R56 - Midnight Black

Hey Everyone,

Just got my Midnight Black R56 and am absolutely loving it!

Got some modifications in mind - up for suggestions as well.

Let me know what you think!

Very nice.

As far as mods, i would suggest looking into the black-out look. There's a lot you can do with your MINI.

Congrats!

yeah, i thought about that - i don't want to go completely blacked out, but i'm thinking the front grille and the surroundings of the headlights.

Other than that, I'm thinking:

DDM Works Race Intake with Ram Air Scoop
H&R Springs
NM Engineering Exhaust with Catless Downpipe
JCW Aero Kit with Challenge front lip (not sure if that is possible or not)
TSW Donington Wheels - Gunmetal - (not sure whether 17s or 18s)

Very nice. If I were to ever replace mine, I think I'd go with the black. Except I'd get a convertible.

Enjoy!

That's where most blackouts start, but they never seem to end there. I did everything except the scuttles and the emblems and I love the way it looks.

haha, yeah.

just checked your's out and it does look really good with all the back!

have you guys seen these replacement fog lights yet? i'm not quite sure what I think yet. they would look better on this particular mini if they had the hid headlamps so i'm trying to picture them on mine.
