Ohhh yah you're right. There were two models.

The HPA motorsports mini (red one posted earlier) used to run the ones with the pattern on the lip. It was my dream wheel for a while. I had a bunch of photoshops of my car with those wheels on there

 

I loved that car. When I got my Bullets--on clearance for $79 each, that was the only MINI I could find that was running them, and the picture I found was tiny---nice to see higher res ones posted of it. Didn't realize that was HPA motorsports.

Ok, shameless submission of pics.

My 03' (Kinda "Longboard lite" in both mods & power, although I've had it 4 years)






My 06': Just scratched the surface of some changes. Needs Joey Mod, de-chrome, and so on. Perhaps different (and much better) wheels when the budget allows.

 

I had these in my hands a week before AMVIV:

I ordered 17s they sent 16s I didn't want 16s. After AMVIV I want either five spokes or maybe the newer konig zeros.
What makes it worse is I am running s-lites now the R99s are on my wifes car.
(which is my favorite looking one of ours)

A preview of my dash red tinted Marine Pattern (MARPAT) digital camo:


As for the light:

 

Oh man, that dash is sweet! Paint? Vinyl?

 

that dash is F* ing beautiful

 

people post their own cars, seriously, your own car probably isnt the best....

 

people tend to form a bond with their own cars

"Post the best looking MINI Cooper! (to you)"

 

I agree. We design and mod these cars ourselves and make it the image we want. So, naturally, we will probably think our own (in our opinion) is the best looking (unless funds are holding back certain mods). But it sure doesn't mean we cannot enjoy others' works of art

 

There's always somebody taller, thinner, prettier, and richer. Certainly true for me.

Doesn't mean that I don't like what I have, a little more.

That said, Dopamine's is my favorite. Shooler's is right up there too.

 

The dash is vinyl. Mine will be a bit more of a challenge since I will have to wrap into the vent openings. Either that or find a chili red dash owner who wants to trade for an anthracite one.

 

That will be tricky but I'm sure the visual impact will be well worth the time.

 

While I like the blacked out look, and own a blacked out IB, there is something about a clean black and chrome that just stands out. Very tasteful and classy look. I also like the bronze wheels. Nice subtle contrast.

 

Yes, both JCW Driver's cars are very classy indeed! They quite possibly make up the best PAIR of Minis in the same household.

 

I agree Phil even taking our pair into consideration.

 

Oh almost forgot. JCW I call first offer on the five spokes off the CR when you tire of them.

 

wow. this car is really cool. I love the gold. Its a rear color especially with the aero kit on it. Very nice

 

pics do no justice....in person...its ****in HOT!

 

You're not kidding it took two looks to notice the painted arches. very nice.
