Thanks. H&R 12mm front, H&R custom milled down 8mm in the rear. Perfectly flush, no rubbing. It really finished it off.

Sweet. I'm planning on getting some new wheels but while I work on choosing the wheels I want, spacers will definitely set the car off. Car looks great!

Funny you said that because here everyone wants to get rid of it and put the Cooper S one...

Ñot my favorite MOD to swap this hood for the Cooper S one.

I see you went with the ExtremeContact DWS's... GOOD CHOICE!! I have those as my "winter tires" and the DW's as my "summers". IMHO... best tires for the $$.
