3000 which also had wood.

Do you have any pics? This looks pretty good, I would consider either the yellow or the black. probably go with the black...keep the interior dark.

 

Yeah - if I were configuring the car myself, I may not have chosen the piano black. But now that I see it on the car, I'm glad it came with it!!

 

Fellow Mellow Yellow owners: Does there exist a floor mat set (looking for front only) that are black carpet with yellow trim or some kind of yellow highlight in them?

Thanks in advance.

 

Not that I'm aware of, that would be pretty sweet though. If you really wanted to go nuts you could always find a custom auto upholstery shop and have them modify your current mats.

Just a thought...
