The only solution I came up with was buying brake dust colored rims, LOL.

 

All the cars look good guys and gals... has anyone else passed the breakin period yet?? I am at 1600 and counting already (round trip from Chicago to Louisville is most of that)

 

1340 and counting here. I'm doing a TON of driving for work this month.

Next week I get to take multiple trips over the Blue Ridge mountains, YES!

 

860 miles here. The weather's here been rotten recently (especially on weekends).

 

^^ Same here, and I really need to get a good coat of wax on it before it gets too nasty. Thats hard to do when its 32 degrees outside :(

 

too late for the wax for me...

4" of snow last night... all season tires made it no problem to get home last night and got to work this morning...

 

Had my baby for 4 weeks now and have over 3100 on her. Break in is history. Car runs great. I really enjoy the motoring time.

 

Pics pics pics pics pics!

Those are some nice specs, I want to see the interior too :P

 

wow... you only drove TWICE as many miles as I did in the first month...

And I thought I was bad...

 

yeah seriously...ive had mine 4 weeks and have 1400

 

At 900 miles, 300 more to go! I've been thinking places to go to burn the rest.

I made myself not use the Sport button until I reached 600 miles. Omg, it was such a difference! I love the two personalities of the MINI! The throttle was so responsive, I had to readjust myself to drive it properly but it was sooooo fun!!

 

The sport button is an amazing feat of science I will usually drive the freeway in sport, switch over to m/s and put her into 6th when cruising. I gain the benefit of great mileage with the tight steering of sport mode.
5 weeks now. 3600 miles. Its that 160 r/t commute to work. But hey, it pays for the mini!
I need to take more picts with the new tint on her. Waiting till the rain subsides here in so cal so I can wash, hydro, and photograph!

 

I did my first wash a couple days too, but I really need to get proper mitts and tools. I already made some swirls on the car.

Cleaning the wheels ain't an easy job! I think I'll need to grab a stool, gets really tired quickly working on the wheels.

 

So Rally got me curious, and I started taking a look at our headlight assembly closely tonight, and it looks like the lens is held on by just a few clips. Thats going to make joey-modding a breeze

 

I was womdering if that was a sealed unit that should not be taken apart, or if it doesnt matter? Im worried about water getting in after putting it back together....if you take yours apart to do the joey-mod could you tell me how it goes?

Thank you

 

Bump.

Any new mods peoples? Got any coming for Christmas?

I haven't gotten around to playing with the headlight assembly yet because I'll be on the road from January through April so I don't want to chance it.

 

Does tint count? just got that in today...also i my emblems got wrapped by lyle (still in mail) but they or on his announcement...i have the first black and pepper white wrap
