My 1st mod ended up being the window tint first!!! Still waiting on the wheels and tires





Ended up with 20% tint on the windows. I think it turned out pretty good

 

wow that looks slick
Is that legal? and who did it? im planning on doing as much tint as legally possible and im trying to g=figure out if i should do right when i bick it up with the dealer or if i should go somewhere else

 

It is 5% into the not legal. Legal is 25% you can still see somebody through the sides. With the small car and the dark interior makes the tint seems darker than it is I went to a local guy that my buddy recommended and he did a great job!!! He only charged me $150. He used the metalized 3m tint that is suppose to be alittle better

 

anyone know how much the dealer charges for tint?

 

SO CLOSE TO MY SPRINGS AND WHEELS I CAN TASTE IT!!!!!!!!! OMG I CAN'T WAIT TO SHARE PICS!!! I'm excited to see what everything will think of my choices! EEEHHHHHHHH!!!! 3 MORE DAYS!!!!!!!!

 

Cant wait to see them

 

I GOT TO GET IT DONE A DAY EARLY.... BRING HER HOME TODAY WITH HER UPGRADES!!!!

 

Good for you! I won't have my new springs installed until next week! :D

You sound high as sh*t cant wait for the pics

 

HERE IT IS!!! Getting all pretty for her pics

 

What wheels are those? They look hot!

 

its like a carwash model.. sexy

 

Jessica Simpson and Paris have nothing on my MINI lol

 

didn't have time for the shoot I wanted... here is a quick pic for now!!

 

They are 18x8 Rota MC's custom painted gold ... and Thanks

 

The gold is a great match for the HOT CHOCOLATE, good pick! Havn't been a fan of brown (Unless it was the UPS guy droping off parts) since I was a kid, but your car deffinately pulls it off.

 

Thanks... yah I've never been a huge brown fan either... or green ha but when I saw this with the hot chocolate leather package it spoke to me... like mad men gone MINI! Its got a vintage look and I love that!!

 

When I got my 03 Cooper S last year with 67k on the odometer (think it was a steal at $9500 - Indi Blue fully loaded with exception of nav and sunroof) it already had these mods:

JCW front brakes
JCW exhaust
Dinan intake, fuel pump, and bored out throttle body, Stage 5 software

In the first couple of months, having taken the car on the track at High Plains Raceway (great track!), the bug bit and last spring/summer added:

KW Variant 3 coilovers
Vorschlag camber plates
H&R 19mm rear sway bar
H-sport rear camber links
M7 anti-mushrooming plates for front strut towers
Schroth Quick Fit harnesses, driver and front passenger (these are fantastic)

When the JCW red calipers started to turn black from heat, it was time to remove them and add:

Wilwood 12.2" BBK (use Poly B pads at the track when running down 911s and M3s; WRX STIs and 370zs stand no chance!) Run Stoptech Street Performance pads in the rear, great balance with the Wilwoods up front.
16" OZ Ultraleggera Wheels with Dunlop Direzza Star Specs (best track tire out there short of race rubber)

Spring project with be to install Sneed's Speed Shop front brake ducts (sitting in garage), requires removal of front fog lights.

What should I do next? Thoughts anyone?

 

Would love to help you with the next but I dont understand like anything you just wrote! lol I'm new to the car world... never really cared about anything other than it looking cute until I got my mini!!

 

M first mod

Now teach it to sit on those spokes already, springs are cheap.
