Washed the MINI today...First pics.

MINI is a week old exactly now. Washed waxed clayed, etc today. Only a MINI could get me up early on my day off! I love it so far, and with all the twist and turns around my house lets just say I get home a lot faster than I ever did in my Jeep. Still learning stick but after the first few days it's gotten a lot easier. Here's some pics I took, think she looks pretty good!



Look at that shine!


Love my stripes. But my black grill is on the way. Neighbor has a JCW in the garage.




Now I just need some new wheels.

I see a MY MCS tucked away in one shot. Is that also yours, or a neighbors?

Looks great! Exactly the same as mine but yours isn't Mellow Yellow of course. Awesome car isn't it?

Am I the only one who really likes the chrome grill on the non-S??

I actually like the chrome as well. If i had a justacooper I'd go more of a classy, less racey look personally.

That would probably be his neighbor's JCW as mentioned.

Yeah, it's my neighbor's, though I think I've only seen it out of the garage twice! And as for the trim I used Mothers Back to Black. Thanks for the complements.

I noticed this as soon as I posted this pic. You were all right, it wasn't latched down. Thanks for the heads up though.

Only if you buy the aero kit. If not, it's still chrome.
