My name is Brahm Schaefer and I am new, obviously, to this forum of mini enthusiasts.

I have had a 2006 mini cooper s in British racing green and currently have a 2011 mini cooper s in Spice orange as well as a 2016 mini cooper countryman s all 4.

Love everything about these cars including their quirks.

I will have to stage a nice duo photo, waiting for stripe package to come in so I can change the decals on the r56.

I have seen these with the decals, MINI hada couple spice orange models with those wheels back in 2011 when they came out with the car tattoo graphics.

Congrats

Thanks! They look a bit like a band aid.. going to put broad black center stripes and silver rims with a slightly wider tire.

Yes, they came out with a bunch of these design and I like you found it with the black webspokes, they also had green seats on some of them. Talk about a rare option.

Green leather?!?! That is.. unusual... I am sure with the right exterior this could be catching.

Other than the rims, This will largely be the final product. Not sure who on here items this... But it's brilliant

I have seen it in person in a couple cars, one was driven by corporate MINI personal, another was a dealer demo. Both were spice orange with black webspokes and the tattoos. Another one was on an R58 Cooper S. Talk about rare.

That is awesome!! Congratulations!

I have been toying with the idea of a red bull mini for some time.. first thing I would do.. change the exterior via paint or wrap...
