Lucyl,

So very cool. Enjoy the ride. Are you the last from the Titus to pick up your MINI?

Nice passenger, swag or from the MINI store at your dealer?

Your MINI is great, I thing the R99s and all the black out are super. Let us know how it does up at MINI United.

Pictures please in a new thread.

Enjoy the drive over and up.

Thanks! I think I am the last one from Titus.

The passenger is a swag from my MA.

 

Well, it's been two months since I bought my '07 MCS, and I finally got around to washing it (first time since I bought it). I figured it was a good time to take some pictures...I drove it up to an overlook on Mulholland Blvd. in Los Angeles. I'll take some more artsy pictures when I get them time.

 

DSG_VA. you are definitley looking alot like I would like to. are the head and tail light surrounds wrapped in vinyl?

 

+1 Looks very sharp.

 

hey joshrtek, how long did it take to get your mini? and from where?

 

Is this the JCW steering wheel?

 

Yup with alcantara! :-)

 

Looking at it the alcantara is not where I grip the wheel!

And not to take the charm away but alcantara is the european brand name for what we call "ultra-suede" in the US. Yup, is and always has been. That said, its good stuff.

 

yes, are vinyl for front trim ring and chrome part of grill, for rear tail light, side marker and all cover insert aluminiun i used a normal electrical adhesive tape matt black....

FAb

 

yes, is JCW alcantara/leder.... more expensive but very exciting.....

 

I bought it off the lot at Long Beach Mini in Signal Hill, CA. I was going to custom order one, but this one, one the lot, was everything I had already configured (minus the steering wheel controls, which I was okay with ditching and saving a few hundred).

About 1300 miles on it and it's a blast!

 

 

cool looking r56 hattat , which exhaust do you have by the way?

 

It's in his sig. "SuperSprint Turbo Back"

 

Exactly as rattmobbins said

 

Hattat, beautiful car, and I'll have to get the blackened trim around the front grill for mine, looks great on Dark Silver.

 

Hattat, the car looks really great! How's the ride quality on those 18's? Any plans to lower the car?

 

Not much difference in the ride quality but I`m very careful while driving because of the low profile tires. I don`t want to damge the wheels because of a pothole.

I will lower the car. I`m expecting H&R coilovers to arrive next week. I will post pictures and ride report after I`ll install them.

 

do you plan on doing it yourself?
