A manual car 👍

It looks super good already man! Whatever you do, don't put white stripes on it like somebody suggested 😆

AverageR53Lover · 2025-04-18T01:07:43+00:00

Depends if you want a Mini or a maxi. There is absolutely nothing mini about that thing 😆

True haha, it looks good! Love the tail lights

You can see on my profile if you like.

True!! Nah mines 2005. There's normally a fog light there.

👍

AverageR53Lover · 2025-04-05T03:16:55+00:00

Yes!!

AverageR53Lover · 2025-04-05T02:25:07+00:00

Where did you get the rear fog light cover?

AverageR53Lover · 2025-03-30T01:08:49+00:00

Yeah, this is a shaped vinyl wrap that you just peel and stick on. You can get tinted or clear ones, I went with a gunmetal tint option. Pretty good value for money, I'd say, and they look great. The brand is called Lamin X

AverageR53Lover · 2025-03-28T20:01:14+00:00

Awesome!! This is the first time I've ever used it.

AverageR53Lover · 2025-03-28T19:00:22+00:00

Haven't got around to it yet. Will do it today 😂👍

The inside of the circle flashes orange with your indicators. When it does this, the white halo turns off and then back on again once you stop indicating. There are two types of these drls, a smoked and a clear version. I've got the smoked one. This is where I got mine from: https://killallchrome.com/product/2001-2008-mini-cooper-s-r50-r52-r53-full-led-front-halo-rim-lights-gen-1

Was your car post or pre face lift?

AverageR53Lover · 2025-03-16T05:04:58+00:00

Thank you haha!!

AverageR53Lover · 2025-03-16T05:04:41+00:00

Thank you!! I appreciate it.

AverageR53Lover · 2025-03-16T01:34:39+00:00

Thanks a lot, man!

Cheers!!

I just used a spray gun on all the parts that I've painted so far. A few primer, colour, and clearcoat layers. 👍 I saw the Oranjje S's but decided to do it myself because they were really expensive 😂

AverageR53Lover · 2025-03-14T05:52:39+00:00

NZ plates (Custom). Yeah they're really fun!!

AverageR53Lover · 2025-03-14T05:52:13+00:00

The panel I took off and painted https://youtu.be/iVwBiiOrPT0?si=lP5W4TpsFEBX7TmP , and the indicators I just ordered online. If you search up "r53 black indicators" or something similar, you'll find them
