Hello all,

After a 7.5 yr hiatus, I'm back to being a MINI owner. Here are some pics of my CMS, which I took delivery of 4-5 months ago. I've been trawling the threads here, and finally got around to uploading some pics.

It's pretty much fully loaded (not All4 though), and I've got a few cosmetic touches added including: Trident stripes in black & blue, carbon fiber scuttles, tints, eyebrow tint, gobadge badge & stubby aerial.
plus
I'm planning on a few suspension related tweaks soon - front strut bar and rear sway bar. Plus a Whalen shifter over this month or so ... can't wait!!

All in all, been super-happy with this ride, and really happy to be back with the MINI fam. FYI I used to own a Mini Cooper (Indi blue/white) in the UK for 4+ years when they first came out. I then sold it since I moved to the US, but the timing for a MINI never worked out until recently. I was fortunate enough to have some nice rides in between, Mazda RX8, Infiniti G35 Coupe and Infiniti G37S Coupe. But always wanted to get back in a MINI. Finally it happened

More from me soon ...

 

Welcome back! I took a 4 year hiatus and just like you say - always wanted to come back. Took delivery of mine last week. Couldn't be happier

 

Very nice! I really like the contrasting stripes. Congrats on being back in a MINI!

 

Welcome back, Kotter! Looks great!

 

Thanks all! The stripes were done by Vinyl Styles in San Carlos, CA btw.

 

very nice ride all the way around. Stripe job is right on. How much for the stripes as I am getting stripes next week. looking to get 2 6-7 inch stripes right down middle, any thoughts/suggestions

 

great stripes! From great guys, too

 

All in all, the stripes cost me ~$450 from what I can recall. Includes all the way from bonnet through roof to boot. One cool aspect of the blue roof stripes is that they also show blue through the moon roof

Good luck with yours!

 

That'd be cool! I got mine done for $450 I think. Got a little discount as I bought the carbon scuttles too.
