Thanks Sketch, the joey mod is one of my favorites and it wasn't as difficult as I first thought it would be to do... Your car looks awesome too

Thanks!

Tenzo M's... 17x7 on 205/40...

Yeah, it's on a H&R drop... Those pics were taken after I had dropped and mounted the tires on....

Best thing was I didn't have to install control arms... Rear camber was at spec... Front was fine also... Just minor toe & caster adjustments in the front...

Car is starting to settle more also... Gap has narrowed even more the past week....

Okey dokey

The wheels are ATS DTM's 17x7.5 with a 42 mm offset & I put JCW centers on them. I also put the slotted and drilled rotors on the front while I was painting the calipers red. If you look closely you can see them in this pic.

and finally


Hope you like them
Nice pics, its nice to see other ppl that spend 4+ hours making the paint look better than it did in the factory. Also love the jcw front end on the justacooper, would love to see whole kit. Pricey though.
Question: Where did you get your headlight and taillight surrounds, are they vinyl or painted?

+1!

Is that concrete cut to look like brick, or is that actual brick? Either way... it's gorgeous and I am now considering it for our driveway!
