That is sweet, love the stance. Have any front view shots of JCW lip? (nevermind saw your thread on KWs)

Waiting "patiently" for my AB CM!
Hi all! I ordered my AB CM on July 24th. Unfortunately, the plant closed down for a 2 week holiday so I'm still waiting for him to be born. I've really enjoyed looking at all the wonderful photos of your CMs and I can't wait to join in on all the fun!

Welcome to the club, waiting can be extremely painful, but it does give you the opportunity to buy gifts in preparation for the homecoming

Thanks! The good news is ASK MINI now says the estimated completion date is August 22nd which is one day sooner than they said last week.

Funny you should mention buying gifts because I was just looking at those go badges. I might have to invest in some adornment for my Brixton.

i plan on painting mine with krylon or rustoleum "plastic paint", whichever is the closest match to the mini white

i have used the krylon plastic paint before, it holds up very well, 10+ years so far on the front license plate holder on my sonoma p/u with no touch ups

Two brothers sleeping on the parking lot. Funtik - little crazy piglet from Russian cartoon "The Adventures of Funtik" - (the small, my wife's) and Neb aka Nebuchadnezzar - Morpheus's spaceship from Matrix (the big, mine). Still require a lot of work and mods. I like them plain black without any stripes, but I will mos def play with tech add-ons.

jbcola, that looks great. Finally an R60 that actually looks lowered.

How does it drive at that height? Do the tires rub on bumps? Your tires look pretty low profile so I'm guessing they're probably not 40 series like most of us run on 19s. I believe you used to run 235/35/19 with your old wheel/suspension setup, is that what these are as well?

Yep, 235/35-19 Pirelli Corsa in front (semi slick), Hankook @ the back.
The ride is like any MINI with coilovers, My wife says the ride is good so i don't discus!
