nice! Going to get caps for the door handles? Or keep the chrome to tie in with your nice rims?!

 

I'll have to cross that bridge after I update the rims, the headlight and taillight rings. The rings will be relatively easy, but the rims will take some saving. The plan is a set of black 17" Enkei EDR9.

Know of any handle covers that have gotten good reviews in reliability? I would hate to lose one during a spirited drive, and I'm not sure I'm ready to take the doors apart to get to the handles for paint... LOL

 

Love My black 17 " EDR9's! Tire rack took good care of me! Check out my gallery. They are wicked!

 

I think outmotoring has them. Haven't seen any reviews though...

 

Sweet! Thanks, Giggles. I'll have a look at OutMotoring for sure, and I've been looking at TireRack more than a normal person should as of late.

 

Obsessive Mini folks think alike....best thing I ever did was swap out the run flats. Got Conti DWS tires at same time, they are great.

 

i have 16'' edr9's and love them also

 

washed her. Gave her a big ol' bath.

 

Bummer but no, can't make it this year.
For sure next.

 

I'm thinkin' something needs to be done to those wheels too!!

 

Molly got a quick Interior/Exterior Detailing tonight!!

 

I guess I'm looking at painting the "winter" rims until I can get a set for the summer.

 

Took a few minutes and installed my JCW strut brace. And I considered it a "little tank" before, is now even more "solid" feeling. Subtle, but it's there.

Next stop: get a bit lower...NM springs!

 

Nice job!!! I say do the handles and don't mess with covers. The doors aren't THAT scary to get into. :-)

 

I didnt do anything to my MINI because I am stuck on an army post in the middle of Germany right now. I was wandering around Munich Saturday and MINI's are everywhere! There are even rental COOPER "D's" running around. Wish I could have picked one up and tried out the diesel MINI.

Next Saturday, I'm going to check out Nurmburg, it should be a blast.

 

Well, that does it... Looks like I have another Sunday project this weekend.

 

Threw my new wheels on

 

Good aim!

Looks good!

Am I the only one that thinks this pic looks like an actual MINI advert? Wheels look great! So does the car

 

Thanks!

 

Took off the stock stripes and put some new vinyl today! Went for the single offset stripe contrasting BLACK/red front and RED/black on the back. Really brings out the red belting IMO. Loving it
Sorry for the horrid photo quality, Afghanistan ruined my real camera

 

Summer struck today as I drove from upstate to Long Island to sell my truck off tomorrow =(..

But 95 degrees!!!
On the highway, I SOOOOO wanted to slalom through these


Going along smoothly, nice drive on the NYS Thruway, cruising along at speed when suddenly...(ignore the insect genocide on my windshield..)



At first I was pissed for sitting in this for an hour, but saw the wreckage of a semi hitting a tour bus and realized that I have nothing to complain about, truck lost one of its fuel tanks, no sure if there was a fire or not but the bus was missing a nice chunk from its driver side rear corner, hope everyone was alright..

 

That traffic looks brutal.

95deg... We got snow here in CO yesterday. I can't even imagine what 95 feels like anymore.

 

If you are driving a MINI the lyrics from "Some Beach" by Blake Shelton should be going through your mind!!

I don't care how long it takes me to get where I'm going, as long as I'm driving the Molly car I could care less about what kind of traffic I'm in!!
