Im on vmaxx's with -3.5 chamber on the backs. I run 17x7 +35. If you havent slammed it before you will rub the inner plastic fender and the felt like top until its gone/ learns to leave your wheels alone.. I havent had any damage just the rubber strip under the front lip has wear.

Adjustable end links or anything? Just tryin to get the whole setup done at once. And thanks for the extra pictures. My email's dorr.caleb@gmail.com if you have any more you wouldn't mind sending. Oh and p.s. you're astro black right? The pictures looked that way, just wanted to make sure. I love the color.

Here is my 2011 Pepper White MINI.

Its my second MINI, this time I went for the S and don't regret it at all!

I had the roof painted with mirror caps to pepper white from black, and had the JCW Aero kit installed and painted as well. Threw on the Laurel Edition Stripes on it and finished it off with some R113's.

My '09 Astro Black MC. JCW grills and surrounds, blacked out beltline and S 8 spoke wheels. I just bought it a few months ago so I'm considering if I want to do some graphics on it. I'm leaning towards a sort of Lotus F1/John Player Special gold accents, red mirrors, gold wheels. Still thinking about it though...

Here are a few pics of my '09 Astro Black MCS that I have modified. I have owned it since April 2, 2012.
