the cell phone camera tends to over-saturate colors, but it is pretty vivid - as all CR owners know

Iggy,
Do you guys have any plans to paint the wheel arches or side skirts?

My plan is to back to the dealer for the stripes, or attempt them myself. But there is always the chance I'll live without them, but I left the image in my sig to pressure myself!

(now I've gone and changed my sig!)

2nd MINI dealer -- strike 2
3rd MINI dealer --- POP .... It's going, it's going, it's gone -- out of the park --- A HOMERUN!!! (add your own ROAR-of-the-crowd here)

Way to go on pressuring yourself...I like that!!
I'd say go for it...it's always stood out to me as a cool way to stripe it up.
Thanks for answering.

Took some better pictures today, but still with my phone!


You know, after a couple of hundred miles the suspension has settled down a bit.

Lava - nice car! I just copied these from my other thread to participate!

Some pics - think of them as "before" shots .


Picking it up... wish I had that cover!


The unveiling!


That slick interior I keep talking about!


Note the non-MFSW .




Won't look like that very long!


At home...




Infamous non-MFSW Sport Leather...


Bigger, but still not big enough!


Cool aero fillet - still gets plenty dirty on the boot though!


Controversial design element.


Non-functional hood scoop (for now).


Just asking for it!


I'll take what's behind that door!


Gotta love that mag chloride!

Stay tuned for disassembly .

Randy

I mean that the ride height has settled down - 1/2 - 1" or so. It was on stilts when I picked it up, 2 miles on the odometer. Some driving, some cycling of motion through the shocks and springs, and its sitting a bit lower now.

Ken, I'm actually partial to 5 spokes myself, but I like them dead simple and Mini tends to make them fancy. So the Bridge spokes were the closest thing as the spoke design was simple, just two more of them. I'm happy with them - just wish they were an inch wider!

Are those 16" wheels?
Also, anyone got pics of clothes seats?
