neat kolor...................really neat pic, really spaced out, man

 

Just thought I'd show some pics of CHECKS...

 

Checks is lookin nice. He's lookin a little wet too

 

it was right after it rained...gave him a "fresh" look

 

Nice touch with the king on the roof.

 

......... hola

space blue likes the rain

 

Thanks, it took forever to figure out the color combination...

I've noticed that too...cause everytime I wash him...it rains that night even if it's nt supposed to

 

I think that holds true for all colors

The more MINIs washed, the greater the chance of rain

 

such frustration...lol

 

Space blue likes the sun - and a fresh coat of Z2!

 

He does like the sun too...the space blues just glitter in the sun. I'm told all the time "that is such a pretty color"

Question? What do you guys think about painting all the plastic trim around the bottom silver?

 

It would be an interesting experiment if it didn't cost so darn much to try it, but I am happy with black.

It seems there was someone around the forum that had a MINI (not space blue) with contrasting (not black) plastic. The dealer had done it I think, and they'd purchased it off the lot. They had photos, I'll have to see if I can dig that up.

 

if you could that would be great...I have seen it done with a contrasing aero kit but I didn't want that much of it silver...something less than that

 

Here's one in white. Now that you mention it, I think the one I was recalling was a contrasting aero kit.

I was gonna say that i knew I saw someone had painted their black pieces a contrasting color. It looks cool. I like having the black pieces painted the body color. To each his/her own.

 

I thought about doing that too and thought the contrast might be cool. If I do the silver there I'm planning on changing my grille slats to silver aswell.

 

that would look pretty cool

 

yes it does. and yes it looks better once i'm in 2nd GEAR!!!

 

My 17 yo daughter has one......space blue/silver/no checks....silver Minilites, silver dash/anthracite headliner, chrono pak w/chrome trim, convenience, cold weather, sound, etc. I have a JCW GP on order, hopefully for fall delivery.

i wish i had a car like that when i was 17. Congrats on the GP. Here's a question for you... can you get any options in those, or do they just come the way they come??

 

Whoaaa...Checks is BEAUTIFUL!

 

. . . just CHECKIN' in.

 

nice sunroof!!

 

The Checker roof is hot!
