Very nice -

Was the road-kill there already or did the car eat it earlier and spit it out when you parked?

Definitely meaner look and just from painting the standard two grilles black. Very good.
Now for an even meaner look:
Anthracite or black wheels with silver lip (for contrast) maybe 17 or 18" with 40 or 35 series tires.
Carbon fiber bonnet scoop and mirror covers- theres a special running from one of the new vendors until monday June 30.
Silver or gold racing stripe down the bonnet center or to the side or on the sides middle to low on the door.
Just some ideas.
Otherwise it looks very sharp-just got to keep it clean!

Are your windows tinted? If so, what percent?

The car's beautiful, but what I was really thinking is "man I'd like to be hauling butt down that road."

orbhot, I was thinking the same thing! Growing up in England, I miss those little country lanes :smile: perfect for a Mini to go zooming around in.

Car look great! If you tinted the windows a touch and got black rims with a silver lip, you'll be extremely mean looking IMO. but still, as it stands right now, the thing is gorgeous!

I am ordering some Black 15"Team Dynamics Pro Race wheels to be used on trackdays so will post some pics when I get them...

The windows are factory tint...

Nice day today 27 degrees...

I'm lucky to drive a 12 mile twisty b road route everyday to work so the MINI gets a good workout everyday, there are some great roads in England..

I have a video clip from Wales when I had my old Cooper chasing a Lotus Elise down some really twisty roads, great fun..

If I find it I will post it

I am so jealous of your beautiful weather!
It's 37 here today!
Hot and humid!

I saw your homepage, pretty cool! Did you know your site makes our CD/DVD rom drawers open when we get to your home page?
