I have to say that my favorite Mini is MSFITOY. I like the simple details that stand out like on his. I figure what the hell, everyone else is doing it so here is a few pics of my Cooper S that I just now started modding after owning a year. Doesn't have much done to it but here is a list of stuff I've done:
Alta 17% pulley
aFe Intake
Megan Coilovers
Megan Rear Camber Arms
Ireland Engineering Rear Sway Bar
One Ball Exhaust Mod
TSW Stud Kit
Flik Wasp 18" wheels
225/40-18 Falken Azenis RT-615 tires
Ebay Headlights
Hella 500FF lights on my own custom bar
20% Tint

these "post your favorite...." forums bug me because everyone just ends up posting pictures of their own stuff. Lets rename this to "pictures of your favorite mini's that arent yours!
heres a few of my favorites
this mini running 15x10's for autocross, and a very nice fender trim.


in my opinion these next 2 are just hands down, BAD ***!



got to love the classic mini v-tecs....my next mini will be like this


nice to see a car getting used!

Thanks! They are relatively new (to the line) Konig Again 4. They are available through Discount Tires - generally a good experience I must say. I didn't install the center caps as they are a little "plastic-y" for me and look cheap. I'm used to running capless anyway.

CRRIKEY - you should go back and read the first posts to this thread -- in which it was often said that the thread would head in the direction you've just mentioned. And despite those protestations, it still went the "self-promotion" route. I've identified many times which Minis I think are badass, and finally I think mine ranks amongst them, hence my post.

Well, I actually just changed my sig...
but, no. I will keep the Koseis for track days as they weigh considerably less than the new wheels and the RT-615s are reasonable tires...till I get real tires!

It's all in the eye of the beholder, but i'm going out on a limb and saying that i think the overall best looking mini i've seen so far is DRPHIL's. it's just a perfect combination. and this is not to take away from many great looking minis out there.

Well then he'll only get $5 from you Sid...since I never paid him a dime. Personally I think hardybob's taste is about as impeccable as it can get!
That said, if I could even break into the crowd that includes MSFITOY, Dopamine, Coen, Samtrak, and the too-numerous-to-recall-coz-it's-Friday-night-after-a-long-hard-week others with extremely modded Minis, then I'd feel proud to be included.

October 18--my little dose of LITHIUM gets an RMW tune!! woohoo.

MSFITOY's was my favorite until i saw DRPHIL's. I'm making alot of changes to mine so the pics in the gallery are way off now. i'll post some pics as soon as i get done, but it's silver and i kept the chrome, so it doesn't look as bad *** as your two cars. now where's my $5 from both of you?
