Hope you like it :D

 

Does it matter if we like it? It's your car and I hope you built it for you to enjoy, not us.

 

haha no it doesnt really matter, but i still want to know what people think..

 

OMG I love your headlights, where did you get the chrome eyelids?

 

erhm the eyelids i got from somebody on ebay, ´search for him on ebay his name is chromeyourcar

just checked it.. :D

 

How about a pic of the front of the car with those headlights!

 

nice...love the colour!

 

nice mods... lets see it all put togther..

 

sure i can take a picture of it from the front :D ill do one with the egnition turned on and off, and also one with the halos' only.. :D

 

Hello Rix, I'd like more info about this blanket. I called K&N and they do not have anything like it. Do you have a part number, web link or any other details? Thanks Dustin

 

... then apparently it *does* matter. I was just trying to be a supportive forum member. If the opinions of random strangers means so much, I'll offer mine.

I don't like it.

There doesn't seem to be much cohesion to your mods. You add additional chrome trim to the headlights but then add blacked-out aftermarket projectors. Likewise you smoke the taillights and side repeaters but add chrome interior accents. I can see how adding contrast could be what you are after but I find it flashy.

There ya go. One more opinion for ya!

Also... every review I have read about those headlights says "good looking, terrible lighting". Not sure if thats the truth but I have no reason to empirically test it. Your choice of HID kit is not doing you any favors either. An 8000k HID kit puts you up into the obnoxius blue/purple quality of light, as well as significantly reducing the actual light output (in lumens) AND creating more glare/scatter to oncoming drivers, ESPECIALLY in adverse weather conditions. And that (except for qualifying the light as obnoxious) is fact, not opinion.

 

Just my two cents...

 

Hehe well thats fine, thats your opinion. Well the theme could be black and chrome trim? and well if you saw my HID kit, you might think otherwise as it is niether blue nor purple, and in your head that might tell that it's a 6000 kit. But it aint.
Still i cant see why you even bather writing when all you have to say is negative.. but it's easy to be cocky, when you havent applied any pictures of your own car?

 

not my opinion, just a fact... your wheels arent crown spokes

 

Sure..
Well this is a danish side: http://www.bilxperten.dk/default.asp...produktgrID=16

It's called a K&N powerblanket..

just google the word, there are lots of places you can buy it.
When i search it's mainly danish sites tho..
:D

pictures of headlights..

 

My wheels are 17" crown spoke, custom painted in black.. :D feel free to take the picture to your local dealer and ask him..

 

really? you sure? they look like s-lites to me.

here's a crown spoke:

notice the cap that covers the lugs and it also comes with r56's.

and here's an s-lite:

notice the lugs are not covered and this goes with r53's or r50's (which is what you have)

and yes, i AM a wise ***, but i did my homework, did you?

 

hehe well it seems you're actually right.. my dealer sold them to me as crown spoke tho..
my bad i guess.. t
he official mini.com site says they are s-spoke tho.

 

link to wheel faq on MINI2

to euro's it's an s-spoke, to some it's the LeMans, to others it's an s-lite and to many it's the s-heavy . in any case, it's certainly no crownspoke. i hope the dealer didn't charge you too much for them.

enjoy your cooper

 

it actually would'nt surprise me if he did..
You have no idea what kind of **** we have to put up with in Denmark because the dealerships are such idiots..

 

it's not just you with crappy stealerships, they're all over the globe

 

You wanted opinions, you got em. You didn't ask for only good opinions and I'm not one of the types that holds back on the honesty. But really.... Who the F cares what I think? Apparently you do, because you asked for public comment.

You might find this hard to believe, but I rarely post anything negative on here. I try to lend years of wrenching experience to those who need it. There are three ways you could take my statements. A)You could say "you're a negative person and you shouldn't bother posting." B)You could say "I never thought of it that way. However I like it and that's good enough for me." or C)"I never thought of it that way; maybe I'll make some changes". I was hoping to elicit a "B" reaction from you. Take pride in your work because it matters more to you than the rest of us combined!!

I haven't posted pictures of my car in a while because it's *my* car so I don't really care what you think. I care what I think, and I love it. However since you (apparently) want to see it, here ya go.

A couple days ago... dirty.


Now clean!


And the insides? Yeah, I'm rockin the one-seat-mod... but I only drive on the left side of the car!

 

well after thinking about i must admit you're right, and again it doesnt mean that much to me, tho it's always nice that people like your work. The reason why i seem to like these threads is because they often seem to give people ideas on how to make new mods for their own cars.

Any way i like yours alot, i actually wanted mine in that color originally.

 

As the saying goes, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder".

Some people don't like my chrome, some do. But who cares haha, I like it and it looks great at dusk against the city lights.

So what is next on the list of mods Rix?

 

Hey dude, your car looks great. Keep having fun moding it, and keep us posted.
