Thanks so much. I've gotten a bunch of compliments already. Now for that first wave from a fellow mini driver....
And thanks for the feedback on the scoop. The body color may grow on me more. What's estimated cost on aero kit? If I have to a$k then I $houldn't even think about it probably....

finally had some mods installed after having my jcw for 2 years...
17x8 ccw classics, ast coilovers, swift springs, vorshlag camber plates, powerflex control arm bushings, h&r rear swaybar, nm engineering front/rear sway bar links and control arms. still need to re-adjust the height and dampening of the coilovers.
great thanks to danny at minicorsa for doing the install.

I actually have put the 3M tape on it since the pictures were taken. It reall looks like crap. Anybody have a better idea.
I did all the other black with the black dip in spray can and so far (6Months) it still looks good.

5/16 Tape is what you want
All you need is black vinyl pinstripe tape in 5/16, a good exacto knife, and some patience. Matte black looks better than glossy. I did it myself but it took the better part of an afternoon, 'cause I ripped off a section and started it over if it did not look right. If you can't find a roll, you can always go to a sign shop and have them cut the pieces to size. You need to get the tape tucked under the rubber moulding for it to look right.

MINI cone popper
Although you can't see the car from this view, I ran over a 7 cone wall while autocrossing on Sunday. The camera was on the rear bumper and the cones pop out over the rest of the course.
