Black MINI Cooper S with checkered roof

Black MINI Cooper S with checkered roof

Don't mind that, I'm just typing it like that so it can be found easy when searched, I didn't find many black MCS's with checkered roofs when I searched so I figured I'd help out.

I'm very satisfied and I got it for 60$ installed, try to beat that!



















Photochop!

Nice pics


Off Topic:

Are you the one who made a custom exhaust? Also is it normal for the passenger side of the exhaust to hang down so low?

I like the way yours goes all the way to teh edge of the roof. I got mine when ordering as an offical MINI accessory and it stops about 1 inch from the edge all around.

That looks fantastic--love the look of your car (actually like it better the way you've got it over the photoshop).


How did you get the roof done for so cheap? They did a great job on that.

The exhaust can be made to go higher but then you'd have to redo the last part of tubing, so I'll let it be, for now.

I got it cheap, well, I know a guy who has a friend that's in the decal-business so he just cut it out in his shop and put it on in an hour for me, he had never done a MINI roof before! I think it's pretty much a ripoff, $250 for a damn roofdecal, without even installation, come on... I wouldn't be surprised if they made like $200 profit on each flag.

If you look closely it goes over the rear wing as well! I'll try to take a overhead pic as soon as I can, I searched for a spot to do it yesterday when I was taking the photos but couldn't find any. :(


The rims are 18x7.5" Rota Subzero wrapped with Toyo Proxes T1-R 215/35/18, love the rims, they've held up great! And I'm not rubbing or anything, on stock suspension!

Thanks for the kind words.

Great roof graphic, Mario! I really like that it is wrapped over the wing, too. I love the way your MINI looks! You got a great price!

Looks great! Now I wish I had gotten a black MCS.

Anyways, you gotta clean those tail pipes. it's ruining the clean look.

Is it Jet Black or Astro Black.

Put in an order for MIB. It is a 2006 so it had to be Astro Black/Astro Black
