the wing is apr, i bought it from a member fitted on an r53...then had to buy a stock cooper spoiler from another member...and voila...its alot wider than most cf wings availabe, it stretches almost the width of the car

i ordered my coils this morning from you actually, i was outta town and was hoping to get the 17% i saw last week, but the lady told me i missed it :/ hope i get it before friday.

Didn't like the 15" OEMS on my 2008, so finally was able to get new ones. These are the Konig Britelights (15x6.5) with Bridgestone Potenza RE960 AS Pole Position 195/60/15 tires.

Thanks guys

I have a set of Rays that are waiting for tyres so may just put the Parada Spec 2's on them and put Toyo's on these as the Toyo's have a more rounded shoulder giving more clearance.
