What did you do to your mini today?
That's surprising. Usually classic Mini owners do not like being associated with the new MINIs. Most, not all of course, think they are "too good" for the new car owners. (Not hating on classic Mini owners, just my observation).
I like! How did you do that? Are those European parts?
I changed my 2005 r53's oil, rotated the tires, gave her a good hand wash, and then drove from Tampa, FL to Atlanta, GA (yesterday).
I also pulled up next to a Ferrari (not clue what kind) at a stop light and revved my engine at him...he laughed

Installed DoS Seafoam fogger and dry air cleaner element replacement for stock JCW airbox. Washed and detailed, trying Back to Black on the black bits. Anxious to try the fogger but I think it a good idea to wait until I'm closer to oil change.
Earlier, installed rear aero bumper, front and center pans, rear diffuser, Forge recircu valve.

The Blacklines are the American ones, not the European. The turn signal is the center light, not the ring around it as in Europe. I thought about getting the Euro ones but wondered about wiring and programming.
I noticed on NAM's front page that Way Motors now has the full kit with the lighting assemblies and not just the black trim rings. (https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ck-at-wmw.html) He is selling the complete kit or just the tail lights. And either are cheaper than importing the Euro parts.

Took out the double din h/u from my 03 to prepare for the double din install in my new 06 JCW. Swap'd out coil pack and JCW CAI, for the ALTA CAI and msd from my donner 03S (mainly for sound), along with the black mirror caps. Blacked out fuel door, belt line, and scuttles. Removed antenna. Debadged "Cooper S" for "Police Interceptor" badge. Clay bar'd+waxed. *Fewsh.
PNW those look great.
They are the Black Line lights that just became available.
There is a kit for the Cooper S and JCW 8/2010+ without JCW Aero rear bumper like the BRG Cooper S above.

There is also a kit for the Cooper , Cooper S , and JCW 8/2010+ with JCW Aero rear bumper. It does not come with the lower JCW bumper lenses, looks like they did not make them at this time in black line.

For above kits they come with the black taillight trims already so to complete the look in the front you have to get the Blackline headlight trims separate.

Also "Black line" kits are now out for the R60 MINI Countryman. They just have the taillights and Gray trims in one kit. Then you get the other headlight kit. The side markers ( below diagram #3 ) to match are not out at this time, possible in the future.

Sorry nothing for the clubman, maybe someday but not holding my breath. We ordered these 4 months ago. And we mistakenly ordered all of them in the US so right now we are the only ones with them.

Got a couple new tires today.
Couldn't get new Continental Extreme Contact DW in 205/50-16 as they're now made of unobtanium.
So, I guess when the other two wear out, I'll probably go with the BFG G-Sport Comp 2 (the type I put on today) if they work well for me in the meantime.
