I regret not getting the chrome package. The dealer later told me that I could have swapped out the chrome mirrors for white ones at no cost. Oh well.

Flame spokes are awesome BTW! The best factory installed MINI wheel for a non JCW car. (I love the challenge wheels)

Thanks I love them. I don't think they show up as well in pictures as say the web spokes but on the real car they look great. I looked and the chrome line front grill is only about $70 it just you have to take the front bumper off to install it which is a little scarry.

You now need to install some massive brakes to tuck under those massive wheels....

For the real wheels anyway... I just noticed that it looks like you have some larger brakes upfront.

Well, I've officially 'youified' my mini .. he's now almost as dorky as I am.





My friends told me it's even more of a toy now, haha. I also had my buddy extend my stripes down the bumpers.





All that work for 20 bucks! Hell, the tint job only cost me 100. Hooray for being friends with the owner of the local tint/vinyl shop! And yeah.. it's filthy. It's gonna rain and possibly snow tuesday though, so I'm just not feeling energetic enough to do a full wash this weekend.

They look great! I have to admit, I'm not much on the "black out" theme in general, but your color scheme looks absolutely stunning, Very nice!

New glamor shot from a few weeks ago. I know she's a little dirty, but it was an impromptu trip.

Looks great! I think it would look really cool if you could find matte stripes that coordinate with the matte trim.

minigz-i like em, but i think they'd look better if they were wider =]

maaij - nice ds/b! we got a similar look going on, but i threw in the extra red accents

dah-veed- my ds/b woulda looked like yours basically if i had gotten the webspokes i ordered- but they messed up my order and i ended up with free jcw r105s =p very nice still- since you're doing some black out, have you thought about taking off the outer piece to your webspokes and painting that black? that would leave you with a polished lip look and a black face of the rim...! =]

heres some shots of mine recently
...getting lowered this week im pretty sure =]
tow hook is now also gone















what i would like her stance to be (with wider tires and maybe spacers in there)


for the photographers =p






and, stripes to be finished all the way down soon too =]

Yah thanks for the comments guys !

And i am looking for wider and mate stripes , i remember that there was talk about a site or store that had them for really cheap . If anyone knows of that site let me know .......


BostonR56S-
really like the whole color scheme ! ..... continuing the stripes is going to make it look even better.
