story goes: my wife was so cool with me getting my dream car last Sept, that I wanted to return the kindness with her dream car. She's always be a big supporter of my mod aesthetic, so she gave me free reign to "make it cute". It's a retro throw back to the 60's Monaco rallye cars. The colors help it from being to aggressively masculine, but not too feminine for hubby to cruise it.
Wheels are custom 1 piece forged wheels to resemble my ferrari challenge wheels. I want to say they are iForged track series (?)
I'll have to get more info from my buddy who got them for me. I'll get some more pics when the center caps come...
Never been much of a tint guy...
I only tint when the rear windows come factory tinted and I want to match 'em up.
THANKS for the thumbs up!!!! the wife and baby love it.

LOVE the MINI !!!!
Everything but the yellow lenses on the driving lights. I went away from the pic and came back to it 30 minutes later just to see if my initial thought stuck with me. It does.
Change those out and I think it'll look even better as those throw off the theme just a bit and divert the eyes attention from the really good stuff.
Oh, and paint the towhook red while you're at it.
Just my humble opinion. Still LOVE it though !!

You lucky rich bastards.
I swear, I can't believe the number of people on this forum who own exotic sports cars, and a MINI! 2 things I would have NEVER thought I'd see in the same driveway/garage.
