Tango, AKA AquaMINI

 

I figured I'd better represent for Iced Chocolate...



...and I just realized I parked in the same place today as I did yesterday (when I drove my BRG R52).

 

nice ride chip! what wheels are those in the f56?

 

Also, here's the update to our website for F Series MINIs

Drive Hard. Drive Safe. Keep Grinning.

 

Thanks. They're MSW Type 25 in the stock 16" size.

 

Some pics of the His and Hers that are in the stable now. One shows the Thule roof basket on while I had it for test fitting. It makes a good bit of noise, so I've removed it until it's road trip time.

 

Here's a pic of my MINI (b. 4/13/2016) and a close-up of the side marker insert.

 

What is this Dinan tune you speak of? I thought the didn't have anything for the mini.

Finally finished!

EDIT: Revised video with better resolution logo and a few other very minor changes. Enjoy and share!

 

Video turned out great!

 

Finally got around to getting the windows tinted.

3M Crystalline all the way around, including the windshield. While the Crystalline is not as dark as some other tint, it is the best at blocking the heat. Which is why I tint the windows.

Next up are the new wheels...

 

latest pic of "BlackJack" in DTLA over the weekend...

 

Been thinking of the Crystalline! Can you tell me what the percentages you went with on each?

Looks great!

 

I went with the darkest on all the windows (CR40), and the 2nd to the lightest on the windshield (CR70). Crystalline doesn't come very dark, which my wife really appreciates. However, the heat blocking is way better than darker regular tint.

 

Oh, not legal for sale or use in California. I guess I'm left out. Bummer! Thanks for the link though!

 

Gave the MINI a bath. The paint coating sure does keep this thing shiny!

 

what is this paint coating that you speak of?

i was tempted to xpel my entire midnight black f55..but may only do the front end..

black is impossible to keep clean and scratch free!

 

I have xpel on the front (full hood and front protection). I am using Gtechniq Crystal Serum topped with EXO. This really protects your paint. I had my paint color corrected (all swirl marks removed and polished to perfection before the application).

I also have a black Audi SQ5 that is almost 3 years old. I did the same to the Audi when it was new and I still have zero swirl marks. Pic below....

 

My 2016 Cooper S 5-door. Picked her up Friday!

 

Looks great, congrats!

Drive Hard. Drive Safe. Keep Grinning.

 

Just arrived, pick up Friday, F56 Melting Silver

 

Beautiful! Congrats!

 

It's like an F56. Just more doors! #minif55

 

Waiting for this to show up in November!



Just ordered!
