anyone have a SS with bronze accents?

 

I have not seen any bronze on SS Minis. Most people have white or black stripes, some with the dual stripes and other with the single wide stripes. Some have black stripes with white outline on the hood. I have not seen one , but the wide red rally stripes over the hood and top would look good.

 

i was thinking either bronze or gold rims, with matching scuttles. i guess its time to use MS Paint. haha.

 

I just got rid of my white rims and opted for black R113 rims (new pic below). However, I am really liking the orange rims with matching orange mirror covers look - but not doing any more changes anytime soon.

I know I am late to the party but hopefully not too late.

Picking up my 09 SS Clubman next week. Love the color, since I was buying used I had it down to Pepper White or the Sparkling Silver. Found one of each but the SS won out.

 

Congrats on the SS Mini. I have an 2011 like yours. 2011 was the last year of this color so you will not see many of them around. I have a different hood stripe and some other changes but they are basically the same.

Hope you enjoy the car and this site.

 

I JUST (on Wed 4/17/2013) bought a 2008 SS MINI Cooper S..

 

Welcome to the NAM and the Sparkling Silver crowd. Post some pictures, so we can see it. Check out the Gallery of each poster to see pictures of their cars.

 

I just bought a 2010 sparkling silver clubman s (black roof and pillars) with hot chocolate lounge leather interior: She's gorgeous!

 

Welcome to the SS owners club and please post some pics on your gallery so we can see what it looks like.

 

I am new to the club here. I bought a 2007 Mini Cooper SS/B last year. I am actually getting her some new shoes today!! Pretty stoked. Getting "Margaret Thatcher" (My Mini's name) some high gloss black rims custom painted. Before and After pics to come as soon as possible. Love the MINI COOPER SS support!

 

welcome to the SS club. Is yours a standard or a clubman. I noticed at the Mini dealer yesterday that they have a color similiar to the SS but a little darker.

Post some pics.

 

Thanks for the warm welcome. I haven't seen the "new" Mini Cooper SS. Excited to though. I have a standard Mini Cooper SS/Black.

I have found that here in Los Angeles, the SS is pretty rare. I think I have seen 6 in the year of owning this beauty. I have to tell you though, those Pepper Whites are EVERYWHERRRRRRREEE!!!!

Haha.

I will post some before and after pics later on today!!

 

Been digging through the NAM posts since picking up my 2010 SS Justa a month a go. Glad I finally found the SS club. Now to look through at all of your rides. B-)
Gotta figure out what wheels I am going to put on with some summer rubber so I can keep my 15" RFTs for winter.

 

Saw the Bond Street edition at the dealer. Thinking that the striped would look great on an SS car. Anybody got them?

 

Found this on ebay; 1:18 scale SS R56 MCS. UK seller. Currently at $82.46 USD. I don't think I can justify that much, but have to say I am tempted.

Welcome to the SS club. I noticed yours is a Justa. Not sure you have standard or auto. Mine is auto. I tired 17 inch wheels but I could really feel the extra weight slowing the car down. I settled for 16 inch Rota and have been happy with them. So I recommend 16 inch wheels.

See my gallery for pics of my 2011 Clubman SS. Good luck and welcome.

 

Thanks Soda66. Mine is a manual. Through my research so far, I am pretty sure I will go with a light weight 16" wheels for the same reason you moved down from the 17". That and don't think I want to go that low of a profile.
BTW, really like your black on black checkered roof.

 

Hmmm…. SS with white… Good color choice

 

Sent off an email to GoBadges to see about a badge for our lovely colored MINIs. Out of curiosity, how many would be interested in getting any?

I'm in, had her fore about 3 weeks now..

 

Nice stripes. ::

 

Don't know if anyone has mentioned it on this thread before but lets face it. If James Bond drove a Mini Cooper it would be Sparkling Silver...
Picking up a 2 owner 2007 71K Flappy Paddles Auto (non S) tomorrow.. Justifying the purchase in the sure and certain knowledge that the car will wind up being called James or JB (Unless 'She who must be obeyed' has other thoughts' ...

(Oh in case you are wondering, I have driven standard and auto and the 6 speed auto kicks the standards ***.. faster gear changes than I can do with the clutch, plus manual option and a little button that says SPORT ...vroooommm)

 

Speaking of names, I have yet to name mine. Was trying to find a sparkling wine or winery name. Funny thing is I came across a Welsh one that the new owners that are producing award winning sparkling wine, their last name is Morris.
Other than trying to figure out a wine name, so far I'm thinking Kip.
