LOOKS SHARP! Wish that I would have gone with that combination, as I saw a Cooper in the dealers showroom with the same interior AFTER I had placed my order Oh well...maybe the next one!

Enjoy your car, and make sure you're stocked up on plenty of dark cotton towels to dry that Astro Black finish to a shine. I've got mine ready and waiting!

The first drink - before ownership

Replaced amber bulbs

JCW Surround

New stripes, clear bra and painted scoop



Got the new wheels on!

New Aero Spoiler

New roof decals

New MINI Challenge decals


All of of this done in the first month of ownership. I just love flat black decals!

You should rename it "twisted'. It looks fantastic!

What kind of wheels are those?

Thanks, I really take pride in making it right and look perfect. I just hope I can keep it up!

BTW, this is my 2nd MINI and my last one looked just like this.

I love that yellow badge. at first it looked like a Ferrari badge. Where did you get that bulldong badge, it looks really good on red. don't know if it would look good on dark silver.

Thanks!

I had a few made up at a local sign shop. I'm sorry, I can't give you the file or any decals. The work is copy protected from the designer.

WOW!! That is one sweet roof! Great job Twister!

Will you hate me if I do something similar with mine? You really captured what I was thinking of doing. Love the matte black.

No problem, just curious. I thought that maybe it was something that the Dealer sold.

So who came up with the idea? Very creative.

Well I might, but if I know you like most other owners, it won't be exact and will be unique to your MINI. Go for it! I want to see pictures.

A member of our club is a designer and he asked for it not to be sold.
