Hello from Singapore!

Hi guys,

I'm from Singapore & I'd just collected my R56 One @ 09 Dec .
I would like to share my Mario's pics with you guys if you all wouldn't mind!

Here's Mario @ MINI Habitat's delivery bay


Changed to the stock rims to the 5-Star Bullet rims


Cheers!

Looks great! I really like the wheels, and the all-red color combo is fantastic.

Happy motoring!

Bullet rims are one of the best MINI wheels. OEM S lites for the track .

Thanks, guys!
My next mod would be to replace the stock fuel cap assembly with that of the Cooper S.

Get some lighter rims rather than the really heavy ones. Makes a difference in the pickup, and fun factor.

Car looks nice.

Congrats on the MINI... Must have cost you a pretty penny in Singers... Singapore is one of my favorite places on the planet, but the cost of purchasing and maintaining an automobile there is prohibitive...

I remember checking the price of a JCW in Bangkok and it equated to around $94,000 USD...

Thanks, BensMini!
I'd own a R53 a few years ago but due to an unfortunate incident, it was written off.

Here's a couple of pic of my ex-R53 then;

You must be paying a high premium in taxes & fees to own a car in Singapore. Enjoy Motoring.
