Timchengabe, your first photo of your car threw me off at first ... was wondering how you got your tail lights to look like coke bottles

Msteadman, thanks! Aesthetic Creations makes great stripes, I had fun putting them on. I still need a set of stripes to finish the bumpers. Then need to take it to a local shop around here and have them tint the windows. I have a feeling you're never really done mod'ing these cars, there's always something else to do.

Dark silver? Really nice, the roof graphics looks great.

hey! your MINI looks familiar, other than the different stripes...

Here is our MINI with the rest of the family after a Sunday bath... the weather finally started to cooperate after a few days below freezing.

Nice family line up! My Mini's nearest relative is my BMW 1100s!

I've usually always had a dark blue car (last 3 cars I've owned have all been blue and my Motorcycle is blue! LOL) so I was taking a big step outside my comfort zone by going red. Chili Red is a great color!

Nice AB/AB and JCW aero kit! That's a sweet looking MINI. Any other JCW bits on board?

I also have the JCW Suspension. I am leaning towards going after market for more power. Eventually I want to get some SSR Type F wheels someday too.

I have SSR's and they are great wheels and have made a big difference in my car's performance. I like the look and quality of the OEM's but found the webspokes just too heavy. Let the JCW suspension settle in...you'll love it. I switched to lowering springs and may go back to JCW springs.
