    If your going to wrap it you should use Chili Red. You will get a 50% HP gain. :lol:

    Very nice, this is the color I almost ordered, but ended up with Chili Red with black top for the speed factor. You got me thinking I need another R53, but Electric Blue / White.

    Hey, Welcome! There's certainly nothing abnormal about being a truck and a MINI lover. Been there myself for many, many years. My photo albums tell the story of that cohabitation...

    And yes I know the wheels are super wide. I dig it. And hate it at the same time.

    Welcome. Looks like your R53 is the same color as my R56. I prefer a white roof, but to each his own.

    Three of my last five cars have been Audis, so we have that in common, too.

    Haha thanks


    Electric Blue? I like the white roof on some as well, but this one was pretty stained and faded. Plus my plan in the future is to wrap the body as well. Not sure what color yet though.


    Thanks!

    Welcome!
    My other "car" is a Ford F350 4x4. The MINI's roof doesn't even come up to the truck's door handles.

    I love the color as well, but if I'm honest the pictures are a bit fudged with, the actual finish is not nearly as nice. The blue is quite faded out. I will be wrapping the body as well soon enough, just have to decide on a color still.
