If you're talking about an unpainted CF front end, dopamine has one. Maybe he'll post a pic. If not, I'll dig one up later.

TSW Softcore suspension lowered the car about 1.5 inches.

Those are 15 inch wheels.

p.s. Cleaning the outside of my car is not a priority.

same exact style rim in 16's is gonna be hard to find for 4x100....they only made one model for the M3's of the time and the sets go for $2500+ in bad condition and they're super rare

Thanks for the compliment

Rally, those are GREAT shots. Stance is perfect. and....I love that you finally got the center caps on

does this mean we can post pics of our lowered R50s in this thread, even though it is an MCS thread?

Here's a comparison shot between my R53 and a fellow MichiganMINI'ers new R56 that he hasn't lowered yet. The difference is quite apparent!
