Thanks Noreen! Looking forward to seeing what you are doing with RedlLine.

Today I got the factory hood insulation installed. Happy about this, as it should really help protect the paint. More on this, including part numbers here:
https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...er-hood-5.html Before installing the insulation, you could barely put your and on the outside of the hood...it got really hot



I also installed 12mm spacers. this brings the wheels out for a real nice flush stance. No rubbing, driving all over Chicagoland today Now I just need to get my NM Alpha springs installed and the stance we be greatly improved


If you look closely, you can see the air/cooling duct for the brakes...love the details

Nice

 

Thanks Kev...you got there before I did

A couple of new pics, shows the 12mm stance a little better.

Nice! What about racing stripes? Although it does look super clean without them.

 

Agreed Needs toffee viper stripes

 

BlueToy, I endorse your choice to go stripeless. The dealer kept asking me, and I said NO NO NO stripes! I just like the look better. Just a matter of preference.

 

I struggled with that while placing my order...still on the fence about it. It is so clean without them. Maybe when I get bored with the look
Still a very cool idea...I need to photoshop that and take a look.

 

BlueToy, in your pics, it always looks super shiny...did you add some kind of coating?

 

Yes, boy did I. Check out post #56 of this thread for the details

Wow, this is an awesome Roadster Congrats!

 

Thanks

When I was at my dealer ordering my coupe they had a JCW coupe with Toffee stripes. I personally did not like it at all but here is a picture so you dont have to use photoshop.

 

I love the toffee stripes...I think they will POP!

 

Thanks Patrick, that is a huge help to actually see it Now I know I'm staying stripeless...I really like how clean it looks. Youification right


-Steven

 

BlueToy, do you have a clone in OK who can make my Roadster as shiny as yours???

 

Or VA... the toffee stripes are cool, but his car sure is shiny.

 

Agree.. It looks beautiful just the way it is

 

Steven,

Would you mind posting, or PMing, the details on your spacers? Watching the wife drive our new Roadster home last night I think the tires could use the push outward. Not sure why but I don't remember my last Cooper S looking like that....

 

No problem, here you go: Ordered from

You will also need to order longer wheel bolts. I use Turner Motorsports for those. Order the bolt length specced to the spacers. Hope this helps.

Thanks Steven!! Exactly what I was looking for.

 

hey steven, you obviously know what's up with detailing! What are you using on the soft top?

 

So far nothing on the top. It has been treated with something from the factory that makes it bead water tremendously. As long as it's doing that, I won't use anything on the canvas. I still am doing some research to find what is best. I'll let you know if I get any good info. on the subject.

Just hit 1k miles...break in done. Time for an oil change and some full throttle fun
