LOL... some MCS owners just don't get it...

Not everyone wants the most speed.. some people are addicted to modding more than speed (or the cooper's looks, or arguably better handling)

>>Looks like 10 lbs of **** in a 5 lb bag. Toooo much. But it's your car, so if you like it, rock on.

I started going crazy with the mods, i figured I'd just keep going.
No offense dude, but the key to modding is knowing when to stop.

I love the head-on lighting.

I am amazed at the difference a set of driving lights makes. 4 must be like a WWII search lamp!

Very cool car

Nice job! You really put your heart and sole into your mini and it shows.

Don't mind the naysayers. Opinions are like *********s....everybody has one, and on the internet people will say things they wouldn't dare say to your face.

thanks for the encourgement. I hear enough slack from my friends (who own wrx's and jettas), so I'm used to it. I figure the neighsayers just want the attention their simple Mini's dont get

This is a real "look at me" car. One might think you need to get some other outside interests. It's a little over the top, but that's just me. I hope you are under 25.

That being said, I live in your general area...when you get ready to sell- let me know. This is a clear case of a car that wiill never be worth anywhere close to what you put into it, unfortunately.

I think it looks great! Where did you get the white "cooper stripes" on the side of the car? Are they decals?

thanks

cool
very heavily mods, it is like you ran out of space to mod your mini. Anyway, it is the coolest mini cooper I've ever seen, I like the front lip carbon fiber the most.

CoopingInDC,

No doubt about it, you have the most unique and wonderful BRG/W MC in the country and probably the world.
It's clear you are having some serious fun with your MINI. I think you've done a great job leading the way for the rest of us. #9! Cool. Paint the engine covers BRG! Drop a DINAN stage 2 kit in that MC or better yet, an M7 turbo kit.
