Nope, just Duplicolor ceramic brake caliper paint from O'reilly's. While I had each wheel off I cleaned them up real nice, masked off everything nice so no rubber, pads, discs, or openings got any paint on them. I sprayed around them, but wasn't to concerned with the back side that you don't see. As soon as i got the 3rd coat sprayed i mounted he wheel and moved on to the next. They could dry with the wheels on since i wasnt driving it for a while. Took about 4hrs this way. Would probably take 1/4 the time if you had a lift to do them all at the same time.

 

Was in the 40's today. Most of the pavement outside of town was dry so I went for a little spin. These tires are great! Ride smooth and stick very well.

 

The new wheels look great, makaveliks. Hopefully, spring is right around the corner.

 

Nice top down shots.

 

Those wheels look mammoth!

Just needs to be dropped now.....sits way too high IMO.

 

I haven't posted any photos in awhile...I hope this works.

 

Gotta love those Justa-Roadsters.

 

 

Very Coco Chanel

 

Very nice.

 

Thank you...I did get my AFE Dry Filter from ECS Tuning.

 

Took the silencer out...it is blue because it was cheap...around $33 through Amazon.

 

That blue would nearly match my car....

 

Clever, very clever. I love the striping on the car.

 

I have posted this elsewhere here to show off the hood scoop, but I like it so much I wanted to add it to the Photos thread as well. This shot is a pure accident of lighting, I haven't edited it, it's not Instagram-filtered, it's just how it came out of my phone (Nexus 5, not known for having the greatest camera going).

 

To a FJCW R59 but gotta stick with the BRG II

 

Very nice!

Just curious.....why did you switch and not get the fJCW R57?

 

"Bader" as in Douglas "Reach for the Sky" Bader? If so, that is still one of my favourite WWII movies, and he is a British hero, even if everyone thinks he's Kenneth More, the actor who played him.

Whether or not, congratulations on a nice looking car!

 

Your Roadster look fantastic, CK Williams. BRG was one consideration I made when choosing my Roadster color. Great choice.

 

Thanks!! Reason one, we used the boot more than the back seat. Reason two, this one was just too good to pass up!

Thanks also!! You're exactly right on the name. Just my thought, a British car deserves to have a British name. The R57 was named for RJ Mitchell, the designer of the Spitfire. Seemed fitting to "Reach for the Sky" in a Roadster.

 

Thanks!! I haven't seen a bad looking MINI yet, but I'm definitely partial to the BRG.

 

Hi all, just going to jump in and introduce myself and my Roadster.
I was scrolling through a few of the pages of the thread and loving all the Roadsters!
they are beautiful cars indeed!!!
I'm loving mine! I picked him up in September and enjoying every second of him!

attached is just a a few after picking him up.

 

Nice Roadster! I really like the Black Star Bullet wheels with the dark, subtle viper stripes.

Thanks for the pics!

 

Thank you! I had his design in mind from the day I first saw the concept of the Roadster!

 

Ducé looks fantastic, gemgiripa.
