Got the rocker panel stripes on yesterday. I know these are Gen2 stripes, but I figured WTH. Now to get the windows tinted. Going to go with something like 40/20 or 35/15 -- can't decide. Probably not much difference between those two choices......

New wheels = new picture.
Kept the stock sizes but ditched the run flats and went with a new look.
Figured I should enjoy my new wheels during the nice weather instead of the winter.

Looks good! What's the percentage of your tint?

35%. That's the legal limit for all-around tint in Illinois.

Thank you. Between the 17" wheels and the Continental DW's they really transform the look and drive of the car dramatically.😉👍

I was very confused when I saw your car. I have the same wheels on my winter setup.

I did make some changes to the car in between the pics when taken, so you may see some inconsistencies...(CF parts, Aero wing, changed badging in back, JCW scuttles)









Those wheels are simply amazing

have to say I am not a fan of stripes, however having owned a Lazer Blue R56 and despite now going to the dark side with my Thunder grey F56,


that does look mint mate, loving the stripes on that


only tip I will give you, get that grille surround changed for a black one, but obviously that's my taste


happy driving

Thanks! I'm usually not a fan of stripes either, but the solid roof and stripes running down it work rather well. It's actually one of the main things that attracted me to this Mini in particular.

I've been working on blacking out the chrome, having done the trim for the headlights, taillights, the gas cover, door handles, and swapping out the scuttles. So, the grill surround and strip are coming soon.
