Take a peek down yonder.

 

In direct sunlight with the sky reflection, it looks pretty blue just like in the picture. The other 90% of the time it looks like cosmos black (BMW metallic black color) to pure black in dim lighting. It's more black than blue but in the right conditions people do mistake it for dark blue.

 

My NAM pic post cherry has been popped.

 

eww...
but sweet car

 

just grab some quick pixs of our baby front of our little house this morning before xenon lamps will attract more bugs to get dirty quickly!

 

This is Felix

JCW wheels and an offset stripe.

Next project- JCW shifter and e-brake

Wishlist: M7 C-Wing!!! and front splitter

 

Does the roof graphics reduce the amount of light that would normally come through? I just got my mini in the same color and we noticed it was a little bright during a very sunny day. I really like the union jack graphics look and was hoping this would address the sunlight issue and improve the look of the car.

 

Drooooooooooooool,
cant wait to see more!

 

That looks incredible!!! I've always wanted those JCW wheels so bad, they look amazing on black. Too bad they are $3k and weigh a ton...

Hot car though!

 

to be honest its the same thing because its perforated.. u can go for the solid... but you cant see through though

 

Finally after all the mess I've gone through, I got my baby, AKA "MacGyver" today!

It felt kinda weird, people were staring at the freeway to much

 

Is that a blue color accent with a wood dash? Kinda hard to see from this pic but in the other pic it looked like blue armrests on the door.

Could you possibly post better pics of your dash when you get the chance? I am curious about that combination, if that is indeed what it is.

 

The arm rest is gray, and on the dash it should be "real" "English oak" seems plasticly to me, but they swear is "real wood" .

I'll post good pics on the weekend, can't wait to take this baby to a road trip

 

Here is Spike

 

Looking good!

 

Thanks. This is the best daily driver I have had.

 

id LOVE to see your 996. big porsche fan

 

You'd love the car I just detailed today... White 944 turbo. The paint looked gray before I got the compound out... It seriously shined up. Probably the most rewarding job I've done... I'll have to get my pics uploaded...

 

I got my rims with tires for 2700 CDN from the dealer!

it was a summer special they had on

otherwise i probably would not have gotten them. They are beautiful though.

The tires are expensive. The dealership puts a 200 dollar markup on them- to replace one is 550. Dunlops.

 

I will get some Photos of the Porsche's and post them.

 

Any mess seems ok to go through for that mini!! Ive never seen that color combo on PW!! Looks sick!! Have a name for him/her yet??

 

Ownd:

Here is a photo of Spikes brother with track wheels and tires. Street wheels are 18" sport designs

 

Here's mine, but no name yet - still working on it.
I'll post some better pictures later on.

 

Looks identical to mine...... i'm picking her up on Saturday!!

 

Had a wonderful time and met the coolest people. Was awesome to muster at Pier 4 and then motor through closed off streets to the tunnel and then toward Glouster for a pit stop, then u-turn at Rockport and return to Boston. There were more than 250 MINIs at the rise and shine rally, and no two looked exactly alike.

Got asked into the competition circle on Sunday. Didn't win, but was thrilled with the invite.
