"Rikki MINI Tavi" 2008 MCS Sparkling Silver Metallic / Black Looks pretty much like the day I brought it home. Small things here and there...
Nice R56 pictures, I do like the Sparkling Silver with black stripes and white pins. Most excellent start to a good set of pictures. @miniconcarne, no luck on the webbies, I have had some lookers, but I'm not trying to hard, yet. I put my 16s back on today with Goodyear Eagle F1s, GS-D3s. Pretty sticky and not as harsh as the RFs with the TSW Springs. Need to take the blush off the GS-D3s. :smile5: Noticed my 16s are getting worn looking, who have you used to powder coat and are they reasonable?
Powdercoaters I used a few places down here. Not very satisfied. I think there are more options in the greater Denver area. If I can remember which shop up there I got a quote from, I'll pass it on. They wanted $75. blasted and coated. Clear is usually extra and depends on color choice. Some colors don't have/need clear.
Thanks Bryan, leave me a PM if you remember or find your fact sheet. We need some more R56 Cooper S pictures. :cornut:
Nice, You might want to cross-link to the R53 thread. :lol: Sharp JCW R53, DS is classic across the years. :cornut:
My compeletly stock R56S Here is my Oct/'07 build Chili Red/White roof/mirrors. "Fontana" is completely stock accept from some minor trim mods such as Luminx side marker tint, Nokya Intense Yellow fog bulbs, Super White parking bulbs, and an Alta Stubby antenna. Since the car is currently leased, I won't be modding anything until I buy it out of the lease. Then watch out!! I know stock is boring to some, but I love the performance as I owned a Mar/'04 R50 before hand and the R56S is sooo much better in many ways. Enjoy.
Here's the sons MCS. It's painted Honda S2000 PEarl Yellow, with an enhanced pearl cost in the clear. It really "pops" in person! I'm glad it came out as nice as it did. Unfortunately, he's been in Charlotte at school since it's been painted, he graduated Saturday and heads to Orlando to work for the summer, then off to Rhode Island for more schooling. I'll NEVER get to spend any time with that car now! and a close up
