New to me 2013 Roadster

This is my 3rd Mini and plan to keep this for a while as a weekend car. I have been working on it for 6 weeks straight but goal was to restore to like new and customize. Here are the pics so far...

One of only about three MINIs I've seen where blackout actually looks good! Congrats!

Thank you all. Yes, I was hesitant about the full blackout but it works well with the burnt orange.

If you ever considered colouring your arches, this is just for you

Great looking Roadster. I agree with spiney -- the blackout really works. As the owner of a 2013 Coupe, I feel a kindred spirit.

Motor on.

BTW, where'd you get the black floor mats with the red piping? Nice.

Painting the arches would be too much. I like the contrasting black.
I got the floormats from ECS Tuning.

Great, looks awesome. I am running GP2 floormats in my R58 JCW also. I like the contrast with everything else in the interior.

Congratulations, looks awesome...... really classy with no stripes. The two outstanding colors of the catalog were orange and Lightning Blue
