Beautiful MINI. I've never seen such a maze of wires suspended by poles in my 65 years on this planet.

Here's my Mario; Paul Smith-ed. :)

Had always fancied the Paul Smith mini, especially since I saw it in the flesh @ Hilton Hotel (Singapore) a few weeks ago. Been thinking about changing Mario's look ever since with that inspiration..

And finally, I decided to christen Mario with the signature Paul Smith roof wrap.
This new look certainly freshened up his looks! May be considering a change of bonnet stripes as they don't seem to really match the roof now.. Hmmm... :-\

Anyway, here's some photos to share with you all MINI-sters! Enjoy!!

Waiting patiently to be attended to..




Commencing the removal of the tinted film..


All removed, finally.. :D


Being Paul Smith-ed now..




And the end result.. ;D



After giving Mario a bath when I got home shortly


Apologies for the bad quality photos as all these were taken @ night with not-so-good lighting.
Shall attempt to take some shots of Mario tomorrow when I bring him out!!

I've had this '09 JCW for about a month. I've had plenty of cool cars and this one ranks as one of the most fun as a daily driver for sure.

Here is my new to me 2007 dark silver Mini Cooper s.
I had bonnet stripes added yesterday and that will be the extent of my mods.

Thanks! This was one of my sixth or seventh favorite colors that Mini offers. This is the toughest part about ordering a Mini, all the color options.
