cheers, phil
Thanks man....There is a thread about this over on M|U, but the pic in the sig was meant to represent my new MCS project car (that is on order )...although i did change the color choice already. I absolutely loved the little red one (and will hate to see it go), but i have been working with a few companies, and this next car will be even better

nice. just remember, wide wheels are a must for a widebody.

I already have issues with rubbing on the fenders as my offset is about +16mm over stock. The widebody would probably only be about an inch, so I wouldn't really need that much wider wheels/tires.

I've got some ideas. The part I can't figure out so far is what width 15" wheel will fit under the rear of a lowered MINI. We've seen 18x7.5, and 17x9 in the rear. But the larger wheel just doesn't work for me on the MINI (ironic I have aftermarket 17s which I love).

Here is my inspiration:


It sports from what I can tell, 15x7 et 35 with spacers in the back--maybe 15x8 tho consider the et35. But with the stretch, the tire looks like one of those donut spares.

I have that cooper bumper still but sport the S right now. I think that cooper bumper shaved would look the shiz.

Everyone is one-in-a-million, and there are billions of us on this earth think about the math. One shouldn't worry about being different, just about doing what they want (even if it is what lots of other people are doing)

this car is pretty clean, but for some reason i don't like painted fender flares on the minis. the silver mesh looks like poo as well. i like the way the oem textured flares contrast the body.

THAT'S AN 'S' WANNABE!!!!!!!!!!! No 'S' side grills, the gas tank matches the body it's not chromed like usual, and if you look in the back, theres only one pipe on the right side for the exhaust! You're not foolin the die hards!

I am not the one that called it a POS.

I love the blue ride. I am an old vortex member and X-A3 body jetta owner (kamei / golf set-up and other goodies) as well and current pepper white s owner.

I think we are in the same realm of "taste"
Cept my MINI doesn't have stripes and is all white!

Yeah I think so, I saw something about bustin on the blue cabrio. Sorry thought that was you. If you like euro you're ok in my book!

It wants to be an 'S'....but it's really a cooper, thats what I'm saying... But he's trying to fool people into thinking it's fast because of the lowering, aero kit, etc. and also not to mention his s not so lites, which are stock on a cooper s.

he knows what you are saying. its just no one knows where you are getting your info. nothing about that car is trying to be an S. the wheels that you say come stock are not ever stock. its part of the sport package.

really the car is just hot. dont be jealous.

unless you personally know the owner and he told you that he wants it to be an S....you are being rediculous. Its not like he has an S hood, or dual-center exhaust....

A cooper can be lowered and have an aero kit just as much as any MCS can.....you are making NO SENSE

That's funny. I remember a lot of those rides off of The Vortex. Some of them are saved on my hard drive. That first MK4 Jetta reminds me of my old one.
