So I got up today and started a few projects. Had to replace the mirror caps as the original ones were pretty beat up and the right one was siliconed on (what a hack job by somebody). Got those done and then replaced my original hood scoop with a new freshly painted Chili Red one. Installed the new black GP sticker in the scoop, painted the rear calipers in red and installed some outmotoring.com wheel arch light tint. Now they are smoked. Speaking of smoked, had me a nice cigar during the process So, what do you think of the Chili Red hood scoop idea? I really think it makes the front of the car pop. Awesome morning messing with the MINI.

 

Adding a replacement factory GP decal on there was a nice touch !

 

Omg, I'm about to do the exact same thing except I bought the M7 extreme
Scoop! Even have a GP decal ready to go too! I'm also going to repaint the faux brake scoops red to give it more balance on the front. And I just picked up the JCW grill but haven't installed it yet. Man! Your cara looking good so I'm glad I'll be doing the same.

 

Very cool. I'm glad you could see mine so you know what yours will look like Awesome cars. Have fun!

 

Post some more pics if you can

 

 

You have a heat shield on your turbo?

 

No. I don't even have a turbo supercharged beast.

 

I like the red scoop with the mirrors

 

It looks really nice. I want to do something similar besides black. My car is the peppermint and I painted the scoop with plastic dip so it flat black. It goes well with the convertible top but I want to change the color. What color should I do..

 

Here's a close up shot from today.

 

^^ looks good !!!!!!!!
