Hmmmm....how'd I miss this thread? Oh well. Here's my baby:
An '06 JCW plus aero kit and some carbon fiber here and there. I also blacked out the headlight trim rings, removed the Mini emblem from the front, removed the CooperS from the rear, replaced the side grills with "justa" grills painted body color and peeled the chrome off the door handles and had them painted body color as well.

Thanks. The car has vmaxx coilovers ($700) and 8mm spacers up front to clear the coils.

My 05 topless Mini Cooper S Mr Bean style. I picked her up about a month ago gray and since have painted Mr Bean green, custom painted the hood and cartoons all around the car, painted wheels, calipers and some other little fun things here and there, put on 16mm wheel spacers. I'm going to be doing more fun stuff to the Beanmobile in time. It's really wicked fun to drive

Your link is broken - for some reason, the NAM software keeps inserting a space in front of the asterisk in the web address. If you paste the address into your browser and remove the extra space, it works. (To everyone else - it's worth the effort, because it's a beautiful car AND a beautiful picture!)

hi thanks for your reply and nice comment
I had already replaced the broken photolink with another picture as I also couldn't get the first one to work.
But here's the link to the first picture for those interested:

(let's hope the link now works)
and here is another picture
I didn't make these pictures myself ... a friend of mine (Wim) is a photographer as well as a Mini driver. His passion is making really great pictures, and as you can see, i'm benefitting , being the subject of the photo's :-)

Picked this up in early November. It is an '05 with only 18k miles. Thanks to the info on NAM, I have done the radiator fan resistor swap (precautionary) and replaced a leaking thermostat. The car appears to be completely stock but we know that won't last!
