1st Gen R52 Cooper Convertible Most liked posts in thread: Let's see your Cabrios!

That's a sweet looking vert. The first MINI I ever test drove was the Hot Orange.

 

Thanks TPLS BLR, did you change colors or is like the orange in that it is alot different color in the sun light vs the shade??


KK48, that is a cool setup with the matching trailer!!

 

Here's my '06 R52, I've had Tigger just over a year now. Took off the bonnet stripes and added the ghost flames at the Dragon this year, I also added the 15% pulley from Way there.
I have plans to do more

 

I love your mini! How/who did your mirrors? I would love to have some like those with my Interchange Yellow scheme.

Hello N2,

Can you give specs on your wheel set-up? They look like ASA AR1, what size? Also, would to see more on the fogs (behind the grill). Great job!

 

Brand new on the forum, here she is, yet unnamed. Looking forward to the mods.

 

Yes they are ASA AR1's 18'' with 215-35 tires.
Fog lights are nothing special just 3'' or so round and mounted to the bottom of the bumper brace..

 

Thanks for the reply, did you do a write-up on the fog light install? How are the 18's for DD?

 

No never did a write up on the install.. It's pretty easy though..
Bumper on first Gen's come off real easy, 2nd Gen's are a PITA compared..

I bought the wheels from Tire Rack on a close out for the 18's
Hope to one day buy another set of wheels and they will be 17'' to help get alittle better ride with more tire sidewall.. It's not bad as I have had them for over 3 years so far.. but one day.......

 

Finally a picture of my Mini... 2008 S with SSR Type Cs, TSW springs, and a Voltage CF hood scoop.

 

Updated Pics

Really loving this car...

 

Nice B&W's

 

Thanks Mr. Jim

 

MINImowse

Picture of my little sweetie. She's Pepper White and sports the Sidewalk Package. I love her more each time I slip behind the wheel. The only "Mods" that I made to her was to add the chrome grille and bonnet stripes. You simply cannot improve upon perfection! She gets a bath every weekend and changes out her boot badge to fit her moods or to coincide with the current holiday.

She loves long drives in the country, twisties and "high flying" friends.

 

A few from my first track day ever, at Buttonwillow, last Saturday. Had so much fun, I signed up for three more over October & November.
