New to me R58, just blacked out the chrome. Couldn't be happier! Debating on blacking out the wheels 🤔

 

 

Tell us how did .

 

How I blacked out the chrome? I just used alot of masking and Plasti dip lol. Didn't know what I would like better so I wanted it to be removable, but I definitely like the black better. Turns out the matte finish matches really well with the other matte black trim like on the fenders. Not sure the route I'm going take for the wheels yet.

 

nice!

 

I’ve had to say goodbye to my most favorite Mini ever. Fortunately, someone in Austin has purchased it and will be rebuilding it for his brother. It was sad to see it go this way.

 

It's not even worth fixing.......

 

I found a 20 thousand mile gem I had to get... there is something about the Coupes I love...


Low mileage Coupe, all original and almost like brand new

 

Yeah sometimes I miss my 2014 JCW Coupe. The ride was a little harsh but it was plenty fast and handled like a go kart for sure! My new JCW is a lot more accommodating

 

Congrats! Looks great!

Are those wheels original? I thought they were Clubman-only from the factory.

 

Finally took delivery of this beauty. Learning more about Mini each day. She's a manual as well and quite a blast to drive!

 

Not mine, but saw it when I was getting tires and though you all might enjoy a rare Kite Blue Coupe as I did!

 

I finally got a nice enough day to clay bar, wax, and detail the interior.

 

Love It !!! Great interior very unique to have white seats and the white in the steering wheel ....hopefully I find my unicorn R58 soon !

 

I was enjoying the nice weather and cleaning the Coupe.

 

That looks like the same colour combo as mine.

 

She needs some costly maintenance, but little by little I'll have her up to date...

 

I had a 2014 JCW Coupe just like that. With the factory Recaro seats to boot. Sweet car sometimes I wish I still had it.

 

i dont think i will ever sell mine. Too rare.

 

Love my 2012 R58 6spd. Bought it used at Carmax in 2016 with about 38k miles on it. He's at about 75k now. I have gradually blacked out the chrome over time except the side scuttles which I can't seem to find any that I like in black, and the trim below the windows which I can't seem to find anything that will work. I love the blacked out taillights that I put in (not pictured). Have had virtually no issues with it so far, except the brake bleed valve on the passenger rear caliper wouldn't thread back in and had to get it towed to the dealer for new calipers. I plan on keeping it forever. I recently bought a new 2021 Chevy Silverado 1500 Duramax diesel and was worried I wouldn't drive my baby as much, but I feel like I love it more than ever, especially when it comes to parking it :P

Day of Purchase!



Had to put a front plate back on in Virginia

 

We dont have to have front plates in ohio anymore finally.

 

Smoke from active forest fires in northwestern Ontario has moved over southern Ontario. I noticed last evening that, although there were no clouds, the sun looked very hazy. I was at my MIL trimming shrubs last night, and took this shot (because I thought the haziness actually looked kind of cool - almost a sepia edge to it.)

 

Love Kite Blue...anyone with one to sell or knows of one please contact me. Thanks!

 

Kite Blue, one of my favorite colors to be sure. If you own this one or have one for sale...please contact me.

 

Got some Union Jack tail lights last week. The all red ones were just too normal for me so went with these ones Also blacked out the surrounds both front and back.
