Hey there NAM!

I've browsed the forums a number of times over the past few months to check up on some things I've experienced with my new mini. I got my '06 MCS as a graduation present to myself back in march and it has treated me well ever since. It has a DDM CAI and a WMW 15% Pulley installed.

I was considering getting some black door handle pulls and a black gas cap to continue the black-out. There are some all black headlights on amazon that I have considered as well or thought of trying to find some blacked tail lights. Any input?

I did de-badge the cooper-s emblem because one of the letters ended up falling off. I've noticed that most coopers are badged on the right side, seems like someone moved it to the left for some reason at some point.

 

Welcome to NAM and congrats on your graduation, and present! I also have an R53 and it never stops making me smile. Please check our site for articles and videos on upgrades, service, maintenance and performance!

Any questions, please ask!

Welcome. Yea it might have been repainted or juts debadged then a new one was put on and they put it there. Most I have seen had some form of paint work on the rear and the body shop decides to put it anywhere except where it was from the factory. lol

 

Looks great. I like it blacked out, but if your not sure you can plasti dip it just to see what it looks like. Then if you don't like it you can just peel it off. We carry the Black headlights, and I've installed several sets now and they look like how the lights should have came.
