Wheels Spraying/Powder Coat??

I can't find this in FAQ,..........

I've seen an MCS with 17" alloys in the dark grey colour, which must have been done after market?. Has anyone had this done, and if so, where...and how much?, is it a service provided by the Mini/BMW dealer?

Not seen it done deliberately, but it could also be that the wheels were just coated in brake dust...

I saw an S Monday afternoon with its alloys absolutely covered in brake dust. Nasty.

I've seen a BRG MCS w/ black stripes and medium gloss black rims.....looked very nice. I'm gettting a set of S-lites done the same way for about $200 here in the States. Brutus is Dark Silv. and has black out grill and black M7 lower grill the rims would just make him soooo bad a--. Look up "PowderCoating", I found a PowderCoating.com out here, but thats all. good luck!

Bad Brutus, bad Brutus...

Did you see that at some Lakside Park or maybe one of your local Subdivisions.

We can walk our road together
If our goals are all the same
We can run alone and free
If we pursue a different aim

Let the truth of Love be lighted
Let the love of Truth shine clear
Sensibility
Armed with sense and liberty
With the Heart and Mind united
In a single perfect sphere

Well, it wasn't in the high school halls.
But it was at a kind of shopping mall... parking lot.

Thought so

Just saw them Saturday night. Awesome.
Just as good as they were over 2 decades ago.

Ah, cool! I caught the VT show when they came through last year. Actually better than I remember them. Or maybe I just appreciated them more, given the circumstances (no pun intended).

They're coming to town this time right on my 3rd wedding anniversary, so I don't know if I'm going to get to see them then. That, and I'm not so sure those nice Canadian boys quite know what they're in for doing an outdoor show in Atlanta in August... Words like "near-100-degree-heat" and "98% humidity" aren't exactly commonplace in the Canadian vocabulary... GET YER BUTTS INDOORS, GUYS!!!

I'm sure you know about the new album coming out on June 29th... Covers of the '60s stuff that inspired them when they were starting out. Did they do any of that stuff in the new show?

Chees,
