Yes, that brakes are worth it. I wanted to make sure I never got any fade no matter how hard I am to them on the track, or how ever heavy the car is. I love being able to outbrake everything, and at a recent track day I was out braking Lotus Elises and several race cars in the same session.

Closest I could find to clean and showing the brakes:

Was the paint work by the gas filler cap repainted? Looks like the same color as the arches which were obviously painted. Just wondering.

Nice setup!

Thanks again! Yes, it was painted. After 70k miles, a big dent and a bit of very nasty octane booster (propper toxic stuff) being spilled needed it painting so had it done with the arches. Will probably get everything filled and do the whole car at some point, but then I keep changing my mind as I then chuck it around on a track.

Just wondering, have you ever thought about taking white plasti-dip to the chrome on your car?

very clean though, love the EB with white.

Painting random parts black on a car with a white roof , white wheels, and next to no other black left on the car to tie into? That would look awful. The chrome fits the car's style 10 times better than black parts.

People are getting addicted to this whole black-out thing. Just randomly blacking things out without thinking about how it fits with the flow of the car is not a good idea.

He said white plastidip...they make it in a bunch of other colors other than black

I know on my next MINI, I have a good idea

My bad...guess i skimmed over the 'white' part since i thought it only came in black black.

Still, white headlight rings on a blue car? Bad idea. That would definitely get the car removed from this thread.

Lol no no. Paint the headlight rings in EB. Just pain the handles, gas cap, and side markers white.

What the crap do I look like?!? This isnt Justin's Carbonfiberbargainrama. I like how you roll up on me and expect you to get the deals while I am left shelling out the sexual favors.... I had a set on order but I cancelled for the moment since I was waiting on a decision from Sushi (AZBlackout) if he wanted me to get him a set. I would say it would be another GB but seeing how Sushi got burned....Im not doin it. Anyways, let me know. I can probably get them cheaper than that by a few bucks too.

I disagree. a full white-out would be sweet. HL rings, side vents, door handles, gas cap, and a white joey mod and last but not least----white belt-line
I think it would really tie the EB/W together.... then again I am heavily biased against chrome and it is YOUR MINI
...and I did go so far as to plasti-dip my roof

It's alright. I too, am against chrome.

A full white out would be freaking epic.

Well if it's just because you hate chrome and you don't care how it actually flows....you might as well get neon pink door handles, sparkle yellow headlight rings, a nice pastel green beltline Those would stick out about as much as the white

I still stick by the fact that things like white door handles on a BLUE car would look ridiculous. Especially if it's gonna be a matte textured white finish while the wheels, stripe, and roof are a smooth glossy white

ya know, for some reason white handles may actually look good on that car. I love the pink idea too

^jk except pink is awesome
