Just put coilovers in a few weeks ago....I think she's looking pretty good

 

Nice.. Very nice like the blue

 

Dark Silver does, too. Just a lighter, more metallic shade of blue.

 

I can feel your pain. My neighbor had a perfectly restored laser blue classic mini with similar wheels (which is what got me interested in the Rotas) that he had up for sale. I thought about selling a kidney to finance it, the car was that nice.

Came to my senses unfortunately and lost the sale. Still have both my kidneys though...

 

2011 Cooper S... just paid for the first tank of gas... about 400 miles on the odo. Pics are random... picked it up, started adding things almost daily, and its been a week at this point.
BBS 17" wheels, NM springs, Helix shift kit, MINI roof rack, and arriving tomorrow, 3.5" antenna, M7 SRP's, and an M7 hot side charge pipe.

the bottom image is the most recent...

 

Oh man, your BBS wheels are awesome! Perfectly lowered and the combo looks great. Nice car!

 

Are you selling the oem parts? I'm tryna think if it's better to wait till after breakin or just do it when all the stuff is new

 

Thanks!
I actually feel a tiny bit bored with the appearance of the car... love to drive it but it's not much to look at. I am thinking of chrome mirror caps and maybe a gray center stripe kit... down the road... I like all black but with all the chrome and no tint it sort of looks half way done. Thinking of tinting it, adding chrome mirror caps and calling it a day... if I'm still dying for it, maybe some stripes.

 

I sold my wheels and tires in 12 hours on CL, but my springs haven't sold and I'm asking $80.

I'd rather upgrade wheels when new to sell the old stuff, but the rest of your leftover parts will have little to no value.

 

Here are some pics of mine from the day after I brought it home. It was way too sunny, so not great quality but better than nothing for now...

 

how much did you get for your wheels?

 

 

Very Nice

Love the quote from the original Italian Job.

+1 for joo.

 

That's gorgeous.
I hope you've replaced the oem brake pads with some of those ceramic ones from autoxcooper. Keeping regular wheels clean with the oem pads is a pita, but white ones, that's masochistic !

 

Sketch- Nice! Changing up the look a little bit, huh?

 

I only posted one lousy photo of my car before. Here are a couple better pics.

 

Can't wait to see him all modded out! Glad he's finally home. BEAUTY!!

I really like this color combination. The white wheels look great and are a perfect fit. Very nice car!

 

What, there are brake pads that don't produce the "dirt" of the OEM ones? I had originally ordered my MINI with the Black Cone Spoke wheels just because of the brake dust issue, but it came with Silver Cone Spokes because the dealership missed "Black" on my build order printed from the MINI Config. They offered to change them out when I pointed the mistake out to them, but my wife liked the Silver much better. My order also included the 6 sp MT vs AT, in contrary to my wifes preference, so I figured sticking with the silver wheels kinda made up for the transmission not to her preference. I like the look of the silver wheels when they are clean, but keeping them clean is a constant battle.

 

Thanks a lot guys. I am super happy with how it is looking. Still need to add 6mm spacers in the rear and I should be good. Still want to do JCW side skirts and a few other bits to complete the chromeline & piano black retrofit I did in the interior.

@Nitro, I have just gotten in the habbit of hosing off the wheels every night or before a large drive. It gets old but few things compare to clean white wheels.

One more I really like:

 

From this:

That white mark in left corner is just dirt.



New rims.



(yep, need to wash)
lookin for some comments:D sorry me English btw :D

 

Sketch. I love your car! I want some white rims. ASAP
