You obviously have impeccable taste.

 

I bought my JCW off the lot. No waiting... but I didn't like the stock wheels so I traded them out for Mini R99s with the John Cooper Works center cap. The wheel is approximately 17 Lbs (I recall) so they were a good choice for me... and the 7 spoke design allows for met to easily clean the brake calipers when I wash the car.

 

We just picked him up Monday!

 

Cool!

 

We bought ours off the lot also! Didn't think we could handle the wait!

 

Nice wheels!

 

First Mod,badge holder.

 

We finally got a chance last weekend to get some pics!

 

We just changed out the grill so I got an updated photo, hoping to change the scuttles next!

 

Spinned,

The R99's weigh 21.9 lbs... that was the reason I sold my challenge wheels and put the OZ's on that weigh 14.2 lbs a piece.




I wish one of you chili red guys would paint the headlight and trim rings in red and the wheels in gloss black. I'd love to see what it looks like. I think it would look absolutely fantastic. Chili red was my first choice of colors but since l bought mine off the lot also, I didn't have that choice.


I did mine in yellow. (everything's the same as this pic except with black trim on the belt moulding)

 

long overdue to post pics of my JCW, now with Aerokit...

 

Looking good! I wish we could have done the JCW aero kit but it doesn't give enough ground clearance. Too many rodents around to hit and we would be using it to push around snow.

 

Sexy cars guys! Sorry i dont have a JCW tho :( lol

 

thanks. Yeh, not much ground clearance at all, especially that the next mod is TSW springs. Looks like I'll be cleaning up every road I visit...

 

KIMINI03 what type of camera are you using?.. nice resolution and color...

 

Thanks! It is a Sony Cyber-Shot. Very easy point and click. It has several settings but for the most part I just leave it on the auto setting. It will also record videos. I know nothing about photography. My husband and I started shopping for camera a while back and decided this was the one for us. Simple, easy to use and all I have to do it hit the button.

 

My wife has seemed to forget one of the most important reasons for buying, it was cheap.

 

Long overdue, here's mine after a wash and a fog light repair. I lost to a retread, which left the passenger front air dam trim hanging on by a few tabs and broke 2 of the 3 mounting points of the fog light. I was able to McGuvyer a new mounting point.

She's also sporting new Konig Feathers 17" rims and non run flats. I call her... Cookie Cutter....

 

That looks great. I REALLY like red on a mini.... there's really no "bad" color but red was my first choice.

I love the black trim with the black wheels.... nice.

Here's an updated pictures of mine. In addition to the white OZ Alleggerita wheels, I've added a white gas cap and had the black scuttle carriers painted white.

 

Ken! BEAUTIFUL CAR! I never thought I would like the green but it fits in SO well with your area of the country (just 5.5 hours north of ME!)....very nice pics...thanks for sharing them!

Kimini03......another beauty....LOVE the shot by the wooden covered bridge!!!!

I am considering ANOTHER MINI addition to our family.....I love the yellow and it is up there in the running for my choice! The only thing I would probably add to mine (if I can convince the wife to be a 2 mini household allong with "Clubbie") are the sport stripes to the bonnet and boot area.


Race Tripper,

While I am not usually a fan of the red, your car has to be one of the most beautiful I have seen! I was NEVER a fan of the driving lights but they really do fit your ride! Thanks for the shots!

To all: BEAUTIFUL pictures...the more I browse around NAM the MORE I want to have a MINI to call my own...not sure if I would go the JCW version or the MCS only version. It will DEFINITELY not be a Clubman S.....we already have one of those !

 

Thanks. I've been very pleased with it. I originally started out ordering Red/Black and changed to Red/White. That ended up being a good decision for me.

 

Oh you NAILED IT! The red stripes on the roof really set it off!!!!!

 

Thanks Mike! Good luck making your choice!! We were also thinking about the MY/B. I built a couple on MINIUSA and had them as my desk top for awhile to help me decide which one to finally choose! Tough decision! Keep us posted on what you decide!
