The tires are BFGOODRICH g-Force Comp2 215/45-17s mounted on O.Z. Racing Ultraleggera 17x7 black wheels (+37 offset).

It should be done Thursday, some good did come of it though. The shop is filling the holes for the badge so it'll have a smooth boot lid! There were also a few rub marks from something on top above the wing that will be gone.

This is my brother's R56 (2013). We just got it wrapped by the guys at KNAM Media in Brooklyn, NY for our Drive Against Domestic Violence.



Starting this Monday, Sept. 29, my brother and I will be driving cross-country in this very Mini to raise awareness and money for the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (www.ncadv.org) and the Face to Face Domestic Violence Surgery Program (http://www.aafprs.org/face-to-face/n...lence-project/).





We will drive from NYC to Miami to LA, and have about 14-15 stops along the way.



So far, we have gotten some coverage from Fox5 in NY (http://www.myfoxny.com/clip/10585983/botox-for-a-cause), and raised over $13,000!



You can check out more about our Drive here:

http://beverlyhillscenter.com/drivea...cviolence.html

Please meet us at any one of our events if you are nearby. We would love to meet fellow Mini-owners.



Hope to see you soon,
Nathan

That color with the black rims is so tight! You definitely made that Mini scream you! Do you have any plans to slam it?

Thanks! I run my own liquid wrapping business so it has to be a little loud haha... the plan is to drop it 1-1.5" and get rid of some wheel gap especially for shows... likely do coils so I can adjust for winter since it loves to snow in Ne Indiana!

Look rad. That orange looks like it could or should be a factory color.

I appreciate that, I was trying to do something unique but a color that was believable it could come from the factory like that.. especially with a Mini! lol
