the 'other' BMW pimp my ride sort of a mini project (pics)

[vlad]

well, I know it's not an E30 but as a Mini it needed a 'mini' pimp my ride :D

I've already added the hood stripes and the side decals as well as the painted (white) front air duct but it still needed some 'juice'

started taking the parts off





both bumpers, sideskirts, front and rear flares are off











painted and cleared





painted the rims Nogaro silver with red stripes



finished product




added the Hella Driving lights for some night driving



before



after



since this car is being driven by female driver in NYC, as much as I would love to drop it and put 17" on it, it's out of the question...

for those who don't live in NYC this is what happens to your bike if you live it on the street for a few days (took these pics in SOHO last weekend)





also painted the rear hatch handle white for some nice contrast and tinted the sidemarkers

Looking cool Vlad

Looks nice, the car looks more expensive just from that simple change. Probably was a fair bit of work removing all the texture from the plastic.

I dig the color matching but I cannot stand the white stripes/accents/graphics or time attack stripe.

[Alecs MacDonald]

Wheels turned out hot. I like it.

[vlad]

yeah, like I said, if I could I would drop it and put 18s on it like the Mini challenge Club Car, that would looks awesome... maybe some day... If I get enough inspiration from her :pimp:






TGIF !!! :drink:

I'm kinda shocked to see that it's red :!:

I did try the BBS RS on it before but they stick out too much with 2.5" lips

[Van Westervelt]
