I finally stopped driving it and took some pics...enjoy!

















The only thing that hasn't gone perfectly is the installation of my whalen ****. No matter how hard I, or my father, pulls on the **** it won't release from the boot. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I still LOVE the car!!!

 

VERY NICE! I really dig the red accents on the interior.

Congratulations.

 

can you not get the orgianl **** off? or you cant get a whalen off. beacse with original you just gotta brace your self, to hands up it and pull up! i have jcw shifter and switch it on and off about monthly, no reason why, just like the change

 

That's what everybody is saying...believe me I have pulled to the point where my arms feel like they're going to yank out of their sockets, I just can't get the factory **** off

 

Your car is absolutely stunning!

As for the factory ****...I have a 'vert, and it literally took my husband standing, straddling the console, and using both hands to pull it off. Make sure you give your face clearance when pulling. That **** will come loose...just don't want you losing some teeth or getting a black eye when it does.

 

Nice MINI, moose!!!

 

Great color combo, Congratulations! Love the red colorline!

 

Sweet MINI! I really like the interior The silver stripes on the bonnet look really good too

Question: When pulling off the ****, did anyone hold into the leather boot or was it strictly just the ****. I get worried that I might yank the boot out of the chrome ring at its bottom if no one is holding it down.

 

Very nice! Astro Blk was my second color choice. Settled on Dark Silver, but the black is a hot color.

 

werd yo... it looks good on u 2 kiddo... happy motoring...

 

The grey/silver stripes on the black was a thought I had. I'm glad to see it, and it looks very sharp. I have a black mcs, with the chrome and everything. Similar look. I like the red. You should get a red shifter. (I didn't catch what kind of **** you were talking about.)

Congrats. If I saw that thing around here I would have to chase you down to take a look.

Go with the dark silver stripes WE84R56, it makes a plain black mini look unique...and very hot.

 

Congrats!! Great looking MINI. Astro Black is a hot color, the red accent looks nice. Enjoy.

 

You pull straight up on it? Does someone brace the shifter console below it at the same time? No twisting at all?

 

The stripes look hot!

 

The guys who did mine (husband and his best friend) just pullllllllllllllllllled. I even double checked with them just now....yep, just pull really hard.

 

Nice! I really like the silver stripes on astro black.

 

Congratulations! It looks super spiffy.

Cheers!
