Any more pics of your Mini? Love to see some more of the front...
Am trying to decide if I want to black out the lights/rings to match my JCW grille.

Wow. THAT mini is owned by a girl. Wow.
Awesome!! What a lucky boyfriend you have.

How low do you want to go? If you wanna go SLAMMED then go coilovers... If you want an easy lowering, go H&R. In my (humble) opinion, they make the best.

Hey! its AstroB from SIZE.
Go with coilovers, possibly H&R.

We have a sponsor for our club locally and they can hook you up with H&R Coilover.

Car's looking good

Congrats!!! Very nice. I love the factory aero kit! In fact, I am planning to order my next MINI with it.

Can you do us a favor and post a couple more pics from the front and back at a low to mid angle so that we can see how these bumpers cover the underneath portion of the car?

Big congrats. Hahaha, I thought the same thing after vowing 10 years ago to only be an AMG owner. Gas prices won out; car will pay for itself in 120K miles over the mileage I'd get w/another AMG...

BTW, white with white wheel arches look soooo hot with black rims... hint, hint...

So true!!!!! Congrats, LOVE the color!! Oh, I remember when I got my Mini. Seems like only yesterday....

Btw, get some silver bulbs for the white turn signals. They will make your orange DISSAPEAR... (like magic .)

Heres a link were you can buy them http://www.stealthauto.com/Departmen...lth-Bulbs.aspx
