Some pics of my 2005 Cooper S

Hey all, I know it's been quite a long time since I've posted on here. Alot has gone on in my life and big changes have been made. Recently though I got together some of the best shots of my car in past and current spec, and I thought I'd share those with the forum I miss being a part of.

Before I post some pics I want to give a list of modifications that I have done to the car, and then another list of what I plan on doing!

Current Mods:

Nice pics, I like the night shot 3/4 rear view with it's slow license plate best. The shots in front of the soccer nets are backlit which doesn't work well for me. Like the first two shots, kind of cold looking, moody.

I don't know when those were taken, but if Gabriel Iglesias is still at the Morris, buy tickets!

Great shots too.

Thanks for all the compliments! Seriously, it makes all the hard work put into my car and keeping my car nice, worth it!

All the pics were taken with a Canon Digital Rebel XSi with an 18-55mm Image Stabilizing lens. None of the pictures are edited in any way, and I take a little bit of pride in that.

Unfortunately Gabriel Iglesias isn't at the Morris anymore... Maybe next time
Hope everyone's having a great week!

That is one serious S. Good job. I only hope to do 1/4 of the mods that you have completed.
