R56 Official: Before and After Picture Thread
I hate you all!!! (Not really) Great looking MODs no matter how mild or wild. I was just going to keep my MINI as a daily driver ONLY (No MODS) but I've already added the S gas cap, aux input, MINIFini cup holders, and Craven plates. Most have pics in my gallery. Now I am already looking for new wheels. I really like the Rota RBs on DanQs MC and the red spokes on Spdu's MCS.
Well so much for sitting at the computer - I'm going outside to clean the MINI then go for a drive!!!!

Tacky.
I sure hope MINIUSA, Hawk, Goodyear, Schroth, TX SpeedWorks, Sunoco and NAM are all paying you for free advertising, Contingency fees at racing events or are giving you some kind of sponsorship deal. 'Cause that's usually the way it works. Stickers and Decals go on when money, prizes or work is exchanged. Otherwise, it's Rice. Like the typical Honda with AEM and Skunk2 stickers all over their riced out Civics.
This is probably a silly question, but Spdu4ia where did you get the little red arrow decals on top of the towhooks? I would like to do that in red or yellow...
Great color scheme btw, you especially dont see red rims very much, they add SO much to your mini! And dont worry about what others say about your Mini, its what you like, and I think it looks amazing!!!! I dont see a ricer here....
Sin Mini i've seen your Mini at Trader Joe's in Henderson!!!
Looked soo nice!!
Heres pics of Coop before and after...

blacking out chrome, stubby, stripes, joey mods, etc = ricer?
no need to put down someone's MINI.
although i wouldnt do it to my car, i actually really like how it looks.

Spdu4ia, I love the way your MINI looks whether it is used for racing or not. Sponsored or not. When I raced RC trucks we had all kinds of stickers and logos plastered on the bodies and I doubt much of anyone had any kind of sponsorship from any of the vendors who's stickers we used.
I personally think that it is very difficult to "rice" a MINI seeing as it is a British car. "Tea and Crumpets" maybe but rice, NO.
There's some pics of a golden brown MINI floating around NAM. That took a lot of work to get to the "rice" stage but that is just my opinion.

One of the staples of MINI is bonnet stripes. I believe they would qualify as decorations...but I would not call them rice.
Same thing with blacked out chrome, stubby antenna, etc. as others have mentioned.

I agree. Obviously a lot of thought put into it, and it's very well executed. All it needs is a nice drop.
