photos of big yellow

As you may or may not know, I just purchased a gently used 2003 Mini Cooper with 3300 miles last Friday. I really dig it! It came with Panther Black Profile Leather, Cold Weather Package, Premium Package, Chrome Bumper Inserts, 16" Alloy Wheels w/Performance Run-flat Tires, 6-way Adjustable Sport Seats, Harmon-Kardon Sound System.

So, I opted to purchase S-Lites to replace the stock 16-inch 5-stars (of which, by the way, the tires still look brand new), as I really, really like the way they look. I had 205/45/17 Toyo T1Rs installed and like them so far (only 15 miles!). I've had the car for less than 1 week and I am delighted with the overall driving experience. Here are some photos:

NIce ride! Great color, and you can't do better than Krusty's seal of approval!

Thanks for the kind words, folks! :smile:

Hmm, if you're lucky, maybe I'll give you a Krusty decal (they're discontinued) . . .

Nice Car!:smile: Sounds like you found a great deal. I've liked a yellow MC so much that one night I pointed and clicky'd and wham- now it's on a ship heading for my dirveway. It will be an '06 MC Panther Cloth, Premium, Convinience, F Fogs, Spoiler, and HK. Enjoy your "new" car, as a MC is more fun to drive than store away.

Lucky find.
Great looking car.
Perfect choice.
Be careful -LY is the fastest color (don't tell the CR -they're in denial)
