Modding my R57!!

Well, after a month and a half of owning this car, the mod itch caught up to me fast!!

Today, I had the JCW brake upgrade, Team Dynamics 1.2 wheels, DDMWorks race intake, and Mach V springs installed. I am so happy with the performance and looks that each component did for my car. Here are some photos from my iPhone.

Thanks Jeremy! I've looked into many springs/coilovers and decided on these for now since it drops the car at exactly the height I want and the ride still feels great!! Dan and the guys at Mach V are awesome as well. I will be installing the H-sport rear sway this week as well.

The Mini is so much fun to mod and it doesn't cost an arm and a leg to do it either!!!
