MCO member miniqueen just sent me this picture of her new MINI.

For those that don't know miniqueeen is Lori Abrams at Westchester MINI in Elmsford NY. I bought my dark silver MINI from her and flew out to pick it up and drive it back.

That looks sweet. A supercharged version of Nigel Poweres' car.

Hmmm....I dunno. Too busy for my tastes..and the angle the shot was taken makes it look like the pieces don't line up.

Sprog, can you do it better?

I like it but I wouldn't want it on mine. It's a bit too much for my taste - but it's nice to see individuality

Westchester MINI is where I got my car, I remember when Lori sold her old cooper. That was a nice one as well but this tops it for sure.

WOW! How about that IB MINI! IB looks great in the sunshine! and the UJ is really big! Yes, it's over the top but it's really great!

Is this painted on? and does anyone know what is would cost? Not that I'd want a huge UJ on my MINI but it's nice to know estimate of cost in the event it grabs me!

It's a whole graphic kit. It took 9 hours to install. I had it shipped over from the UK.

That is definatly the coolest MINI out there. I love it...that's orange and blue right? Two of my fav colors...but heck I think I get noticed every where as it is, if I had that, there would be every head turned. You have to tell us what people say, do to you on the road.

I LOVE IT! That's pretty friggin cool. Also the all around Indi Blue really rocks. Classy. Not sure whether it's the sun, camera, or what, but is it supossed to be orange? I'd probably like it to be more red though. But if I were to do that, and trust me I would if I had the Indi blue, I'd have it painted on, instead of the decals. But still, lookin' grrreat. I bet it looks better in person. Anymore pics that someone takes of that, please post them, or PM me to email them to me. All that's left is the Austin custom License plate.

I just noticed this: the mirrors were painted blue too Subtle, but very very nice.

Also, it looks like the car has a lapis interior with NAV (dual gage pod)
