Nice looking ride.

Now you need some lowering springs to rid yourself of the gap between the fender and the tire :smile: and to pitch the "run-bricks". I'm not one to talk, I'm in desperate need to do the same. At least you've made the right step of losing the stock "anchor wheels".

I like the Magnaflow installed flush with the rear skirt. Enjoy your ride.

 

Thanks! I have been looking at some lowering springs lately, I do not want anything to low just enough to make it flush with the wheel well, so Im still looking around.

P.S. On the red cooper in your sig is that a carbon fiber scoop? I've been looking for just a black scoop to put on mine carbon is to pricey. Know of anywhere or anyway I can get a black one thats not carbon fiber?

 

It's not carbon fiber. I went to the parts dept at MINI, picked up a non-painted scoop ~ $45, took it to a auto paint shop, ~ $40. and installation is a snap.

Good luck.

 

looks good. :smile: For lowering a slight bit, www.outmotoring.com has the Alta lowering springs on sale. I hear they are pretty good.

 

Thanks for the tip, I will look into those.

Here is another picture of my recently cleaned and armoralled interior. The thing hanging from the top of windshield is my digital compass, matches everything else very nicely.

 

where did you get the rims they look nice

 

www.summitracing.com Tons of wheels, and it also has a little selector option so you can narrow down your search. Very good prices too.
