Welcome to NMSland :cool:

[Sweeney]

Like the look of that, very nice... Have you thought of painting the brake calipers red? would look soo much better if you ask me :D

[smiglyy]

yip have thought and gonna do it when we get some sunshine give me time to clean and paint thanks thou on my list of things to do

[Sweeney]

ooo so what else is on the list? :)

[smiglyy]

tints aero side skirts aero front grille mayb a set of 18" just bought these 17" last week bought in haste apart from that just have to wait and see

[Sweeney]

the cross spokes are good wheels, what 18"s were you thinking of?
Could get whatever wheels you get in white, would suit the theme of the car :cool:

[smiglyy]

quite like the gp kinda 4 spoke ones

[Sweeney]

Aye but you'd need to buy replicas :( replicas are ugly and heavy imo, what about the R99's or R95's? youd trade/sell your wheels easily if you do switch though

[smiglyy]

quite new to this so what do they look like m8

[AndyP & Lenore]

Smiglyy, welcome to the forums.

Nice car in pic 1.;) And what a transformation in pic 2. Colour coding and a nice roof graphic make such a difference. Very very very nice indeed.:D :D

Like sweeney says, the calipers in red will go down a treat. Personally I'd keep the tints to B-pillar and back. Avoid the front windows, or you'll attract the rozzers like a baby to a stick of candy.

A.:D

[smiglyy]

just the back windows defo and thanks shows wot u can do in a month but will keep goin fancy a bit more power but with the tlc might have to wait

[Sweeney]

Ive got the R99's in anthracite (nothing to say you couldnt get em done white :p)(http://homepages.nildram.co.uk/~rsweeney/mini/Side.JPG)

Full list and pics of them all (http://www.mini2.com/galleries/showgallery.php/cat/572)

[smiglyy]

nice bud like them also still got the normal cooper s wheels the 10 spoke ones as in my first pic so will try to do a deal with both sets nedd a refurb thou that why i took em off

[Sweeney]

You shouldn't have much trouble shifting them, both are sought after wheels ;)

Could go aftermarket too, i still reckon white spoked wheels would look the muts nuts!

[smiglyy]

will look in to it all a question of how much to ask for them others aint got tyres unfortunately but will try to sell b4 i buy

[Sweeney]

Aye thats it, all down to the dosh :rolleyes:

[illegalhunter]

Well i love my wheels but i fancy a set of 18" and r95's in black/anthracite would look really nice ;)

[smiglyy]

[cooper-chick]

Hey,

Welcome :o I just joined a few weeks ago after i bought my cooper S. Had a mini cooper but always said soon as i turned twenty i would get a S and i love it :rolleyes: .

Was looking at the before and after pics and what a difference.

I was just wondering where you got your arches and side skirts painted cause mine are both black too:( and how much was it.
