i have plenty of nice things to say about things people post...check my list of posts. It just happens to be that i dont like when people put S badges on a cooper. It's important to ask yourself why you put an S badge on your cooper. I personally think the black and white fits your style and color way better than the chrome and then on top of that the chrome happens to be off an S and still has the S badge.

like someone else said....if you want chrome, they have chrome cooper grills. It's just that adding the S seems unnecessary and a little bit wrong. I will continually state my opinion and you can either listen to it or not....simple as that. Just try to think about the overall look of your car as a piece of art. Make sure that the color combos flow and that you are making the right statements that you want to make. If you want your car to look like an "almost" MCS...then go for it. I just feel that your car has a lot of pontential to go the way of being a good looking MC rather and an MCS-lookalike. So do reconsider the black grilles with white lights...even if you like chrome, there is plenty of other places to put the chrome you love

Ah, I meant it as the S side repeaters. theres plenty more S differences before someone would mistake it as a S.

a bit off topic, but did anyone notice that this is an 07', with a GP wing and side skirts? and yes some crazy front end wide body badness

Interesting thread. :impatient

Say, does anyone know a source for just the white repeater lenses ?

Edit: Disregard. I found them on a website called triple-c.com where they sell for $29.95 a pair.
