Assuming that Garbino MINI isn't a photoshop, I wonder what the specs are on those wheels? Looks like a fairly low offset in the front.

Edit: NVM, has to be a photoshop unless they re-drilled the hubs, those wheels are 4x100.

You can really set the black off with the red trim. Gives me a hint of regret around my color choice after seeing that. Thunder grey with red accents would have been incredibly sexy as well!

Ask an ye shall Receive!


Attached are 3 pictures: 1 of the front, 1 of the top down, and 1 of where the drill holes would be.

Now this is promising. The black headlight and grille surrounds make the front end look SO much better!

Awesome... I ordered it on a Thursday/Friday: got it in a USPS box no more than 3 days later... super fast shipping, and works amazing. Plus, you can raise it or lower it (I think Hawaii has some limit to how low i can put it, so i matched where the holes would be. I might try to lower it depending ).

All in all: i think it was ~$70 total... but priceless for the no holes

According to my dealer, the TG is the same grey that was used on the GP2 car.

I've also asked my dealer for red mirror caps

I would love to get some black headlight and grill surrounds! They would compliment my green and black theme. My MA is keeping his eyes open for these.

Yes, the stripes are vinyl. I also have stripes running along the bottom edge of the sides too.
