Wife's hot pink R50 coming out of body shop

The 6 stage hot pink mini is coming out of the shop tomorrow. These pics were just sent over by the body shop.. front pic doesnt have the grill installed yet. Its a hot pink metallic with rainbow flakes. As far as Im told it should be the only on on the West Coast.

Very interesting, I'm sure it will attract a lot of attention, but I think I will pass, have fun!

What's cool is it's a MINI and it's different. Oh wait, that's redundant...

Looks great! We have a pink S in our local club. The Cordoba beige is a good accent as well!

That's sweet!

I would definitely rock that, only I'd prefer black accents. Black roof, black wheels w/ a polished lip.

Definitely a nice choice in color though my friend.

whole thing including painting the wheels, roof, wing, double out exhaust cut out etc.. painting the car, arches etc.. was about $8000

Paint is dupont and flakes is House of Kolor. The paint process was a 6 stage too about 4 months to do.

This is not including the parts.. which came out to another $4000.

I just had to comment... I'm also from the bay so hopefully I'll see it with my own eyes one of these days, but I was on facebook and my friend actually took pictures of your MINI and added it to his profile because of how cool it looks. I have to agree
I'm in Foster City too!
