What size tires are those? They look beefy!

Looks damn cool to me

Nice.

Thought about running 225/45 17 all around on my car but I don't think the coupe can pull it off since it looks a lot smaller compared to a hatch.

I am sure someone in this forum has already done it. I'd love to see what it would look like.

That's a fantastic car. The red roof is so bold on a PW - I don't know that I could pull it off. Congrats on bada$$ ride! Where'd that sweet Mellow Yellow go? Trade it?

Thanks Albie. Unfortunately the MY had to be lemon'd. It was fun while I had it though. Wasn't even sure if I was gonna be back on a MINI again. Wifey didn't but I convinced her with a JCW.

Albie,

We got around 14" here locally. There were some places on the island with over 2 feet but we had about 2 hours of rain which held our totals down. Was outside when the most wicked snow lightning flashed less than a mile from my house. Unreal!!!

Albiecrazy-- Sweet look and cool pic! Where'd you pick up your stripes? The current set on my MCS have cracked and now looking for a replacement. Bummer, but with new stripes, now it'll be like I get a new car ::

Thanks, man. Yeah, I don't see too many checkered side scuttles - I even de-yoked mine, ha! Love your sig - way to take it down a notch!

Thank you! Since I had to have the bonnet and front bumper replaced and painted, those stripes are painted and clearcoated. Probably any vinyl shop could replicate them - 15" center stripe, 1/2" pin and 1/2" gap. Yep - it is like having a new car!
