Anyone have a picture of a Chili Red Cooper S with the M7 Ultimate Grilles?
Prefere a white roof but anyone will do! Thanks!!

 

how about m7 thinks about us guys with the hypersport! I would love these things!

 

Yeah fo sho that would look tight because you have all AB. BTW, I saw your latest vid on Youtube. im so jealous of the sound of your engine!!

 

hahaha thanks man! I'm going to do a new one, with my AGS-R...sounds even better!

You should see if Peter can do a special order for you. He's real nice!

 

Im so jealous you have the AGS-R!!

Do you think Peter would give a discount? That would be nice, being a student and all...

Btw, how do you like your chrome line interior? I am planning on adding a retrofit kit from Morristown Mini and I want to get some opinions on it...
Just curious

 

Do it. I think it looks great. Any person telling you there is a glare in the sun is just jealous they never got it to begin with I'm not a fan of the chrome on the outside, but inside, it looks really nice, especially with a nice clean up. The non-chrome interior in my opinion looks pretty blah.

I'm a student too! I commute though and work 4 jobs, pretty much why I am blessed to be able to buy these things. Although, my money in my stocks has significantly dropped Oh well, thankfully, it wasn't too much! Good luck!

 

I definitely will do it then. Morristown said that the kit would be 250 for the whole thing (plus 20 for shipping from NJ to Vegas), minus the tach (would have to buy a new one, not happening), shift lever trim ring (no biggie, they said I could just buy a new boot w/ trim if I want it later), and the e-brake handle (already ordered from outmotoring along with a beltline blackout kit). Not too bad since outmotoring's price is like 350, and morrismini's price is almost 400 )

Did u say 4 jobs? Wow... When I said student, I actually meant I was still in high school (sophomore)!! So what are you majoring in?

 

I didn't know, I assumed college! Yeah, I only have 4 classes a week so working is no problem for me. I'm majoring in Computer Science and minoring in Moding my MINI! Yeah, I paid 250.00 from the factory for the trim. Hope all works out well!

 

Thanks dtsoccer. Good luck to you as well.

 

A sophomore in high school with a brand new Mini and modding it?! Wow, your a lucky kid! You must be getting some amazing grades!

 

Haha thanks drsilvermini and yeah that could have something to do with it! Also, I think my paretns kinda wanted it for themselves, in a weird sorta way. My mom thought it was cute () and my dad liked the performance of it. He has been into exotic cars for a while now, and loved how the Mini could slalom FASTER than his Lamborghini.

Last year there was a dark silver R56 in the student parking lot, and this year there is a Chili Red R53. At my old high school there was four minis in the parking lot. An all astro black R56 (heavily modified), an MC40 (my dream mini when it came out) an oxygen blue R56, and a British Racing Green R53. Wow!

^^Cool! Nice to meet another dude who became a Mini owner in High School!!

 

Thanks!! That looks great, especially with the Vortex Scoop!! If you have any other pics, please post them!! I am anall were I wanna know exactly what I am getting into BEFORE I actually do it. (So this way I spoil the surprise of how good it looks? )

Great job!

 

Dude you should get some M7 grills for your Mini!! The accent would look great!

 

If only they made them for the factory Aero kit, I would be all over it, trust me!

 

Oh yeah, I forgot you have the factory aero kit. I keep thinking you have the JCW aero ! Hey did you get a video up of the AGS-R yet? I wanna see!

 

Not yet, but I will tomorrow. I have a run tomorrow for my local MINI club. I will take vid and many pictures, thanks to my new Vacuum mount! Keep posted!

 

Sweet! Looking forward to it! have fun on your run...

 

So where are these pics and vids???? I'm interested in getting the AGS-R also, and would love to see it on an AB.

 

Holy crap that things looks awesome. Did it come with just the grill or did it come with the surround part too?

 

I installed the M7 grills on my R53 and they didn't come with the surround. I actually like the look without the surround. It blends right into the bonnet and looks really clean without the surround.

 

I installed the M7 grill set on my R53 and it didn't come with the surround on that version. Actually I think it looks best without the surround since it blends so nicely into the bonnet with those nice compound curves (see my gallery)
