Unless he has an aftermarket decal, that's the flash. Although it would be really cool if we could get one that lights up.

it is indeed just a reflection. I was not aware the red was reflective or maybe its just a freak coincidence of the light hitting it the right way

Now that is a hell of an idea... replace the stock piece that combines the S and side marker into one piece that lights up...

Anybody else think that would be sweet?

+1

How about having a side gill that the M3 or M5 has, so that hot air could escape in that area and also have the "S" light up

sarafil - sorry to hear about the first R56 getting totaled...hope your alright. which dealer did you get the second from? it looks like the one from around me - habberstad mini - but i guess all of them would potentially look identical, right?

serves a different purpose... I think they're both fantastic cars. Over the years we have owned 3 different E46's ('99, '00 and '02) and currently have an E90 325xi. I'm a huge 3-series fan (have had at least one of each generation, from E21 up through E90) and I think that they are great. The MINI ranks higher in terms of "fun" factor, while it gives up something in terms of utility. I think the two are very similar in lots of aspects, and I think it's great to be able to have both if possible!

Hi Flaco! Good looking splitter...

My vinyl showed up last week and did the headlights, a bit challenging but turned out great.

Your car keeps getting better and better....

that is why our MINI is red, and why despite the fact I think BRG is a cool color I would never get a green car.
