It's a little more challenging than I thought to get a decent picture of Dark Silver, it's like a black hole. Took a trip to Phoenix, happened to be on the Apache Trail.

Cool photos, but I am glad that's your MINI and not mine. I took delivery of my MCS in early March and as it worked out winter was done for us by then, so I still have driven it in snow. I had planned to get winter wheels and tires to replace my all season tires, but I bought my Nissan Titan 4x4 instead. So, even though I really hate winter, I am looking forward to playing in light snow in my MINI and in heavy snow with my Titan 4x4.

Be careful putting it in 4wd if it's just snow on pavement. The diffs/axles in those things are made out of tissue paper, just putting bigger wheels and tires on them is enough to break the front end. When I worked for Nissan we'd get swamped with front end replacements every time it snowed.

You know what, I like blackouts, but I kinda like the stock headlights and the chrome belt line on this configuration. Looks great!

I have the black out beltline kit but tried a small section and I actually love the offset of the aluminum. We will see. Thanks
