It’s just a vinyl decal. On the fence on whether to remove it or not. I actually really like the color scheme that it adds, so I might put my own graphic with those colors.
There is an OEM button on the base of the right side of the steering wheel. If you toggle it on, they will automatically come on whenever you turn on your brights.
Interesting. I was thinking of installing lights and putting the button where the blank is under the fog light button. (Left of the steering wheel on the dash)
It’s the auto. They actually had it mislabeled on the site where I first saw it, so I did initially expect it to be a manual, but I’m happy nonetheless.
Awesome acquisition! And totally legit question here... are you Keller Williams bro? If so, I love your music and the Colorado car TOTALLY makes sense <3 /s
Just want to validate you. I did some digging and found this exact car from 2018 on the Schomp Mini YouTube page and looks like they participated in the MTTS that same year. So this is indeed the same car [https://youtu.be/KwlvZ_yLUdY](https://youtu.be/KwlvZ_yLUdY)
Good stuff! Actually looked back on my pics but couldn't find it but I recall seeing it in the parking lot on the last night, small world. Join a club, get yourself out to some MINI events, enjoy the ride!
Oof. I need to go back to CO. Haven't been since my last business trip there when my coworkers and I did a muscle car run up Pikes Peak à la Top Gear (Challenger, Camaro and Mustang). The whole way up I was longing for my R53. Haha.
I love that, but it's up to you to decide.
I have this rack on mine. (Kuat Vagabond X) no longer made. It’s designed for bikes. You will find 2 fork skewers in the front and the rear tires rest on the bar in the back to ease removal.
You can also tie lumber to it, a spare tire or flight cases, really whatever your heart desires. The factory Mini crossbars cause it to sit very high.
You are also missing the front fairing which will make it a lot noisier, you should be still be able to get a replacement from Kuat.
If this is what I think it is then you will also have the 2.5” M7 Speed lift MSW Type 48 Wheels and 28” BFG AT KO2 tires. This wheel/tire setup looks cool but is heavy.
This is standard kit from Schomp Mini in Denver.
Congrats on the purchase you your new Mini overlander. Welcome to the club!
Wow thank you for all the details, this is very insightful! And the rack will most definitely provide me with many uses, they even included a spotlight that’s attached. And you are completely right. I did some digging and found a video from Schomp Mini where it is featured with all these additions. [https://youtu.be/KwlvZ_yLUdY](https://youtu.be/KwlvZ_yLUdY)
Former Coloradan here - that is bad ass! How cool! Congrats on your new MINI :)
Thank you!!
Is it a decal or paint?
It’s just a vinyl decal. On the fence on whether to remove it or not. I actually really like the color scheme that it adds, so I might put my own graphic with those colors.
That... is...SWEET! Lived in the Springs for 40 years!
Take the road trip to CO first, snap some pics, then decide!
You have to keep it! Rule 4 Demands it!
I haven't been to Colorado in like 15 years, but that's awesome looking! Keep it!
Thank you!! I feel like I have been sufficiently swayed.
Exactly the same. Been a hot minute since I lived there and I live everything about this Mini!!!
Congrats, you’re a Native! I’ve lived here for almost a decade now and still don’t think I’ve achieved that status.
Haha now I feel obligated to keep up the act. Time to practice my Colorado accent if those even exist..
That is magnificent!
Thank you!!
I like the driving lights how do you operate them?
There is an OEM button on the base of the right side of the steering wheel. If you toggle it on, they will automatically come on whenever you turn on your brights.

Manual or auto?
It’s the auto. They actually had it mislabeled on the site where I first saw it, so I did initially expect it to be a manual, but I’m happy nonetheless.
Wait, I saw that one on cars dot com! Hard to mistake that graphic. I'm guessing it was for sale somewhere within 200 miles of Chicago?
Close, more like 500 miles. It was in Tennessee. A long way from home. And I also drove 5 hours just to get there.
Nice‼️‼️‼️
Thank you!!
Awesome acquisition! And totally legit question here... are you Keller Williams bro? If so, I love your music and the Colorado car TOTALLY makes sense <3 /s
No, but thank you for introducing me to some new great music!
Looks to be lifted with some very meaty tires, too.
Indeed, it all goes so well together. I kinda don’t want to ruin the vibe with any other type of tires.
I want to say I saw this at MTTS 2018 in Keystone, CO... I remember the graphic but not the model!

I’d be surprised if at least one other person didn’t have the same idea. It’s such a fantastic looking flag
Oh man!!! I live in CO, and I love my British Racing Green F60, but I’m so jealous of you right now! Nice Mini, my friend. Nice!
We can swap for the day since I am now officially obligated to take a trip to Colorado.
Happy Trails!!!
Thank you!!
Nice ride! I test drove it a couple weeks ago and decided against it. I’m glad someone gave it a home finally.
Congratulations

how many groceries bags can you fit on the top rack aka music wind maker
I actually have no idea what this rack is for. It came on the car. Suggestions? (other than forming a band)
