Are there enough checks on Casper to qualify as extreme? If not, then check out the driver's eyewear in the last picture. Checquer board shoes are also frequently worn.

Why, oh why, would MINI offer blue/black leather seats for a standard MCS, but not the red/black - that's the only thing I wish I could have gotten on my MCS that was 'not allowed'!!!!!

And I've come to accept that I'll never have them - but it still sucks!

I am tracking down some speedo plates that are checkerboard with the Cooper S "S" on them....

I just hope they can do them w/o the S and for the dual gauge pod as I have a NAV.

They do not count fresh off the lot, but that sunroof is a good start.

I had thought I'd be stealing checkerboard bits FROM the checkmate edition when I heard of it. I was depressed that there was not much checkerboard at all. I do like that roof a bunch, good idea for that edition.

Some body on this forum had a checkerboard rear-view mirror cap. Any body remember who that was?

It might be a cool addition....

I have that. I also have checkerboard roof, checkerboard uni-stripe up the boot and bonnet, custom checkerboard stripe center caps, checkerboard visor stickers. I will post some pics later. I am also working on custom door sills too.

Does all this count?

My little wicked gene must be working over time today because "uni-stripe up the boot" made me laugh out loud.

Looks great on a MINI though.

Hey..... I just realized I need to add the xtreme checkerboard club badge. He/She who dies with the most badges wins?

I wish that I could get one that was cut for the garage door opener thing in the '05 and later models.
