All in good time I'm really wanting to order black headlight & taillight rings along with a set of sidemarkers from you. However, with the current mods (all were done in about the span of a week, ouch!) plus beginning of the semester expenses, I'm gonna have told hold off for just a bit.
Thanks!!! I was apprehensive about the size and finish initially (was going for black 18's), but I'm in love now.
Why thank you! It really was just extremely good luck with the Eibachs. I actually purchased them on a whim, I didn't plan to lower my MINI until after Spring. However I went over to the JSC Speed to pick up the ALTA catback and they had the springs in stock, so I figured why not...
The roads around here are far from the best as well. That along with the MINI's size is what swayed me away from 18's. IMO they (17") are the perfect size; to each his own.
Thanks! Our situations are actually similar. I went into the dealer planning to order SS/B, I'd never given PW the slightest glance. However they had this one on the lot with just about everything I wanted plus the audio package (I was only going to spec HiFi). MA presented me with a deal I couldn't refuse and although I still wasn't totally sold on the color even driving off the lot, it's been a love affair ever since. I must say, CR/B is quite stunning as well though. That and La/W sometimes tempt me.
I was really happy to find out the piping on the seats (and the cream color line) are almost an exact match to PW. So the interior is the exact inverse of the exterior - pleases my OCD side!
You can see it better here, just look at the door jam compared to the piping/color line (pardon the filthy mats, I'm waiting till Spring to order a set of CoCo Mats ):
I'm really debating a CF hood scoop, mirrors, boot handle, and door handles - I'll keep ya updated. Hey, I did order my boot stripes and Actual Size sticker from you guys though!

Nice looking ride. I wasn't ton between the 2 colors I just ended up not have a choice. CR/B has been my color scheme for the last 2 MiNis so I was going to change things up and order the PW/B but when I came into the dealer to order that had this one that I have now and I it had everything but the built in NAV that I wanted so how could I pass it up
BTW I really like the PW pipeing in the seats. Looks sharp.
OK let me know when your ready for CF

lol im sooo lucky to live in miami! it never snows here. i personally dont like the bonnet strips so i didnt have them put on might get some custom stripes at one point in time but not yet you should have seen my mini before i washed it! it looked like it wasnt even MY.

Very hot. I got rid of my C6Z06 for my Mini. Wish I could have had both. What's your opinion of the comparison between the two? You probably have much better roads over there than here. Frankly where I am the Mini puts a smile on my face more often than the Z06 did. But when the Z put a smile on my face it was much much bigger.

Congratulations!! Looks great! Now we can go motoring sometime. Are you planning on going on the upcoming Pizza/Movie night out sponsored by Brian Harris Mini? I'm trying to work it into our schedule but it'll be tough because we have to work on Saturday.
The Ultraleggeras look great too!

Thanks Krut for the reply, I'm glad that u like it,,, I'm from Qatar a small country next to Saudi...
Phantasms, I love both cars, but really I never thought that the mini would feel that fast, specially after adding the tuning kit.. But yes, the Z gives my a bigger smile even thought we don't have long highways since I live in a tiny country...
Dubaian, thnx man, I was in dubai just last week and actually im going back their on the 9th... I hope u enjoy ur spring break and the best weather ...
Here r some more pix with my 91 GMC Syclone
More pix to be posted soon when i add the stripes and fix the interior...

updated pics of my mini!!!
Here are some pictures of my mini (sorry for the dirt by the way!) after installing head light rings, tail light rings, side repeaters, custom front and rear emblems on my mini!
as for the side markers, on the driver side i have a Gloss Black with DS S, and the opposite on the passanger side! which do you think looks better? i may just stay with the contrasting on either side haha

Here is my '07 MCS
Next step is to change the chrome side marker lights and black out the chrome around the belt line. Then I will install lowering springs.
