Heres one from Boston! Dont know how you guys get the pics into the body of the post yet!

 

Some really hot R50's in here. I'm biased of course, but more and more I think it's the best looking of the whole line-up, especially when tastefully modified.

LiquidWhite, GREAT looking car and excellent photos, the yellow and white is a combo that really pops, especially with the matching wheels.

Here's the front end of my '06, still need to lower it and I'm thinking of de-striping or going with viper stripes.

 

Heres my 2003 Mini Cooper. She's pretty basic right now but I love her!

 

Nice MINI! Great snow driver, isn't it fun scooting past the SUV's?

 

Also just installed a magnaflow exhaust but this is the best picture I have before that

 

I do love that! It is awesome to see the look on their faces when I pass them!

I would really like to black out the chrome exterior trim on my car, but have no idea how to go about it. Do you have any experience with that? I also wanted to purchase an aero mesh grill and black offset racing stripes.

 

I've previously done a chrome blackout using black electrical tape for the belt line, and plasti-dip for everything else, including the grill. It looked good for awhile but didn't hold up to the weather that great, so I ended up re-chroming. I'd say sand and paint or vinyl wrap are the best long-term options.

I'm really happy with my Aero grille, picked it up from OutMotoring.com. I think AestheticCreations and MightyStripes are the two best known vendors for stripes.

 

Nice! Mine is a SOHO as well. I'm in BC but my car came from Ontario. I like the offset license plate, if mine wasn't permanently double-sided-taped I'd try it on mine. I'm afraid it'll never come off, though.

How are you liking the Magnaflow? I've got a Borla on the way, looking forward to it.

 

I really like the Magnaflow... it does have a little drone on the highway...but really only noticeable if you have the radio and ac off, Doesn't bother me at all. Sounds much better then stock... I also have the k&n typhoon intake which add a good grumble when you stomp on it.

Together they sound great!!

 

Nice.. do you notice any power increase with the exhaust? I've got the aFe intake, sounds pretty good

 

I think I will stick with chrome since it seems like a lot of work to do that. I will probably get an aero grill though.

 

Haven't really noticed any increase in power... maybe a little but hard to tell if it just the sound making it feel like more power. Where did you get your mini? My buddy works at Victoria BMW

 

I got my mini at a toyota lot, but I've had it at Victoriw BMW a few times for service and maintenance.. it's a great dealership, the service department has been really accommodating.

 

I almost bought my car at a Toyota dealer too.... strange....how can someone settle for a Toyota after driving a mini??.... haha, anyway kind of off topic now

 

I'm jealous of your HID headlights!!

 

 

Trying to revive an old thread with my 05 r50 from Florida!

 

Wow! These are great, guys! It really inspires me to put some creativity into my '05 MC. It's a commute car right now (125,000 miles) and it's got a new engine top-end due to a valve burn up, and new clutch and transmission, new steering pump and new fuel pump. Hopefully that will hold for awhile so I can put money into some fun stuff. I would really like to eventually upgrade the engine to an S, without the hood scoop, so it runs fast without looking like it.

 

If your name is Leo, then I'm impressed with your license plate! Cool.

 

My 2005.

It's really dirty

 

Wow VittorioS that's a real nice r50 ya got there, only mini I've liked the roof rack on. It's nice to have revived this thread after 3 years lol.
