Great job on the wheels, man! They look great!

 

RedBull,

Just wondering, where is your shop? By the way, your car looks great.

Larry

 

Not only do the wheels look fantastic the whole MINI looks awesome!

 

PGT is just bitter because he doesn't own a Mini any more .

Looks awesome. One of the best R56's I've seen.

Longboard

Keeping the fender flares painted black was a nice touch.

I have a good friend in New Smyrna Beach, So, maybe we will gewt a chance to meet.

Take care,

Just finished the pin strips last night...take a look

 

very nice, what side scuttles are those by the way?

 

JCW version of scuttles

 

Loving the new red!! Glad to see you went ahead and got some rear fog lenses as well!!

 

We'll have to wait for the judges to rule on this, but I would say that red rim stripe on top of the gloss finish pushes him over the rice boundary. Having come all this way with his styling modifications, that's got to hurt. Bob, any thoughts?

 

Anytime Larry....just drop me a PM.

 

Bring the opinions I love to hear them...good or bad. I was not 100% sure about the stripe so before I paint it on I used pin strip so I can remove it if I dont like it....I like the accent of the calipers and the contrast of the black and DS. I made the wheels for my Corvette and did close to the same thing and love it...these are the ones I did for my other car..

 

Cool. Just don't call "the circus" on me.

 

MMmmm..do you know the Circus???

 

[QUOTE=Red Bull;2612485]Hey All,
Just got the wheels on after I painted them. Here are a few teaser shots. We will be doing some real nice photo's later today. The mods have been moving my threads...hope this one stays here.

The day I picked up Red Bull




Really good looking! Great color!

 

Pretty crazy how far your Mini has evolved man^^ Congrats again. Im jealous!

 

Red Bull: Are those carbon fiber rims or just painted to look like it? 0.o

 

The centers are Real Carbon Fiber....I made molds from the blank wheel and hand layed carbon fiber in the mold them layed them over the center hub area. Took me 5 weeks to get them all done and would never do it again.

 

Red Bull: You are a sick man. Talented yes. Then again, there is a fine line between ingenious and crazy.

 

My wife of 16 years cannot understand why and thinks I need help.. I keeps my sanity in check

 

Thanks bud...getting to the point that I am coming to the small details on the exterior...still have work on the exterior but really starting to think about the interior and engine bay. Really diging the JCW Recaro seats...want them pretty bad..looking into them.

 

your car is sick.

it's about to the level looks wise that I hope mine to be in another year. I wish I had the cash flow and/or time+equipment to do my own work to get my car looking like that. Only thing I can say I'm not too sure of, is the headlight tint... It probably doesn't effect light output though.

What did you do to the tails? the level of tint looks perfect in the pics.

I'd love to see this car up close and personal, as I detail cars on the side... it'd just be nice to see the quality up close and personal, check out all those areas noone else would notice... too bad I'm about as far away as you can be in the contiguous US.

 

and the pinstripes add a nice touch. It brakes up the monotony of the black/silver combo.

although, I do think using a candy apple red to match the tails might flow a little better.
