NiCE front license plate!?

is this a real one? good size!

 

You bet it's real...it's Miniman_a's car....

He has just successfully completed the East Coast Targa a month or so ago in it (East Coast of Australia that is, around Sydney and Bathurst)....

That's a New South Wales (incl. Sydney) numberplate by the way...

 

It's not our only product with the two tone gray look:



And:



Ya want to fly below the radar, and just get the job done . . . DS combos may be the way to go! Not cute, but functional. Great lookin' MINIs, no doubt.

 

did anyone else notice that the guy that started this thread has a sn involving a red and white cooper????

(i dont mean offense, just found it entertaining)

 

You're right it isn't. That's too bad.

 

doesnt everyone else think that the ds and all the others are over done. besides indi blue is the coolest and ya'll know it

 

was my first cooper, i have since moved on

 

Oh...I know....Australia has invested in the JSF program...

 

=0)

 

i've got a slim-line numberplate as well, but it's plastic (polyurethane) and black...here's miniman_a and I before he got the JCW checkers down the sides...

 

-Big...subtle...differences

 

Yes...visually subtle.....

but

His is a JCW plus some other rally/race prep....a rollcage is about to go in, his back seats are removed and a spare wheel is strapped down in it's place....I wouldn't be surprised if the car became a dedicated track/rally mule in the near future...to make way for another mini of course!!

 

this i've been dreamin' of wish i could have another meself!!

 

Oh yes...I don't know how often I see mini's for sale and try dream up ways I could manage it...

Then I snap back into reality...

 

 

Is it an optical illusion or are Tit's wheels bigger diameter than the car behind (in post #110)? If not, then it seems as if painting the wheel well arches body color make the wheels look smaller. I prefer the look of the front car myself.


cheers.

 

Kalbone's car looks cool--except for the white roof, which I have never understood personally. Whatever, I love the inverse treatment with the white stripe on the dark silver and the dark stripe on the white roof--very graphic arts. How did you get so many DS/W minis in the same place, hanging out with a blue one...?

lookin' good,
cheers,

 

yea & we all know reality sux

 

Mine is the car behind....

I like the look of the R90's....they do look bigger on miniman_a's car. I'm still working on what wheels to put on....the S-lites a doing a good job of keeping the chassis off the ground for now....

(by the way...how cool is this smiley: )

DS/W never seemed quite right to me either, but Kalbone's car looks cool with the White stripe down the front....

I've been dreaming of two black stripes just like Tuls' - angled inwards slightly, wider than normal (6inch) and rrrrright down to the bottom at both ends of the car.....not sure how it would look though...I've tried photochopping, but it always comes out looking strange.....

anyone want to have a go at photochopping for me...??

 

VeRY....

 

My try at it

 

Just as good in Black and white or color DS all the way

 

Just trying to decide between a JCW bolt in, or get a custom welded in one.

Like this ...............................

 

here goes

Thanks for all the great pics guys and gals!


My little ds/ds car is still on the freakin' boat... I think they got lost or something. Originally it was supposed to dock yesterday, my MA says Friday and the Charleston web site says tomorrow. I'm getting bummed out man.
