Yeah! They were too heavy and the ride was **%#$&(*&!

A mate here bought them off me for $100 less than I paid....not such a bad deal...

They looked DAMN sweet though....

oh well...

I'll keep an eye out around Bala Cynwyd for a minitothemaxmobile. Just saw another one last week in San Francisco that helped to confirm my decision. Actually, I saw 12 Mini's in Noe Valley in less than an hour. Ds/ds
rocks!

kyriian,
since this pic. i have painted the grille behind the M7 grille and like it much better....... its all blacked out behind there now, i miss it sumtimes ......its like i have taken that 'bmw' trademark look off of it
u gettin' the whole front done in M7? (all three pieces )
i got the lower one for awhile now, i was on the fence about the black M7 middle/upper grille for awhile, but decided to just do it... before i wanted that chrome trim around it, but now ill just do it and see where it goes, i dont like it i can always take the oem grille apart and see if i can squeeze the m7 grille into it and trim the excess...

i thought i would do the same but since the chrome grill trim is not metal i went w/the black out 'l00k'
i run a stainless steel insert in the rear from minisport.com, minimania sells them as well, it goes well w/the milltek tips, but i might replace it for the M7 rears, later. still on the fence meself =0)

You see, JustinO and I do all our mini work in his garage. So...when he gets his grilles in, and we install his and mine, then we will have a barage of photos for this thread...

We're pushing for page 12.

Update

A little update on my DS/B 05 MCS. You can still see the rear wiper in this photo, which is now gone, for a nice clean (double entendre) look!



cheers,

FYI - I was DeMini, now i'm Minsian
Which Means...Mini S (my Car) Ian (my name)
I think it's Navaho.

Anyway...

Gandini, your car is a source of inspiration for mine, I got the beltline blackout idea from your website and your car is my desktop picture at work...Don't worry, i'm not typing this from the bushes staring at your car, I just love the way it ties everything together!

That being said...What does happen when it rains?
