    Hey man, your car looks great. I like how you darken the fender lights. I want to do the same. Did you use a Tinted Side Reflector Film or did you replace the whole thing with a clear/smoked light?

    wow!!!

    Dark Helmet is a VERY good looking car! Congratulations. I ordered my 2012 Coupe on line. You have a lot more mods than me but the thing I absolutely LOVE about my Coupe is the MOODY look the car gets from the JCW aero kit. Tires blow up, black out everything, low skirt, absolutely FANTASTIC...Moody doesn't quite describe it. I'm sure that Dark Helmet intimidates all the other cars when you're not looking.....:devil:

    That is high praise from an R53 diehard. :) :) High praise!

    If I was to have a coupe, Dark Helmet would be the goal.

    That is a nice coupe, only if he could keep up on the Dragon. :lol:

    I watched the video you gave me the other day from MOTD. :Thumbsup:

    The MINI my son keeps talking about is Dark Helmet! He even put it up there with his favorite Ferrari. Now he wants me to get a coup. I don't know what's with him it's not like it's a R53, but I will admit you have one sweet ride!:D

    What's more amazing is Blake keeping up in a stock R53. That kid can drive. Maybe he should try a racing school Mark.

    Yup Blake can drive and drive very well. I was right on his bumper for the Donut run and if he could have passed his Dad he would have. :devil:

    I think he only "touched" the yellow line twice on Helbender and the Dragon. :Thumbsup:

    Yes he can drive and agree Dave .0, I think he thought about it passing but knew better.

    Sounds like you guys had some good runs and at the right pace too! :Thumbsup:

    Every time I see this Coupe, I give it some more thought. ;)

    What changes were made at the Dragon this year?

    While a built R53 would be nice, I would miss Dark Helmet!
