Introducing Our New '07 MCS

Hi, NAM. Here is a pic of my new '07 MCS. I picked it up yesterday! It was one of the last '07s on the lot and exactly the color and setup I was looking for.

Names in consideration:

Shadow
Mighty Mouse
Tumbler

Been reading the forums and see a lot of mods available. Only thing I have on my mind right now is adding bluetooth.

Nice set of pictures, where was the setting? Your MINI looks great, I'm not into blacking the chrome, but it does look good when done correctly.

Awesome!!! Where (and when) did you get the AR1s in an 18"??? I want those wheels SO bad, and tirerack only has them in 17" now! Grrrrrrr!


LOL! I just realized you're in Germany. Nevermind. Shipping wheels from a shop in Europe would be outrageous!

i got these while i was still in the states. i got lucky when the tire rack had some 18's still left and they were selling them out due to asa not offering them any more. they were actually $20 cheaper per rim than the 17's. i haven't seen them for sale since.

I bought mine about a month before I even took delivery of my car. Not sure why they discontinued them.

I decided to join the very exclusive CR/B club Picked him up this past Saturday in trade for my '07 MC. Couldn't resist the lower w.a.c., not to mention the improved aesthetics (IMO!). Here he is, Nic II:
