Quiet Flight

A few iPhone pics after my new wheels (bought in the Market here, thanks ccurl for the sweet deal)... will be doing 1.5" drop soon and doing a total black-out/carbon on all chrome. My Mini is named after the best surf shop on the east coast in Cocoa Beach, Ron Jon's is a tourist trap.

Cool Clubbie!

I made an image for you so you can picture how it will look with the 2.5" lowering spring kit...

Traded the manual DS/B 07 Cooper S for a new MCCa. My wife wasn't going for the manual trans. and we needed something a bit bigger that she could drive part time. I drive 115 miles round trip to work and wanted to stop heaping all those miles on the MINI. That's what the Maxima is for!

I sorely miss that turbo but as often as my previous car was in the shop...maybe it was meant to be.

Just got the windows tinted this afternoon and I think I will be removing the Union Jack mirror covers and going with black.

Outside of that it might have to get a stereo upgrade and we should be all set!

Haven't done much of anything but enjoy it since I got it. So it is still pretty much very stock.

Here's my 2010 Midnight Black Metallic Clubman S Auto when I picked it up


And then with 30% ceramic tint, my custom painted R53 wheels with 2010 OEM TPMS sensors



And then with painted calipers and rotor hats




And most recently lowered on H&R Street Performance Coilovers, Ireland Engineering (IE) adjustable sway bar, control arms, fixed camber plates.


After a couples days of settling, this is how it looks now. The evolution continues. Got some blacking out and red accents to do still.


Latest Updates as of 7/30/10
In the bodyshop repairing barn door chip that happened during delivery..so more changes planned after it comes back. For now, these were taken before it went in for painting.

Lowered on H&R Street Performance coilovers and camber adjusted with IE control arms at the rear, and fixed camber plates at the front (their adjustable camber plates were out of stock at the time)









Next photos will show blacked out chrome, Vortex 2 carbon fiber scoop, more red accents, JCW wheel with paddle shifter mod.

No Vortex2, just Ram 2....

Vortex looks like muscle car stuff, too much for my liking... Than again, Ram 2 is perfect!

Nice! I had one on my R53. Well guess we'll see how different it looks with the Vortex 2, ...in a few days!
