    Pics! It did happen!

    Well, ask and you shall receive! Here is a short picture history of MINI life so far.



    [​IMG]
    I owned a 2003 R53 for a little over 3 years. I loved it. 100% stock. But the transmission was starting to have major issues so I decided to trade.


    [​IMG]
    My first Mods. Black rings and Tinted Windows!


    [​IMG]
    The Mod bug bit and I started to change everything. I used PlastiDip to make these stripes. I screwed up on the hood but I rocked it like this for a couple months.


    [​IMG]
    I felt rather ambitious just before winter started in late 2014. I definately got a lot of looks for this color scheme. :D


    [​IMG]
    I removed the stripes and blacked everything out I could. I started to run Michelin Pilot Super Sports in 215's when I bought the NM wheels.


    [​IMG]
    The notch scoop was probably the last mod before adding the JCW kit and completely changing the look of my car.


    [​IMG]
    Here is COOP as I was performing Plastic Surgery :wink: Oh I also had a temporary anti-gravity mod. It didn't make for good cornering so I took it off.



    And now for some glamour shots!

    Welcome to M/A! Quite a few of us came from that other site, so I'm sure you won't feel lonely and will even recognize some of us.
