+1, I agree. Wonder what's done to it to get it to 60K (or is that the milage ) That painted trim looks just fantastic

It's not my style -- I prefer what others here on NAM have done for much less -- but I'm sure it gets people's attention.

The rims are a bit much for my tastes, but those seats look tasty!

Stunning!

The only thing I would change is the lights. Dump the yellows and go white all around.

yea 60k+ is the price, they did some crazy **** to the motor, it's putting down like 270whp which is freak'n nuts, it's a joint venture with Al & Ed's stereo and AC Schnitzer. Very nuts in real life, completely redone interior, insane stereo setup...just nuts.

In a Cabrio!? Wow 270WHP in that, I would be a bit nervous I'd fly out of the car! That's some serious cashish

I think the grill looks a little too much like the current Audi/VW grills-looks like a custom facia. The two tone interior is nice.

That was my first thought -- and as overwhelming as it is on the A4, it is doubly so on the MINI

I would be too, specially after looking at the stock brake set up. With so much power, you definitely want to go BBK.

But enough about the little unimportant things...check out the link for all the details. Cheers
