hahah thanks albie

crappy cell pic from photoshoot over the weekend

 

 

I thought someone in this Thread had put some Googly Eyes on their "Cooper", where the OO's become Eyes?? I had bought some Googly Eyes from Michael's but both packages I bought the Eyes were to big, so I was wondering if someone had done it and what size Eyes did they use??

Put the link of the image between [img] and [/img]

You usually can't use pictures off of facebook unless it's linked directly to the photo.

 

Took a few pictures recently. The biggest change is the roof racks... not sure if I've posted the Cooper S front bumper before.

Did some wrapping inside

 

Everything goes in cycles and the nature of modding is to not be satisfied with what you got with the car, but to get what you don't have, so the car becomes your own. On Harley's everyone wanted their bikes slathered in chrome, then when HD started putting all that chrome on the higher-end models, everyone wanted the blacked out/stealth look. Then HD came out with a series of matte black bikes...

Same thing with signal lenses on cars. Used to be only red in the US. The "Euro" look was amber turn signals. Then people wanted clear with colored bulbs. When the dealers supply those as stock, people will want all red again.

 

Amplified Subwoofer. A lil bit of bass!

 

Mods = 3x Forest Fresh Magic Tree Airfresheners

 

A little late I know but I'm curious as to how much the Cooper S Bumper was, including Paint costs.
Thanks!!

 

I can't say for sure because I got it as a result of fender bender. Probably the cheapest way to go to the Cooper S bumper would be to buy one off of someone who switched to the JCW kit and has all the grills and trim included. Then, you just get it resprayed OB.

 

...the only recent "mods" ..some 3M carbon fiber stuff...and my plates (front one trimmed smaller) , ..and I reverted back from the "s" spoiler back to the "justa" spoiler...I think it actually looks sleeeeker...lol.

Sharp looking Cooper!

 

..thanx. I really need to do the "joey mod" to the headlights now to complete the darkside theme..lol, that chrome in there sticks out like a sore thumb.

 

Yeah, that would definitely go with the black headlight rings better!

 

Once that’s done, that MINI’s outa sight! Great looking car - what are the specs on those wheels/tires and what are you lowered on?

 

...wheels are sparco assetto gara 17x7 et 37 (with 5mm spacers=32 offset), tires are 215/45, ..lowered a bit with NM springs

 

I’ve always wanted to go to 215’s. But my tire guy gets all nervous and always talks me out of it. I like how they poke out a little.

 

While doing the joey mod, you should remove the orange indicator lenses and put some bulbs in Silver to avoid the awful orangeness

 

I'm still waiting for some good weather and clean this thing up, but I'm pretty happy with my winter wheels now that they're black.

 

Looking good, Albie!

 

Thanks! I still can't believe that when I configured the car, black wheels were not even on my radar screen.

 

Well, they weren't available from the factory in black until March of 2009, if I remember correctly.

 

Would anyone be able to tell me part number for JCW grille. I have 2012 MC. thankyou.
