Gave my car a quick booty wipe today. Looks MUCH better in my opinion. Also decided to do the brake light mod.... here is the end result:


What you think? The only other cosmetic changes I plan on making are lowering the car (using Alta Sport springs) and 5 window tinting. :smile:

 

Beautiful!!!! I love it!

 

 

Nice clean look. Hey, No badges?
Those Magnaflow trumpet tips are huge!
More things to think about-
Sunroof 5% tint along with your other window tint
A "NAM", MCS, or MINI chrome or black license plate holder.
A stubby antenna
Rear lower adjustable control arms if you add the springs
Rear adjustable sway bar set to soft or middle
Lighter rims
Non runflat tires- try Bridgestone Potenza S-03 in 215/45-17.

 

"Hey, No badges?" <- Thus the term "Booty Wipe" and the pun on the title: "Booty-Ful".

Yes, the magnaflow have large tips, but the do give the car a much more aggressive scream and look. Sort of ricey in the low RPMs but it sounds GREAT when you are revvin high.

Things you said to think about:
Sunroof tint: I think the sunroof is already dark enough.... isnt it already tinted?

Plate Holder: Yes, I do want a "MINI" plateholder.
Stubby Antenna: Should be on the way soon
Control Arms: Havent considered this yet but it is a possiblity in the future
Sway bar: Yes, a must and its only a matter of time. Going with the Alta 22mm.
Lighter Rims: Nope. I am going to stick with the stock 17s. I know they arent the lightest in the world but I like the look of them. I think there are better things I can spend the money on.
Tires: Yes. I am going to go with Falken Azenis as soon as I wear through these ones.

Thanks for all the praises people

 

Like the doggy in the window! (And your car loks great too!)

Dogspeed.

 

Yes, the dog matches the car perfectly! White with some black here and there. On top of that, its wearing a gold chain so its sorta retro... Its like it was MADE to be put in this car!

 

I think it looks great. I'm thinking of doing the same thing to my PW/B this weekend. I assume you used the ol' dental floss technique. Do you have a pic of what it looked like right after you took off the letters? What did you use/was it difficult to remove any glue that was left over?

Thanks

 

It took 20 minutes to remove the badges, realize that the "MINI" emblem wasnt going to come out, pull off the liner in the boot to see what was holding it in, put the cover back on, and wire up the lights. The dental floss technique made it really easy... they come right off. The left over glue came off easily with a bit of Meguiar's Gold car wash. I am really happy with the end results.... now lets pray for those springs for my B-day

 

I wiped mine too. Put new M'flow tips on the one-ball as well. A little blatty off idle but great sounding when wound up.

 

Gorgeous MINI!!! The "clean" look is awesome on the PW/B! Cheers!
