You are in the right, wrong thread. Nothing for the four door yet. Congrats on the new car, wife's new one is on the boat.

 

congrats on the new ride. that's about as far from a "cute" MINI as you can get!

 

need to do 20% minimum on the tint, Great pics, love to see some 4 door love!!!

 

Welcome! Congrats on the new ride.

 

thanks everyone.. day by day my "want list' keeps growing..

in time!

this is my DD and since my car is my office, I'm looking forward to spending some quality time with her

 

want to gauge your thoughts..

what do you think about getting the headlight and taillight trim rings in black?
i see Jet Black is the only option..do you think its okay to pair with Midnight Black?

I would typically do all black trim, but I think subtle hints of silver/chrome go well with the wheels....

what do you guys think ?

 

I have a '14 in Midnight Black with the grill, headlight trim, rear lights trim and chrome bar for rear, all in black plastidip. Left the ring around the front grill and trim around the body in chrome. "Black Bart" is looking good. Love the chrome accents.

 

I thought about doing it on mine, but mine is not black, but if I did it I would do all the chrome or none. I like the chrome but there is just too much for me to do all of it, that is why I probably wont.

 

Looks great, love the wheels!

 

Nice car! But what on earth is that building in the background? It looks like a giant beehive!

 

If you're gonna have a 4 Door MINI Black is THE color to go with! It doesn't really look as long as most F55's I've seen & I'm sure being Black helps....Im partial to Black on Black though I admit. Very nicely done! Great look!

 

Hi Joe Speed!

Lovely car. I've got a black one as well. Regretting it a bit now that the heat wave in SoCal is in full effect.

 

thanks for the replies everyone

re: building in the back is the Broad Museum in Downtown LA.
right adjacent to the Walt Disney Concert Hall.. this was better lit for nighttime pix on my iPhone haha

got the car tinted today 35% all around .. looks good..

now to get a black gas cover and head/tail light rings...

will order the NM Power Module as soon as break in is over..

thought about the sprint booster, but idk if I want the "pedal to the metal" feeling 100% of the time... I still want some decent MPG.. and i cant imagine how an accelerated throttle response (sprint booster or pedal box whatever they're called) will get me that..

 

Great looking car.
I just took delivery our our 4 door S last night. I'll post some pics soon.

 

thanks everyone..

NM power module and black gas cap ordered today..

waiting to see how the gloss black cap looks on the midnight body

we'll see... really looking forward to the NM module tho!!

 

I'll see you in the OC!

 

update-
installed black gas cap cover.. its a cheap piece of plastic that was very underwhelming..i guess it does the trick for $40..

NM power module installed... love it! car doesnt even have 1k on the clock so I still gotta take it relatively easy...

best thing today tho... i found 100 octane at the pump less than a mile from my house... and you know what that means......!!!!!!

 

Hi Joespeed, I wonder if you found the 100 octane at the 76 station off Bonita Canyon in Newport?

 

Car wash in Huntington has it for 9.xx/gallon... will put a few gals in when i run the tank down and get at least 2k miles..

debating to do the headlight/taillight trims next or an intake???

show vs go...

 

Here's a great application guide for cold air intakes, and some examples. Please let us know if you have any questions!

thanks MM

question, i know a stand alone intake wont generate any noticeable HP.. but what about an Intake with the NM power module? instead of 2-3hp? maybe 5-7? idk..what are your thoughts ?
