I never liked the chrome lip onthe old ones so i got these with tires for a g installed. I definatly like the all black look much more. sry its getting dark pics not so great.

 

Nice wheels, but i am gonna flame you for the BMW badge in your grill, its a MINI, made in the GB with technology from BMW. Other then the technology everything else is MINI. its like me putting a MINI emblem on my BMW not gonna happen.

 

Well, since MINI is a wholly-owned subsidiary of BMW, technically they are BMWs, in the way that all Chevys/Pontiacs/GMCs are GMs. Only difference being that BMW doesn't have a separate name for the parent company.

Of course, maybe he has it on there to bug uptight BMW owners!! (This said as the past owner of three BMWs...and for the record, I think the guy can put whatever badge he pleases on the car...it's his, afterall!)

 

nice rims

 

true, around here where i live we have a smart car in the area with ferrari badges/ emblems on it. would you but bmw emblems on a rolls royce. to each his own, but a mini is a mini and a bmw is a bmw. two diffent car compaines and gm puts there badge on every car. bmw puts there badge on every control module in the mini, no where else. belive me i know.

 

Oh, so you're the guy who used to have the Porsche logo on his GTI…

 

I like the front "roo" guard. First one I have seen on a Mini.

 

I've never been a fan of the chrome lip either. Good choice on the new wheels.

 

Not a fan of the cattle bar... but the rest of the car is really nice.

 

I've seen how people drive and park in NY, that must be a life saver. Of course, where you live is probably much more normal than NYC, haha.

 

Love the rims. But, I'd love to hear the story about why you decided to bolt on the cow pusher. A little parking helper for the city?

 

Black sport stripes over the carbon fiber hood scoop = WIN. I like that look a lot.

I wasn't a fan of the Sportbar at first either...but it's odd that it's starting to grow on me. It would come in handy big time in SF. Damn bump-method parkers.

 

Looks good!

 

"Youification" does not end with the factory parts list! Wonder if we'll see more off-road look accessories with the advent of the Countryman and MINI's entry into WRC.

 

Agreed. Cattle bar adds a lot of drag at high speed

 

I actually like your old rims more than the all black ones. Too bad you're on the other side of the country, I'd take them off your hands.

 

when u live near a city like manhattan we have alot of homeless washing windows so the bar is to nudge them away and in case i hit a racoon.
