Duh! Sorry about that, Ehans!

I woulda left, personally.

Really? I thought it was around $800 at the dealer. Maybe I'm wrong. The covers I think are for rock protection, mainly though.

 

On my Clubbie the Xenons were very focused and didn't pick up deer eyes off to the side well. The driving lights throw a wide beam and really pick up the eyes. The new Xenon's seem to pick upmamlittle more of the road.

I painted my covers Red. this time of year unless I go in early or stay really late I am driving in sunlight. A couple of months and off come the covers for dark commutes on rural roads.

 

Looking good Ehans! Congrats on finally getting your CMS. Can't wait to see it with the stripes.

 

I understand, but for me there were several issues:

1. I needed sustenance and Trader Joes was in this parking lot, so my need to survive was priority
2. I love my car, but I don't let my life be ruled by it. I'll take care of her of course, but she won't dictate where I will and will not go. I own my posessions, not the other way around.
3. The spaces are pretty wide anyway. They are all the double-line with the additional 10-15 inches between cars

 

Thanks! Me either. It will likely be August at this point. That's ok. It will be like a present when it happens.

 

Bought my CMS4 about six weeks ago (my 3rd Mini) and had it in the shop for a couple of weeks making some mods that I wanted.

 

Here's a pic of the Joey mod plus xenon dual angel eye conversion close up.

 

@Pureworks, thats really nice can you do a write up for that, please

 

All the credit for the headlights goes to Umnitza. I knew what I wanted (designed it) and they made it happen. I then had the Joey mod done by another place Performance Image....where all of my other mods took place. Both shops are in Concord, Ca.

 

@pureworks, what kind of wheels are those? Breyton gts?

 

TSW 20"...came with the.car..were gunmetal grey...but dinged up so I had them fixed and decided to go satin black...

 

Here's my early birthday present to myself. It was a trade in at Lexus of Stevens Creek and is only about 10 months old. The previous owners bought it from Mini up the street, drove it for 6 months then traded it in for a Lexus, where it sat on the lot for a month and a half.

Happy B day, Xmas and New Years!!! Sizzling deal! ,

 

Thanks PureWorks. Were your headlight trim rings already matte black or did you give them the plasticoat treatment? I think that's going to be my next little project.

 

congrats and welcome to pure white yetilicious, and i have to agree with pure works there.. you got a very good deal !

 

just a quick snap of my "Eleanore" doing her bit to keep the light white camp on top

 

love the striping all the way down thru the front bumper. what's the width and spacing on that set ? did ya follow down the boot as well ?

.. more pics damnit !

 

Great CM pictures everyone...

I'm in the process of coming back to MINI with a CM
I need a little more space than my past Cooper S Convertible so the CM is the perfect fit.

I'm in love with this color option and personally I think the CM looks best in white for sure..!

My only concern is if I can do the red roof without going the JCW route although I will be ordering with the JCW appearance package.

Paint or vinyl?
Any ideas?

thanks,
Charles

 

Definitely vinyl...cheaper and reversible....congrats on the new ride!

 

Hi PureWorks

The only problem is to find the Chili Red vinyl...?

Is there a place I can buy the Chili Red vinyl for the top and all the stripes as in the pictures?

thanks for the help
regards,
Charles

 

I will ask my Vinyl guys at Performance Image and report back....I've seen some red roofs done but will ensure the match to JCW red....

 

Sweet, thanks a bunch... [The color is Chili Red]

cheers,
Charles

 

Yes the red is chili red!

 

Hi

So do they have it available?

let me know
thanks,
Charles

 

wasn't happy that my rear stripe was cut, took my Eleanore into dealer's today and they relaid the rear stripes with her stamp over the top.
they even took off the mini boot lock and laid 'em sexy like
