VMR said this appropriate size to be flush with fenders.

I like black stripes on roof as well. Haven't seen one like that yet.

An 8.5 will be a tight fit in the front but it might work. If they say it fits I assume they've test fitted them on another MINI. That will be really good info to know

All red MINI's are a blast. I'm personally biased towards no stripes and leave it red on red. It's one of the best combos and you rarely ever see them. Those classic styled stripes aren't meant to go past the hood IMHO. If you had racing stripes down the center it would be a different story.

I'm late to the posting party since I got mine over a month ago, but I just got it out of the paint/tint shop, so I figured now's is probably a good time

Nice. Are stripes factory or aftermarket paint or stickers?

Thanks!

Stripes were installed at the port - they are the sport stripes and you can get them direct from MINI.

Thanks!

I talk about my experience with Park Assist here:https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...-mini-2-a.html

I've seen a couple dealers demoing it on YouTube. I use it sometimes for fun around work, though I am capable of parallel parking myself no problem. The real test would be using it to parallel park downtown, where the spaces are smaller and traffic makes it difficult. I haven't had a chance to try that yet...

Now that the sand and salt is off the roads and it's going to be sunny for a few days, I finally got it washed today. So nice to finally see my car clean!

I absolutely love the red accents. Especially the front grill horizontal piece.

Looks great. How much did the springs lower the car? Did they affect the ride comfort?

Nice wheels. Doesn't look too lowered, maybe 1/2"? If you lower it too much Minis look weird IMO.
