Ahhh, winter set up is 18", makes sense, probably more options as well.

I would love to drive one sometime

I was just brain storming with your plate idea, if another idea enters my head I will throw it out there.

So Monica, what's your opinion on racing stripes? I was thinking a pair of matte pink, Cobra style stripes would really set off your ride. If not matte pink maybe a matte blue to match the color of the RS badges would look really good, covering every painted part from the bottom of the bumpers to over the top of the car, what do you think?

BTW I've seen some that are too wide in proportion to the car.

Appreciate the ideas Roger :xyxthumbs: I have a few of my own, just trying to decide which one I want to go with.

No plans for stripes... actually, the only exterior mods I'm thinking of are tint (god it's screaming for tint) and debadging the hatch of "Focus". Already got a quote on the tint yesterday. I'm waiting till spring when it warms up and will set quicker and better.
And, of course, a killer detail job :dblthumb2:
 
Yeah the Focus badge has to go for sure and yes, the tint is a must! What percentage are you guys allowed there?

lol I just don't want to hear someone say, "oh, that's a nice Focus".......

As for tint, we rea'you aren't allowed any on the front windows but that never stops me ;)
I'll probably go about 15-18%.
 
Would make seeing at night time that much harder and I wouldn't want the in unwanted attention from the cops but then again...

RSTED😏

FINALLY ordered some winter mats... got a set of OEM ones. They aren't "RS" mats (unfortunately) but I do really like OEM mats over aftermarket. They tend to hold up really nice, I like the material AND they are usually about 1/2 the cost of Weathertechs :xyxthumbs:
 
You posted in my thread about "only" doing tint to your car this year but in reality look at what your driving, the hottest of all hot hatches, doesn't really need anything!

Thx Roger.... I don't really think it needs anything either :xyxthumbs:
 
I'm still a kid, I put racing stripes on everything, LOL. I had a Crossfire and put a pair of slasher stripes down in front of the rear wheels.

I think the MINI community killed stripes for me... everyone went nuts with graphics :rolleyes:

I still think well-done (and tasteful) stripe(s) or whatever decals on a car looks great.
 
Some MINI people do go nuts for sure! I had the factory ones and then had them taken off and had Cobra style done and then rocker stripes like I have on the Abarth but had an S out there, so I'm probably one of those people your talking about, LOL.

TRUST me, you are not! Some of the crap I saw on people's cars was hideous and so overdone.

I remember one car in particular that had been wrapped to look like a "Woody". It also had flames on it AND the windows had been tinted with mirror tint...
There was something on the roof as well, but I don't remember what. It had so much going on it was ridiculous. To top it off, all the vinyl wrapping was done very poorly.

Possibly the Union Jack (United Kingdom flag) on the roof?

There's so large of a turnout with MINI's with MOTD but when you go to cars and coffee's they are never around, here in Chitown or the D, never around.

Where are all these "enthusists" at for the brand?
