Tinting really changes the whole look of the car. Foxy has developed a little of an attitude since she got 15% tint. She definitely gets checked out more by the boys. And yes...I need new wheels. I am still trying to decide if I want to paint my s-lites black or go with another wheel altogether.

These aren't the best pics. My front windows are down which kills the effect of the tint.

 

My goodness, that is beautiful!!

 

I agree Gil-galad, definitely sweet looking mini!

 

Beautiful but lethal! Wow that classic is nice. In a tube-frame chassis, pit bull sort of way. Without lipstick.

 

The turbos not on there yet...
Thanks guys

[quote=wandrur;2510397A good point about the lethality (holy crap...that's actually a word!).

I like mean looking cute things. Like beautiful, dangerous women. [/quote]


Heh heh heh...I'd like to think IIIII resemble THAT remark!!

 

There have got to me more people that own some badass looking R56s

 

If it's open to R53's, I'd have to throw mine in there, it has a subtle yet mean look to it these days.

 

Your car is the sickest R53 i've ever seen!!! But I have to say, this thread is clearly for R56s... lets keep it R56 only

 

MidniteCoop, hope you are dumping that pic in the calendar contest. Excellent!

 

DEFINITELY a MEAN lookin' car!! (But they're right...it would make all us R56-ers a little jealous if we included R53s if they looked like yours!....)

 

What's next, a search for the meanest panda?

 

If you insist...

 

I just can't see mean in any MINI... I see mean in the new Dodge Challenger SRT10 and other assorted Muscleman Cars, but not MINI.

It's why I got it. Who's gonna see Speedy Gonzalez in a MINI (if you don't know MINI), or guess it could carve a curve faster than pretty much any normal car on the road? I got a lot of crap for my car at my work (big manly man job, ugh), but a test drive for a few changed the minds of most. It ain't mean, though.

 

 

Boy I love checking on this thread. I don't have an MCS to share BUT I will lurk. Keep 'em coming.

 

 

Minis are whatever the owner makes it! They can definitely be mean!

 

give me till after winter and my r56 will be what your looking for in the "mean" category, cause thats all i am going for with my 09 MCS

 

I think its hard to find a Mean MINI as well, maybe a little attitude but these cars are just too much fun to be mean

AB rules, my friend, AB rules!

 

IMHO the best mod to make an R56 look better (which also makes it a little meaner) is to BLACK OUT THAT BELTLINE! It visually lowers the whole center line of the car. While it may be a little too stealth for some AB owners, it looks fantastic on the lighter colors, especially red.

If you want to get a $ 3.50 idea of what it looks like, head over to your local hardware store and pick up a roll of Scotch 33+ electrical tape (yes, be brand and type-specific). The 33+ is more temperature tolerant and doesn't leave nasty black smudge marks. Apply it withOUT stretching it much, carefully cut the ends, and you're done. Should take about 15 minutes. It's completely reversible, and the tape maintains a low-gloss finish a lo-ong time (I used it as trim on an older VW Cabrio and it lasted darned near forever, and was still removeable).

If, based on your $3.50 spend, you find you really like it and don't completely trust the Scotch 33+, grab a beltline blackout kit in real vinyl from one of the NAM approved vendors!

GO - NOW - time's a wasting!

 

I'm going all black. Get delivery Monday coming!

 

I like to think mine looks mean at times, although it may be more "sporty"




It definitely gets meaner at night


and it might get meaner once I get these Eyes on it
