I love the "simplicity" of your car. That is my first preference but my wife wants different direction.

Any options you ordered??

Congrats

My only complaint is that the Web Spokes I ordered didn't come with the car. I don't mind the look of the Crown Spokes, but I hate having the lug nuts covered up. Rather have S-lites. It sounds like the dealer got a set for me this week, but I need to wait to my next availible weekend to make the 150mi drive to have 'em installed.
When you drop 1.5", how much does the camber change in the front and rear?

Mostly you can't see them: Sports suspension, LSD, heated seats. Also the HID lamps and multi-function steering wheel. That's it!

We made our own badge up from www.chromeemblems.com

Also have TURBO on the back...just for fun! But after getting on the scales last night, I wonder if TUBBO wouldn't have been more fitting for the driver

Wow! Beautiful! That's (almost) my exact spec ... I did the Pacific Blue colorline inside. Looks awesome! Thanks for posting.

My R50 loaner went back today, and I got back my Mini, now finally with the stripes I've planned since ordering:


front and back, maybe you can see a hint of the back here

pardon my lousy camera phone

I'll take decent pictures some day.

Yes, with the Dark Silver paint the wheels look awesome black. Mine are the stock 16" bridge spokes powder coated glossy black. I have a friend in the tire business and one in the powder coating business. I took the wheels off and had the tires, wheel weights and valve stems removed. Since the stock wheels are already powder coated, there is no need to have them sand blasted. I cleaned them up and dropped them off with Jason at A-1 Paint and Body in Granbury Texas (shameless plug for my bud). I picked up the wheels that afternoon, had the tires remounted and balanced ( I used the adhesive wheel weights behind the spokes because the ones they hammer on to the outer lip can nick the powder coating) had them back on the car that afternoon. Jason says if the wheels are stripped and cleaned (less prep work for him) when brought in, he can coat them for about $25 per rim. They look great and should stay that way as long as I keep it off the curbs. I think the black rims put a little hair on the car's chest, lol. Thanks for the comments

Not sure about tint level. It was the only freebie I got at the dealership. I told them to go as dark as possible without getting me a ticket.

I'm assuming you're car is lightning blue? Some of these pics its hard to tell between laser and lightning blue. Do you like the white strips in the back? I'm about ready to place an order and can't decide if I want to do the strips on the back too.
