New Wheels and Aero Kit installed!

I have finally been able to update my MINI.
First is the AXIS Mod 7 in 18" x 7.5" wrapped
with Toyo Proxes 215/35/18. I love them!

Next is the MINI aero kit. I bought new fender skirts
to smooth and paint so everything would look new.
I also added the new painted mirror caps.

To "top" it off, a Wolverine roof graphic. The balck
and yellow scheem is looking good.

It feels like a new MINI all over again.
What should I do next?

Ya, I bought them about 8 months ago because I wanted to go yellow to match the body. But I had to wait until I got the aero kit, which I did about 3 months ago, to paint everything. The money shelled out for the stereo delayed the exterior.

I think I am going to add some stripes or something this weekend unless it is too damn hot.

Thanks. It has been on there for a while and I thought about replacing it with something new. But I just love the way it looks and fits with the overall color scheme. I'm sure I will replace it soon, but I just don't know with what yet.

Thanks again!

Alpine CDA-9815 head unit
Dual Rockfor Fosgate amps
Dual Rockford Fosgate 10" subs
MB Quart & Boston Acoustic mids & highs

I will be adding more to it in the next couple months.
I just started a website for my MINI today.

Nice job!

Thanks guys.

I think the side skirts are a must.
I just figured out all the costs involved and found it easier
to do it all at the same time.

My wheels are
AXIS Mod 7.
18" & larger is all they come in.

I love the roof graphics......how did you do that?

Is it possible to show how it would look from the inside of the car when looking out of the sunroof?

Many thx!

Roof Graphics

The roof graphic, I made it.
I own a graphics company and vehicle graphics
are my are of specialty. This is the 3rd roof graphic
I have had up there.
First it was The Italian Job movie poster when the movie came out.
Then it was Spiderman when the movie came out.
Wolverine has been up there for 4 or 5 months now.
When you look up from the inside, you can see the image....
although not as clear at it looks from the top. But you can tell what
the image is.
This weekend, I am going to take new pictures of the car with
the graphics, the stereo, etc.

Anytime Chris, just let me know about 24 hours in advance.
I'll make sure it is nice and clean!

I have been waiting to shoot photos of my car until I got this
stuff done. I am excited about a "photo shoot". I saw the photos
and I must say they were sweet! I want to do that.

I agree, I think the blue and yellow will go together well.

Just let me know!
