i'm out to sea right now on the USS Abraham Lincoln. i only had the car for about six days total before i had to leave. but i'll be back in a few days and i'll post some pictures then. i'm going to start with the cosmetic stuff first then i'm eventually planning to throw a supercharger on my cooper and turning it into a sleeper s. i also am thinking that when the cvt tranny decides to give out i'm planning on swapping in a manual 6 speed. but other than that i still have to figure out what all the previous owner had done before he passed away. oh and it is an '02 cooper black top with sunroofs.

Lol, took me forever to finally post to this thread. Here's a couple of shots of when I initially got my car in Aug. 2005 and today. I've made a few slight changes since then

Then:



Now:





Anyone have any other pictures of their headlight rings and front grille surround in another color? I'm looking to do a little de-chroming up in front.

BritaLeCooper, you posted in the wrong thread. You are supposed to post in "Gorgeous girls in MINIs"! Both are very nice.

Even after 10 months of ownership, I'm still infatuated with my BRG Clubbie!

Bought my 2004 MCS back in September of 2008. Been having a total blast with it too.

His name is "Monstah", and he's got a nice growwwwwwwl.







Already went with a Volt cat-back exhaust, 17% Helix pulley, Alta intake, TSW torque damper, 380cc JCW injectors, detriot tuned bypass valve, rear sway bar, TSW springs, m7 strut brace, rear strut brace, and soon to install a water/meth kit.

Wo-hoo!!!!

Sorry, those pics were from a quote - that's not my MINI. Mine is still pretty stock. The pics stayed in the quote when I asked where the pics were taken. Surely the owner will see your compliment, though!

Just picked up a 2003 MC BRG/G w/ 43k miles... Planning to enjoy this until the market recovers (when/if) -- then looking into a Clubman S.

Thanks man!
A friend of mine did the green stripe, and actually detailed it for me. I had come back from a trip to Florida that morning, and went to his place to pick it up.

I think I may end up having the mirror caps done up in the same green stripe colour. Well see as time goes on.

That "clear jewel thingy in the center" is the backup lamp for 2002-2004 MINI's.
