Beautiful MINI. I've never seen such a maze of wires suspended by poles in my 65 years on this planet.

Thank you and that would be lovely Newark NJ. Thank goodness I am not a resident and was just visiting.

Here's my Mario; Paul Smith-ed. :)

Had always fancied the Paul Smith mini, especially since I saw it in the flesh @ Hilton Hotel (Singapore) a few weeks ago. Been thinking about changing Mario's look ever since with that inspiration..

And finally, I decided to christen Mario with the signature Paul Smith roof wrap.
This new look certainly freshened up his looks! May be considering a change of bonnet stripes as they don't seem to really match the roof now.. Hmmm... :-\

Anyway, here's some photos to share with you all MINI-sters! Enjoy!!

Waiting patiently to be attended to..




Commencing the removal of the tinted film..


All removed, finally.. :D


Being Paul Smith-ed now..




And the end result.. ;D



After giving Mario a bath when I got home shortly


Apologies for the bad quality photos as all these were taken @ night with not-so-good lighting.
Shall attempt to take some shots of Mario tomorrow when I bring him out!!

I've had this '09 JCW for about a month. I've had plenty of cool cars and this one ranks as one of the most fun as a daily driver for sure.

Thanks! This was one of my sixth or seventh favorite colors that Mini offers. This is the toughest part about ordering a Mini, all the color options.
