I got my MINI's windows tinted today. Yeah wont be a million degrees in the car this summer.

 

Not today but last Sat (3-6-10), was in Rome with no wifi, just got to Paris and was finally able to upload a pic.

 

i got my stripe put on, it is on bonnet and boot, straight down the rivers side, looks good, but i think they sent me the wrong color

 

Are those Ecel wheels on there, ? they look sharp, mine just came and i am waiting to put them on.
Took the Mini in a Month early for Inspection as i am going away for 3 weeks and did nto want to deal with it when I came back, but it failed, needs a tie rod end ordered and will be installed tomorrow

 

Installed some new billet pedals, a mini fini cup holder, and painted the heat shield in the rear so you can't see the sliver through my new M7 rear grilles.

 

Yep, E-22s, I like them a lot.

 

Real Nice, mine will be on by the end of the week, have to get my Tie rod fixed today.
Are those 16 or 17s, what size rubber?

 

Installed invisishield film foglight kit.

 

Ok, so it wasn't today, it was two days ago, but I got the one-ball done. I immediately took off on a road trip to Tucson, going the very indirect route via Globe from Mesa. It runs much smoother now--with louder, but still mellow exhaust note, more of that throttle-off burble. The best thing is that it feels like it finally coughed up a hairball it's been hacking on.... It also seems to be getting noticeably better gas mileage, so the $30 I spent on it should come back relatively quickly....

Yesterday--I painted my intercooler cover.

Today--I modded the stock airbox and the cowl panel behind it to vastly increase the amount of cowl induction going on. I can't wait to take the trip back home to see how it responds. Preliminary test drive impression: seems to breathe easier, slight increase in supercharger whirr. I can't wait to take the trip back home to see how it responds. https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ml#post3010548

Drove it today. But two days ago I installed a set of KW V1 coilovers.

 

Well it was actually yesterday, but I finally picked out my rims & tires and ordered them (Enkei SC03 Silver rims and Falken Ziex ZE-912 - 215/45R17 tires)

 

washed and wax car and new wheels. then drove under an overpass that construction was being done on and got water +concrete dust splats all over the car! ...AWESOME!!

 

Managed to reset my oil change indicator light.... Also, this weekend I moved the bluetooth microphone from the passenger side to the drivers side. It was the easiest mod ever, and makes a big difference in the sound of my voice on the receiving end. Everyone is now happy they can hear me and I don't have to scream!

 

I like it, was a little tricky to get on but I think it came out well. Also dropped off my bro's Clubman to be painted, busy day.

 

I installed the Aero kit and halo turning signals, this coming weekend koni shocks and springs "

 

Got my summer wheels out of the basement and cleaned 'em up! Don't worry - they went down there spotless. Just had to dust them.

They go on Wed. I hit a pothole or two this winter with the run flats so I'm getting a 4 wheel alignment while I'm at it - if it even needs it...

 

Those are great looking wheels! And they look easy to clean, too! I've got to see pics when they're on!

 

So basiclly i have an R56 non-S, not much i can do. i jus began with the basics... lighting. So I've done a 6000K HID Kit, LED foglights (with output ), Tinted the windows, smoked out my taillights, and got rally lights with LED Halo rings built in. and LED lisense plate lights. my 1st and last mod to the engine is an NON-S air intake from K&N

take a look lemme know what u think

Got my windows tinted today! Nice!

 

nice pics! car looks brand new.

 

Nice work! But don't think just because you have a NA MINI your options are limited.

 

Well, it wasn't 2day, but over the wkend: bathed Scoopie and finally got 2 install her MINI Eyes!

 

Cut out the resonator and put a straight pipe in my JCW Exhaust. Ooooh, sounds mean now

 

Thanks Albie, they should be at my door in about 2 weeks.....I'll post pics as soon as they are on.

As for today, I ordered a new grille and got a great deal on a set of aftermarket driving lamps.

Car looks great with the mods rkiller......I'm a big fan of silver.

 

i painted my tailight rings today......
