New shoes on

I took a few pictures from the back showing how flushed the wheels are. They look slightly popped out but once I have the JCW body kit on & a 1.25" drop, it will be sitting perfectly flush.

How new does it have to be to be an absolute black? How about old as they come, a 2002? C from Newport.

In 2002 the black color for MINI's was Jet Black. This is the R60 or Countryman section of the forum FYI, but I don't mind helping. My R53, a 2003 MCS was Jet Black.

The tint is 3M 20% all around. Check out the "Countryman Photos" thread stickied at the top of the forum. I posted some more pics, including a close up of the red thing on mah grill!
