I would relate it to having the same as a splitter on the front, if I take thing at a little bit of an angle no problem. Other wise it just lightly touches, if I removed a neither 1/2 inch it would be fine. But I do like the look.

a real nikehead, eh? i'm a sneaker collector too, may i ask where you got the jumpman-in-a-mini logos done?


and my car hasn't been all that you-ified yet...still share it with my mom, as i'm not old enough to drive on my own yet. but i have some black dice on the mirror, and i'm hoping to put some carbon fiber bits in wherever there's silver plastic now. and maybe some 18x8" hamann anniversary wheels, if i ever get any good money.

also, that M-tecknik logo on the front grille is a nice subtle touch, might have to copy that.

Hmm looks like they're sagging a bit...may want to try cutting the pipe up a little further so you can situate the tips a little bit better.

not exactly to my taste, but if you like it, enjoy it!

also, am i seeing things, or do you have blue brake calipers? that's a nice subtle touch...i want to get my calipers done in red with MINI written on them in white.

here are some selfmade mods of my own

selfmade back strut brace ( Stainless Steel ) :




selfmade suspension arm support, same design as "OMP" but Aluminium :
i made that after i destroyed the omp


water to air radiator ( moddified original air to air cooler that remaint after i switcht to a GP radiator... i got bored )
still waiting to get installed ( dont have time to do that... )


selfmade exsauhst tip "MINI" style

and right now ( different back end ), a litle dirty -_-


red paintet brakes and selfmade hood scoope ( i had that only a few weeks... after that i got bored of it and changed back to the original )



sidestripes and white hood scoope ( i know, i know... the white scoope looked kinda weird ) :


more stripes and a different hood scoope ( royel grey )


selfmade gauge pods and moddified navigation splash screen:
i did modifie my speedometer too ( white leds ) but i dont have any good pictures of that :?


selfmade tow hook ( i know that you can buy these... but i got bored and decidet i want one... NOW ):


Polished original Mini weels ( only had them 1 year... i forgot they dont like the salt on winter roads )

and on the car ( with weel spacers ):





off course the are much more things i changed on my mini... but these are the things i did most of/the entire work alone
( these and the selfmade short shifter... but i dont have any pictures of it )

I didn't care for the exhaust tip that came with my Alta V2 exhaust, so I had one made.
