Just had some additions made to my car!

[edesignuk]

Hey all, I just had some additions made to my car that I am really happy with, so I thought I just had to come and show 'em off! :D

I got the white bonnet stripes and driving lights added to it yesterday, I think they make all the difference, it looks like a different car.

What ed hasn't also told you all, is that he had a second bonnet for his car painted up at the same time!

The car in the pictures above is when he's dating the ladies and needs to appear as a sensitive kinda guy.... however, I have it on expert opinion that when the ladies aren't around, he gets very busy swapping the 60's Cooper look over to something far more MANLY!!! heh-heh!!

ed, the boys salute you!! :p :p :p

LOL! That is a nice set of headlights you have there. I love those little cars but here in Cali. those damn things are like Honda Civics they are EVERYWHERE!

edesignuk -- You must have the turbo version of the mini right?

I was in the normal version... I am still waiting for even a little bit of speed... :(

The striping is cool tho.

I love the stripes - definitely a great idea.

iGav....you have a rearview shot of that car? ;)

Well, this is the Cooper, faster than the One, slower than the S. The insurance cost of this is bad enough, there is no way I'd get a Cooper S insured being 19 and only having been driving for a year :( But give it a few years, some no claims, then maybe a John Cooper Works Mini Cooper S will be on my drive :D

that's such a cool car man...I still get excited whenever I see one on the road... :D

the stripes definitely add to the appearance... ;)

[Physiognome]

I think the hood scoop on the Cooper S looks like some kind of huge zit, and even the regular one is a blast to drive.

There are about three cars that might convince me to trade in my Golf TDI (in order of lustpower):

1) JCW Mini - pure chuckable skateboard of a car -- no BS, no apologies -- weeeee!!

2) Audi A3 - luxury and practicality, like my Golf, but up a notch. Still bigger and softer than the Mini, though

3) MR2 Spyder - Boxster lite

Modifying your car is one of the most enjoyable things you can do with your hard earned cash. Mine's in line for a new suspension, brake upgrade and ECU flash to make it as scary to drive as a GTI (a GTI that gets 50mpg ;) ).

That is one hell of a car man. enjoy it...

[cb911]

oohhhh!! nice car! :D

and that's a nice manly bonnet!:D

[edesignuk]

Thanks for the comments all, glad you seem to like it as much as I do. It's a really nice day here and I've just had the first chance to wash it and get some good snaps in the sun, check 'em out! (http://homepage.mac.com/edesignuk/PhotoAlbum11.html)

I really like your choice in stripes - the fact that they're not parallel - really good effect.

Congrats!

'faster than the one' that means?

I know the S is turbo and the John is tuned (+ turbo?) but why don't you get some parts to make it go fast :p

Yeah and being that they Go

Is cool also.

Nice car edesignuk. I think that the red and white make a great combination. The white stripes just put the icing on the cake!
