Here are pictures of my new MINI Cooper S. I picked the car up on Wednesday but haven't had good picture taking weather until today. No mods yet.

Thanks! The red leather interior was my biggest worry. I knew I liked the Black Lounge Leather, but I wanted to break up the White and Black with a third color. I'm really happy with the results!

you may be better just saving up to get the coilovers. the stock dampers aren't made to work with shorter springs so after about a year they will probably be blown and you will have to replace them.

I'll second that motion. That was my other choice of interior scheme. I almost went for it and love every on I've seen since.

it's been awhile since i've posted a picture of my 07 Lightning blue MINI Cooper S. since the last time i've posted i've almost completed the blacken out of the chrome, still need to do the beltline, and i've put new rims on it today.

so here is the update picture (not a good shot and the MINI is a little dirty, needs to be washed)
