After waiting for 2 months after placing my order at Vista MINI for my 2016 MINI Cooper S, this past Saturday Clark officially became mine!! Vista MINI and Boca Tint and Wraps did a phenomenal job with the customizations required to transform Kal-El into Clark/SuperMINI!!
An awesome group of MINIacs from the local Gold Coast MINIs area and even from Jacksonville Area MINI Motorers (JAMM) came out to welcome Clark into the MINI family.
A lot has happened since we last saw “Kal-El”. Today he continued his transformation into “Clark” and even went on his first flight:
If you look closely, you will notice something is a little different about that exhaust… Let’s look a little closer:
Earlier today, my 2016 MINI Cooper S arrived at Vista MINI !! Of course I rushed right over to check him out :). If you haven’t read my previous posts, I am doing a Superman theme and the car will eventually have a Chili Red roof and other Chili Red accents in addition to the JCW Tuning Kit. However, until that happens, the car is in the “Kal-El” stage of his Superman journey 😉
The transformation into “Clark” begun a few hours after he arrived at the dealership:
I really like how the front end of the car is taking shape. The gloss black grill surround really does make the front end look much more aggressive and hides that front big pedestrian bumper!
Stay tuned for more updates as the week goes on!
It has been a busy summer so far! Between trying to find a good home for my 2006 MINI Cooper S, Scooter, and preparing for the arrival of my new 2016 MINI Cooper S, Clark (as in Clark Kent), things have been pretty hectic lately. I can finally see the end of the tunnel, however. In just over a week, Scooter’s new owner will be flying down to pick him up and bring him back to his new home in Indiana.
While that is bittersweet, the arrival of my new MINI is just around the corner. Just two days ago, my 2016 MINI arrived at the VPC in Brunswick, Georgia aboard the K-Line vessel, Eurasian Highway, and, today, went through vehicle processing. Unfortunately at this time, 2016 models are being held at the VPC, but hopefully they will be released within the next week so I am not without a car for too long.
