Black, she's a beauty.

 

Very Nice!

Dave

 

Congrats! Looks great!

It's so nice to see pictures from (more or less) home, too. I grew up near Lakehurst....

Enjoy!

Installed my second mini-fini cup holder, this time on my (the driver's) side. Way bad ***.

 

Installed an alpine iDA-X305S and found the factory GPS no longer speaks.

I also replaced the dome, foot well, trunk, and puddle lights with LEDs. More to come.

 

Replaced the stock door speakers w/ Polk Audio db6501 Components (Christmas present from the wife) to go along with the 6x9 JVC's I had previously put in the rear. I had read in forums where people had made or bought spacers to move the woofers out to clear the electric windows. The set I bought had thin spacers supplied that allowed easy mounting, clears everything and allows you to use the stock speaker grills for both the woofers & tweeters. There is even room for the crossover to be mounted next to the woofer and have it clear the door panel. Slick install.

 

On New Year's Day, I did a full detailing. Wash, clay bar, wash, 2 coats of Zaino, 303 Aerospace Protectant, Black Wow, and vacuum. Took about 4.5 hours, but wowie wow wow! She looks great!

edit- I forgot to add pics!

 

I did the New England version of that. It was freakishly warm (almost 45 degrees) which gave me the opportunity to hand wash and towel dry out in the driveway. I also gave the underside a though irrigation and washed sand and salt off the floor mats.

It was pretty well gray from road salt by bedtime though.

 

Sorry about the salt after all your hard work, but the color of your MINI is so beautiful!

 

Yeh, whattagonnado?

Thanks for the compliment. It's a one-year color ('03). This car was down your way (in Miami) all its life until last June.

 

I bet she's missing Miami now!

 

Installed a checkered sunroof decal to match the mirrors. Looks gooood.

 

Apologized to my MINI for not taking it out of the garage so far this winter, and then apologized for the two times I did.

 

I'm intrigued. Photo?

 

Finally got my auto-up module and ipod radio cables installed after driving around with them in the glove compartment for several months. Got the oil changed too. Thanks Dan at Grassroots Garage.

 

I'm going to second that emotion, gr8ful!

 

rear brakes and a bump on her nose stinking wheel stop

 

installed 550cc injectors and ByteTronik ECU management.

 

Wow Black, I love it!!

Today (well ok yesterday) I gave Zippy a bath...or rather, had my boyfriend do it while I watched at the do it yourself wash. For $5.50 he got a good soapy brush and foaming conditioner! Then of course, it rained later. And I got a better photo shoot with him after he was all clean

 

Today is my son's 20th birthday. He loves my MINI so I switched cars with him today and let him take my '02 MCS to work.

 

Raining today, will get a couple of pictures tomorrow and post them.
Installed checkered wheel center caps today, not sure about the look.

 

Walk past it and smiled.

 

Ordered more parts!

 

Swapped out the Run Flats for Continental ExtremeContact DWS; smoother and quieter ride on the way home!

 

Thank you!

I noticed you post about buying "zippy" a few weeks ago and glad it worked out for you! My first Mini was an 06MCS in that blue and your same rims but in white, hellofu time trying to keep clean but when they were she was gorgeous I still to this day have not run across a more gorgeous blue then the color that was offered on the 05-06 years or mabe im just being partial Zippy is quite nice, the graphic on the sides are different but i like it

i just came back to this thread and noticed all the compliments i had so rather then quoting you all Thanks All
