It is a matter of preferance. I didnt want to draw attention to my control arms, I thought the bright alluminum was out of place in the under carriage especially since I plan to paint the muffler, but I can see why some would like them as is

For some reason, I'm only seeing a graphic, and not a pic of DVLMINI's car... but I would say more than painting the control arms... LOWER THE CAR FIRST !!! Once lowered, not only does it look much more "MINI", the control arms are hardly visible.

Sorry . I wasn't quite getting it, especially when someone was suggesting you paint the control arms and such... I get it now: You were responding to someone else's comments towards another vehicle... not the pic you posted. My bad.

Ive been dying to post this for ages but ive had trouble signing up i can finally post

Anyway, to answer, ive found the pw to vary in different light. In winter for example it appears to be a creamy type of colour and sometimes at night depending on the light. I just wanted to post some examples of my mini.


My mini at night is quite beige but these ones taken in sunshine is a lot more whiter, close to pure white i would say




Ive since had the rear windows done in limo black tint and it looks a lot nicer

Gabe, Looks like your press car was like my new one except for the rear fogs and wheels. My only option is sport suspension. You reported why I love this car so accurately in White Roof 156, Thanks!

Also courtesy of Killboy:





My former MINIs were an 02 S (June build), an 04 S JCW, and an 06 JustaCooper. I like driving this one the best. Keep up the good work!

Norm,

Toby looks great. Like those new wheels. One question, what happened to the old ones? You ditched them awfully quick, but your loss is my gain.

I sold them so some lucky s.o.b. in Portland! Hope you like them!

The dealer hasn't given me a tracking number (or even a shipper name) yet. I will get it on Monday.

I hope they don't go up that far. Otherwise, it will be another 400-mile trip up there to get them.

Thanks for getting them out so quick. Glad you were able to get out of Torrance without getting mugged by a bunch of Hondas.

It depends upon your definition of "near." Bandon is about 85 miles west of me. I'm in Roseburg.
