I figured I would try something new. It is an MC40, yes it really is (#565)Black roof is painted. New stripes, and started the blackout. Waiting on carbon door handles and gas cap. Thanks to Dopamine for the lead on the wheels.

 

Nicely done What are you using for your headlights?

 

Thank you. Headlights are tinted with some thick yellow tint (Lamin-x?) I bought off of ebay years ago and the surrounds are CF. By the way, my gallery has pics to show what it looked like before the changes.

 

the mini looks sweet first off.
second what brand offset and size are the wheels you have on there?
and where do you get all your CF?

 

Bud,

Stop teasing and show the interior of the car..... IT'S TO DIE FOR

 

Jan, I would love to show you the interior but you can see my photography skill level, or should I say lack thereof. The only interior photos I have are the ones Juan took a long time ago. (Three years now I think!) I will try to get some nice shots posted up here ASAP. Thanks again for the kind words.

jlucus245, Thank you. The wheels are Tenzo Racing sports Mach 10 18X7.5 with an ET of 42. They clear my Brembos with no spacers, but just barely. The CF was hand laid by a guy at stitchcraft before they offered all of it through JCW.

 

Bud,

I need my fix...... break out the photos Juan took.... they are amazing

 

Here is one I found from his gallery - and what can I say but OMG - HOLY INTERIOR:

 

Thanks Idontknowyet. Didn't think to look there.

 

I seriously have NEVER seen a Mini that comes close to this one.... you have to see it in person to get the full effect and the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Bud spent on it and every penny was worth it. It's tastefully done without being gaudy!

Bud is one of the most kind and humble guys you will find. He needs to get out to the local functions again!

 

My... what a big steering wheel ya got.

Sharp interior!

 

Beautiful car, can I have your oem wheels?

 

that interior is hawt! (coming from someone w/ $$$ spent too \/ )

 

Haha! Yes, it is better for the twisties! Thanks.

Thanks, You know, I would have given them to you but I traded them a while back for a bicycle. (My other wallet draining hobby!)

Thank you! Looks like you did a very nice job on your interior. Thanks for the lead on the Time Attacks too, I tried the guys you suggested but they didn't make them in the size I wanted. So these new wheels are kind of a substitute.

 

Now you know why I feel like a small potatoe around here...I can't afford real red alcantara so I substitute with red lights...

 

yeah, no problems...only in 15" for 4x100, though I got in on a special batch of 16's (just sold last week)

 

Yeah right Sid. You were the one who inspired me to get the Sparcos from day one of seeing your interior. Although, there is no way I could keep up with your gadget collection.

 

Wow- really nice! Do you get any hassle from the CHP or other police about the yellow tint to the lights?

 

Thanks. I haven't been hassled for the headlight tint or the tint I have on my taillights. I should point out that I am not a youngster (41) and that may have something to do with it?

 

Hey, I just noticed that together we have Paddy Hopkirk!
