Heres another shot of mine. This time I have the Roof Rack, and Mud Flaps installed. Of course I have my all Carbon Fiber road bike on for a test fit.

I will be tinting the windows tomorrow and hard wiring in my Escort radar detector.

Thanks! They are stock size wheels, 16 x 7. Suspension is stock also. The tires are General Altamax HP's, in 205/55-16 Stock is 195/55-16. Going to the 205 but staying with the 55 ratio (most people go 205/50) gives a 3/8" wider tire, and increases the diameter by about 1/2". The extra 1/2" gives an increase in circumference of about 1.8 percent. I have always been annoyed by the optimistic speedometer reading in my car, the 1.8 percent increase makes the speedo almost exactly correct (still reads fast by 1 mph at 75)

And, I LOVE the Generals! I'm delighted beyond words to be rid of the runflats

Hope this helps!

Jim

Yo Mortaaay, do you have stripes across the roof as well? I have a sunroof and am about to install similar stripes, but have not decided if I want to do the roof. If I did, I don't think I would do the sunroof. Mine is custom painted all Astro Black and I'm looking at a single wide, white stripe.

I really like that first pic of your clean LB Clubbie with the PW Clubbie hanging out in the background.

Yo Mortaay,
Nice to see you over here. As you can see, since I came to Mini Cooper land, I have become a knight.

Thank you. And, yes there is meaning. I would like to wait and see if there are any geeks out there that want to reveal their allegiance...

+3 geek cred to explain the stripes.
