Thanks a lot Adam.
It is all done with PlastiDip under the original purpose of protection. I found some rock chips in the lower bumper area and on the main center area. I chose to PlastiDip them to clean it up and ended up really liking the result.

Tips for others:
If anyone plans to do this tape it off and remove the tape while the PlastiDip is wet otherwise it bonds the tape to the bumper and rips. For extra coats just retape and remove once wet again. I did one very heavy coat and two thinner coats. The first coat was so heavy it started to run and i had to use a credit card to keep the lines not filled in. Dont be afraid to smudge the plasti totally off to remove problem areas, two coats of plasti are thick enough to fill in all the spots.

 

I would so love to get one of those turbo diesel bonnets for my S, I think it looks so much better without the fake scoop.
That is one sexy Cooper D !

 

Lyles actually makes one but it's for the JCW or so it say's here's the pic they have on their site for it....... I'm sure that you could use it for any model if you want to. The PlastiDip does sound like a good idea though..... hmmmmm PlastiDip your whole car????? lol jk.

 

I really like the bumper look on the Pepper White. It reminded me of a Lancer Evo, or a Nissan GT-R. Very cool, and different.

 

It's the Aero wing. Stock Cooper D has no wing

tmo8462: I'm sure Lyles would have a solution for the S-bumpers as well

 

Thanks I'm sure they would be able to accommodate anything I wanted to get done.

 

updated pic. got new wheels and tires. Bye bye runflats (hope i dont get a flat)

 

I love the type M's.... if they weren't double the price of my Feather's I definitely would have them.

did your OEM lug bolts fit in those Tenzo's?

and I'm going to get picky now pillar....I want another picture but in the sun this time!

 

Just washed Inara - first of the spring.

 

got mine for just under 800 shipped... pm if you want details. all i got is my cellphone... sorry for the bad pics. I love gun metal. I was trying to get a color similar to the older acura TL type S oem wheels.




and yes oem lug bolts will fit. i love how they are black!

thanks for the pics of those type M's - looking good!

 

version 1, in charcoal grey

 

what I like to call my R53.6

 

Nice. I see now why this is an R56 only thread. So we won't be constantly reminded that the R53 looks better.

I would not have thought to put white rims* on an all black car but that looks really sweet.

*or are they silver?

 

I love the matte black stripes on that R53. And yeah, every time I see an R53 I wish I would have bought one rather than my R56.

 

Nice custom job on the r56 JCW aero sideskirts

 

My R56 from Hong Kong...

 

They are my silver winter rims...

And I love both the R53 and R56 that's why I put on the R56 JCW skirts

Cheers

 

That is too kool! Have you posted up more details on how you made some of those mods someplace? Would love to see how you did those skirts! (And I am sure others would too!)

 

And the mods keep coming. Added the M7 Vortex 2 hood scoop in CF as well as a grill badge holder. I am displaying the MINI 50 logo on the grill badge.

 

Here's mine...Can't see the NM Exhaust in this pic.

 

Oh K that seals it. I need another Laser Blue MINI!!!!!!

 

 

Hope they upload
