Sweet car. Silver is one of the best colors on these cars.

Great looking car man. I wanted a silver WS6 in the worst way, but by June of '02 the only new TA I could find was a black one. And I still had to drive an hour away to get it...stole it for $28K.

Some iForged wheels with black centers would look pimp as hell on your car. Car looks real clean man, new desktop for me.

thanks for the compliments man! thats funny because i originally wanted a black ws6, but now i am very happy with silver. as far as wheels go, i believe that i want either boyd timeless IIs or TTIIs. 17x9.5 fronts and 17x11 rears. still working on performance first. $$$ is hard to keep right now because of college. TNT 150 shot is next!

Heatgun/ hair dryer will work fine...then just use some WD-40 to wipe off the residue. After that, just wipe it clean and reapply your wax. BTW, Mini Coopers are pretty cool little cars...especially the S. What they don't have in speed they make up in handling.

Go to the auto parts and look for a small spray can of some stuff called "Sticker Shock". You spray it on any decal and let it sit for about 5 minutes and they peel right off. Doesn't hurt your paint either.
