Well I am more or less new in this awesome forum, I am Mario from Mexico city.

My Mini is a R53 (MCS 06) Hyper Blue with 24,000 milles (38,000 kms), I bought it since 3 months ago and I love it.

The only changes/mods that I did in it, are the Spyder headlights and tail lights, I installed the covers for the headlights (weathertech), also I installed the DICE Duo for the iPod and finally the Breyton´s Wheels 18" with Goodyear Asymetric tires.

Here are the pics:































Y aqui el ya famoso DICE Duo.



I am thinking in paint the headlights rings in black, what do u think ?

Enjoy it like me!!!

 

Lookin good Mario. Congrats!

 

Thx mejerry!!! =)

 

It's coming along nicely How do you like the headlights? do you have a link?

 

Mario, do the headlight rings body color...that would look amazing.

 

Hi BT, I like it a looooot really, the Spyder is the best brand for this.

I bought mine here:

Only I am thinking as you know to paint the rings, I am checking your post with all the information of your awesome Mini and I see that you only took off the complete headlights of the car and you painted like that ?? I thought that you took off the rings of the headlights.

Also I want to buy this cup holder:



Do u recommend it ??

And finally what about the K&N filter ? my car is all stock in mechanic, so do u recommend it to me or only if I modify something else in the car ? and the cost please!!, I see that is easy to install right ?? the bennefits in a stock Mini ?, thanx again!

 

I did remove the rings for painting, as well as the washer covers. It's easier to pull the headlights off to work on them. I have that cup holder, it works great, buy it. As far as engine mods go, do a 15% pulley first, then the air intake, best bang for the buck

 

So the K&N filter also u recommend it in a stock Mini ? the cost please? and if it is easy to install ?? a link of it will be awesome.

Do u did a mod in the HK sound ???, I am think in install a woofer to complement it.

I will buy the cup holder.

Thanx BT

Cheers!!!

 

Great MINI
I agree 15% pulley and One Ball Modification and that drop in K&N filter is all you need.
How are the 18s with the pot holes on streets?

 

Hi howsoonisnow1985

Thank you so much for your comments!!!

Could you help me and tell me more information about the 15% pulley and the other mods that you recommend me ??

Thanx again!!!

 

Nice updates...you've been busy

 

Thanx BT

 

15% reduction supercharger pulley is best bang for the buck. K&N drop in filter you can do yourself. One-Ball mod any exhaust shop can do it for like $30-$60 usd. You can also remove the resonator.
