yes sir. Just a small turbo. going for balance

 

Whoa! Are those stock fender flares? What is the offset of those rims?
That it the look I want.

Glad to finally see that thing done Chase!

 

What park/turn signal lenses are on your mini?

 

No these are not stock flares. THese are the old MHW flares that were discontinued a while back. I think there is a company in europe that has made some new ones very similar though.
The wheels are 16x9 et13



And Thanks Dicks Garage---always making changes though haha. Still finished some suspension stuff and other little bits. Hopefully at the track this summer

So you basically fit these fog lamps where your park/turn signals used to be??

 

Yep! Direct replacement. You'll need Stealth Bulbs to get the same look.
They are turn signals not fog lamps.

 

I'm confused. The auction you posted states fog lamps.

 

That is a typo on their part. Look under the pic I have posted without going to the site you'll see:
2002-2008 MINI COOPER R50 R53 S LED FRONT BUMPER INDICATOR HALO RIMS LIGHT LAMP. It is also on the site. (Note that they are smoked not clear as mine are.) Believe me you will not get a full set of Fog lights for a Mini that cheap. (Not quality Fog Light)

 

I really dig your theme. Reminds me of Tron Legacy.

A little de-chromed pepper-white love

 

What method did you use to black out the door handles?

 

spray paint. Though I need to re-do them due to a crappy job the first time.

 

Thank you! its funny you say that, i never really realized it til one day i started painting my computer case with the same colors and thus this was born lol

 

Nice theme. Perhaps you might look into a light clear coat of incandescent paint (reflective) on the green to really get the Tron look at night. If you keep it light you shouldn't see much of a change during the day. Just a thought.

 

Great seats!

 

I want to refinish my Hamanns to look like that!

 

Those were a two stage process called " black chrome " at my local Powder Coating shop. The also polished the lips for me .

I'm actually thinking of selling that set I hardly ever use them any more .

Errr "Snap!!" kinda…

 

Here is what my 03' JCW MINI looked like when I got it a few years ago.



Since then I've gone through it and replaced all of the bushings and motor/trans mounts with poly mounts, put on a set of KONI FSD shocks, installed a 17% pulley, upgraded the stereo system in it, added some stripes, and plastidiped the wheels and a few other parts. Other than that, I've left it alone. Since it's got the JCW kit on it, it came with a good exhaust and intake.

I tell myself I'm not going to do anything else to it...but we'll see

 

Nice job, guy. I like.

Are the wheels Plasti-Dipped, too?

 

Yep, plasti-dipped the wheels. That stuff holds up really well...I'm impressed!
