You never fail to impress with your mods wetceal. Those are the hottest wheels I've ever seen...what did you do with the others? For sale?

 

Nice I really like your take with that front bumper
I'm guessing you are a fan of the audi front ends? Thats what it reminds me of, which, IMO, is awesome

 

Just picked mine up on Wednesday night. Already put 1000 miles on it.

 

yeah that's a pretty wild looking wheel, it's hard to tell what's actually the "wheel" and what's the "lug cover". Is the blue spokes a part of the wheel or the cover?

 

love the inside!!!!

i think it could use a little more orange on the inside. you could make all the grey pieces around the vents, speakers and gages orange to go with the door handle and glove box button.

just a thought but your MINI looks great now also

 

nicoleNY,

Where did you get your driving light mounts?

 

Hey SilverRocket,
It looks sweet. Blackjack rode the Integrity with you. Wow you have been doing some motoring since Wednesday. I have had Blackjack since Monday night and only have 465 mls. I thought that was a lot. Are you going to change the oil anytime soon. I am still debating. Dealer said they replaced the oil when they prepped the car. Are those OEM wheels? What kind of rubber are you riding on. Sorry for so many questions. Love the car!

 

very nice looking seats.
Recaro Sportster CS seats?

 

The idea was to get it past break in before I have to go back to work on Monday. I did about 850 miles on Thursday, so that got me most of the way there. Only have 98 miles left to put on it tomorrow.

I'm planning to change the oil either tomorrow or Monday night weather permitting (no garage for me unfortunately) to get any break in related metal shavings / particles out of the system.

The wheels are 16 x 7 OZ Ultraleggeras in Graphite Satin Silver and the tires are 205/50/16 Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Specs.

No problem on the questions and thanks for the compliment, Blackjack looks damn hot as well !

Man, that looks HOT!!!! Another fine addition to the Astro Black family. The checkered roof looks great, too.

Just installed beltline blackout, grill magnetic badge holders (badges still haven't shipped ), and pulled the scoop grill.

 

Thanks! As for the other wheels...we haven't really decided. We did talk about putting them up for sale. They are in pretty good shape but the tires will probably need to be replaced soon. I think there's a scuff on one of the rims but that's probably it. I'll need to go over them closely and take some pictures of them if we decided to sell them.

PM me if you might be interested. They're OZ Ultraleggeras 18x7

Thanks,
Celia

 

There's a black cover in the center that's about 5 inches long in diameter (with the small Konig symbol in the middle). That's the hub/lug area cover. The blue pieces are all individual pieces that attach to the hub cover with screws and the wheel spokes with double sided tape.

I'll take some better photos of them. I really love the look on these new wheels because it's so open and you can see the calipers and rotors so nicely.

Thanks,
Celia

 

Thanks for the suggestion! There's actually a little more orange than what shows up in the photo. All the stitching is orange on the steering wheel and shift/e-brake boots. Also, there's an orange "S" on the door sills too.

If the grey/silver rings around the vents/speakers, gauges, etc. were individual pieces that could easily be removed and painted, I would consider doing something with them. Unfortunately though, a lot of those pieces are embedded in their surroundings and painting them would require meticulous taping off so we decided to leave them as is.

yea that would be a lot of work to do those, wasn't sure if you could get them out or not.<p>
either was it still looks awesome!!

 

Here we go. James is about 3 weeks old now and has had his grille trim replaced with the JCW trim. I also tinted him and added a cute turbo badge to his rear. Enjoy!









He is filthy right now, but I couldn't wait to take pics.

 

here's mine, clean and simple (PW with 16" wheels)

 

Is the JCW grille trim easy to do?? love your color combo!!

 

yes very easy it takes about 10 minutes to change. the bottom piece will pull out and the top piece is held in by 3 or 4 screws.

 

just picked up mines finally ... couple hrs ago

 

VERY nice! Another Astro Black fan!!!

What did you do with the interior? Looks nice from what I can see. You should post a few pics of it.

Congratulations on your new purchase. Any name for it yet????

 

thanks "dhoosee" for your kind words, here is a shot of the interior

 

Looks Great... Awesome combination.

Congrats
