I like it. I could have a custom plate "MADBEE".

 

anyone dropped theirs yet? something tells me these would look sick tucking alittle

 

Gee that looks like Pure Silver. Doesn't look warm enough to be Sparkling Silver. If it is Pure Silver, then it is just like what my car will be, PS body & roof with Crown Spoke 17" wheels.

 

Finally got around to downloading images from the camera, here she be, parked in here home on the day I installed the Mud flaps(picked her up in the beginning of March). This is truly the BEST/ Most fun car I have owned in 30 years.

 

Thats the sweetest R56 I've seen. Fandamntastic!

dean.

 

Now there's the angle of pic I was asking for! How a MINI should sit. A+

Picking up my car tomorrow. H&R's go on Monday morning.

So how much difference did you notice without a coil removed in the rear?

 

Congrats....did you also install the rear mudflaps???

Thanks.

You need to visit me on MichiganMINI.org more often!

The stock H&R springs lowered the rear end 1.0" on my non-sunroof MINI. I would guess they designed the springs for a fully-loaded Cooper S, which would have more weight in the rear of the car with the Hi-Fi amp, sunroof, leather, etc. With the 1 dead-coil cut [and the rear seats removed] the rear end is about a 1.4" drop from stock. This would be more with a fully-loaded MCS. I recommend installing the springs as-is from H&R; once they're trimmed you can't go back, lol.

Cheers,
Ryan

 

Just like everyone says man, that looks sweeeet!! question though, the plastic pieces under the front look very close to the ground, any scraping?? I think my MCS on the M7 springs is just as low, but that piece is set a little farther back so scraping is not a issue for me except when on very uneven roads.

Yes, I installed the front and rear Mud flaps.........took about 1hr and 10 minutes, You have to remove each wheel.....faster if you knew someone with a lift.....

haha ya I saw yours I was talking more on the lines of the slammed minis. you have it looking pretty sweet though

 

I feel like a little kid on Christmas day!

 

Congrats, and thanks for posting the photos. I'm also getting Pure Silver body & top. Which seat option is that? I didn't think a color line option would go well with Pure Silver, but it seems good.

 

They are the fake leather. I really like them they are very comfortable compared to the R53. Thanks for the compliment on the color line. I like it, it sets if off.

 

I picked up my new MCS today (4/7/07). Here are some pix. Ain't he beautiful?

 

warped --
very nice! i think we should start a "chrome mirrors" owners club! my (on-the-boat, making-its-way-across-the-Pond) lightning blue/black R56 will have 'em too! looks great! happy motoring!

 

yeah ... the color line looks nice .. very complimentary to the exterior. good choice!

i'm so glad i spec'ed the leatherette on my R56 -- it looks great.

 

Hi James,
Thanks a bunch for the compliments! The front air dam piece is exactly 2" from the ground. I've only scraped it once when I hastily pulled out of a driveway that was on a road that had an aggressive crowning. Otherwise it's all good, no scraping going down the road. A big reason for this is the new shape of the lower air dam versus the R53.

 

Congrats! Looks great. I look forward to seeing it around Scottsdale. Mine's a little ways away (though the boat did go through the Panama Canal today)

 

Thanks DaveCo. Lightning Blue/Black is gorgeous too. I saw one on the lot yesterday when I picked mine up.

 

Well, here she is and at 3 weeks old, very stable in her get up and go. She did run into her cousin from London last weekend.


the jpeg would not load, had to put in pdf.

 

That's a great shot! Both are beautiful.

 

Can't believe we haven't seen an Oxygen Blue yet!

Love the new colors guys...keep those pics coming!

 

Picked mine up Thursday night (4/5)!!
Finally got a few photos taken, here's one.

 

Your car is beautiful this is exactly how I want my car to look when I order it. Was just wondering are the rear seats also blue/black also?????
