DON'T USE THEM!!! I had "R53" on my previous MINI for two years...car was always garaged, driven in good weather only, and the letters had all turned yellow and the chrome flaked off.....it looked disgusting!! :-(

Not great pics, but a couple to show off our new Roadster.

24 hours old and putting the JCW big brakes on.



24 hours later and at our local grand opening car show.



Will be a while before I can get any high quality pics.....

roadster looks really nice when the top is down but so so when its close. That's where the coupe shines!

Hey newbie1kenobi...expecting a warm reception on the Roadster board? We love them top up or down. But they're never really supposed to have them up!

New Pepper White Roadster

Hi Guys,

I've been waiting 5 weeks and just learned today that my new roadster is at the dealer. I'm picking it up on Monday! My MA sent these photos and I thought you might like to see it.
