Hey Drew, love the update

Subtle mods by themselves yet when added together they have totally transformed the look of your MINI.

Those Evoke rims are a perfect too. Where did you score those ?

Very nice... I especially like the smoked side markers. It's a subtle little touch, but very effective, especially with the color of the car.

I dig the blacked out chrome look, stealthy.

I also dig the old factory photo shoot local.

on a side note....how does your compare to the GTI?
