MINI R53 RS – Son of 997 GT3 RS

mini-chopped

Just a wild photochop work. The MINI is almost half way there with the Signal Green paintjob. It now needs more GT3 RS-esque features.  Though Duell AG already have ready-made versions that resembles the look, unfortunately it’s for the R56 versions. The earlier R53 versions don’t posses the same look.

It’s still a photoshop work. So no promises. But it is the look that i desire most for the MINI.

Europrojektz Malaysia – First Group Shoot.

group-see-through

Just last Friday, the Malaysian chapter of Europrojektz, decided to do a small shoot. The Monsoon season didn’t stop us shooting in the drizzle. Fortunately, the pictures came out well and well worth the effort.

The shoot was done in a local shopping mall, Sunway Pyramid, top floor – car park. The parking lot was far from empty. It was peak Friday dinner hour but we managed anyway.

Cruise shots of the E34 and the MINI

Thanks to Abdullah Al-Ahdal | Ahdalphoto.com for taking the time to shoot the 2 cars. Typical monsoon season provided a different perspective and of course, spoilt the shooting session. So there are only 2 shots for now.  Also, I’d like to debut the flat black headlight surrounds by Angeline on the MINI, Done by Herself.

Though the rain screwed the shoot, it still managed to produce the above. At least I have a shot of the E34 in the wet :) . Another session will be arranged for a full feature. This will probably be the last few shots of the E34 in the current state. Aesthetic changes awaits.

All that was needed was some sandpaper, black and clear spray cans, some paper tape and some quick drying cement epoxy, the affected wheel area was sanded down, pits and valleys filled with epoxy and sanded smooth.

DuelL AG’s Gauge Faces for the R56 MINI

DuelL AG has recently collaborated with MINIMAX to create their very own gauge faces.  I think they are probably the best 2.0 looking dials available. Though MINIMAX’s current line of “old school american radio” faces aren’t too bad either. But it’s a shame these DuelL AG items doesn’t support the R53. Looks like more and more cooler parts are now made for the R56 and up.
