Mike,
Those stripes look great. I'm teetering between DS and PS only after I saw pics of your car.

off topic:
That M Coupe looks really familiar. I rode in this car, owned by a local Virginia car enthusiast forum member, a while back

you should gett off your butt ....but I'm actually working on some VERY slightly wider rear arches at the moment as well

I think I'm totally fine on the fronts though....no need to go wider. Just need it on the rears to fit the 8.5's.....so you should offer the option to just buy the fronts (for BBK owners who need to use spacers) or just the rears (for whoever runs wider rears)

Rally your MINI is looking awesome, congrats! A bit more negative camber in back so you can get that tread to tuck and then another inch lower and you'll be mega-hottness!

Gnatster-I see that you still have the BBS's. Those look great. Did you ever get rid of the Fiske Mach V's, were they?

The Mcoupe belongs to a buddy off mine and MikeG4572 but I think my buddy bought the HRE off the car in the pix. My friends coupe has no sunroof. Small world
