EDIT: turns out my pictures were hugeeeeee so I took them down off of this post you can still check the photobucket link!






:D Sorry for killing your internet connections, hope you've enjoyed, I know I am!!!

 

Holy huge pics batman! Nice looking car

 

niceeee brg !!!

 

Thanks! Do the pictures not resize themselves for everyone? Didn't realize how huge they were at full size

Thanks, I love it more every time I look at it.

 

They load at full size and then shrink once fully loaded.

BRG is my favorite color. Congrats!

 

Congrats! Looks very nice. I love the BRG and that would have been my choice had I bought a new one instead of used. Are you planning on blacking everything out on it? I personally love the chrome myself and think the blacking out of it is just a fad.

 

Looks very nice!

 

Thanks!!

 

Congratulations on your MINI Nick!

 

Just noticed from your pics that they changed the JCW exhaust tips. When did that happen?

 

I think this is a MCS with only the JCW body kit... so no JCW engine bits or factory JCW.


Love the BRGII with white roof combo.

 

great looking car! and i'm really starting to love those jcw rims!

 

Congrats! Drive it Well.

Nice ride! Beautiful pics. Congratulations Nick and thanks for serving.

 

Correct, MCS with JCW Package (Aerokit, Wheels, etc) might get tuning kit later if it becomes available for MCSa


Thanks!

I agree! Didn't think I was gonna love em but they're growing on me!

Will do!

Thanks all! And proud to do so anitan, I'm one year from OCS.. time to get back in amazing shape


I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT IN THE SUNLIGHT!

 

DUDE!!!

Looks awesome! Congrats and best wishes....

 

The car and you are well matched. I hope it continues to bring that same smile to your face every time you motor.

I find with wheels for me that it is a fine line between how smashing they can look to how they pull the eyes away from the beauty, the lines of the car itself.

Here in CT, looks like another week without sunshine. When you finally see it in the sun, it will be like seeing it again for the first time.

 

Congrats, it looks really nice. I love to see happy new owners

Cheers!

 

Nice car! How is it that you already have a license plate on a new car? In California it would take a month to get an actual plate.

 

great looking car! congrats!

how are you liking MINI Connected?

 

Ah, misread his signature. JCW package = JCW aero package, not tuning package.

 

New York is pretty quick about plates, usually only takes a few days, however I have a feeling mine was registered before they even had it because we go in order with our letters FLL on mine, and yesterday I parked next to an FLY!

Thanks! I couldn't tell you, I don't have an iPhone so I don't use the "MINI Connected" part of it, but I love having the screen for everything else that it does and I'm glad I went with it, it's great with the Satellite radio.

Yup! Tuning might come later, I'm having too much fun already and I'm still breaking it in... car hasn't seen above 3500RPM yet!

Although I still cringe everytime I go over a pothole... maybe that wheel insurance is a good idea.

 

Man, I'm with you on that one.

 

yep...took me about 5 days to dent my first one. gonna file a claim with city of LA, but i'm not holding my breath.
