Hello everyone

Just wanted to say hi and show off my wifes new Mini. I actually registered back in May but havent posted til now. I ordered her Cooper S as a B-day gift in April, and ofcoarse had to wait til may to pick it up. So far the car has been a blast on the trips we have been on.

We've put about 4K on the car, in that time my wife has installed her first cold air kit( Alta) raced it at our local dragstrip, took it on several road trips, and now she's about to learn how to put lowering springs on and were gonna change the wheels to a set of Konig Imagine wheels.

Anyway, we hope to make the next Deals Gap run with you guys.

See ya around

Springs

Really nice car! Tell me what springs you will be getting, I am curious considering all the makes and models and prices of lowering springs out there.

Thanks for the welcome, here's a pic of the car but I just went today and changed the wheels to Konig Imagine wheels. As soon as I have some pics i'll post them. I really wanted to go to 18's on the car, but felt safer keeping the 17" Runflats for her.

Tweeker1, I plan on getting Alta springs. We have there cold air kit and it seems nice enough so i'll probably just get their springs also.

Here's a pic of the car with the stock wheels...
