Love the rotors! The S looks like it was spray painted on - the edges could use more definement.

When I went to put the "supercharged" emblem on the boot I noticed the "COOPER S" wasn't straight so I changed all the letters.I took the "S" and held it up to the outer pad and it fit pretty good.I traced the outer pad onto a piece of a Cheeze-Its box and cut it out,then traced the "S" in the middle and cut that out with a razor blade.I taped the stencil to the pad and sprayed it with some industrial type red paint.
