Whoo Boy. Some Pics of the MINI

I dont usually take pictures of my car, and you can see that my diggy camera cant do a still shot without a tripod for the life of it, but since i just got the car all straightened out with the new mods, i figured why not show it off!!!

Newly installed: m7 coilovers and Aero Kit and new VA plates with tow hook mount.

Whatchu think:

SWEET!

What's the story behind the license plate?

Are those 17s or 18s?

paint match is spot on. only problem i see is a sub standard masking and paint job on the textured trim pieces. i guess thats the quality you get from the factory.

Need to find someone who can pin stripe and lay down a nice thing black line over the edges where the trim meets the silver and clear.

18s, ssr forged 17lbs each.

the plate reads phonetically FORCE FED. meaning supercharged.

too early to tell, but the rims are pretty wide and a lower offset. any rubbing and i will just raise the car up a little more. my rear wells are also trimmed out a bit from when i was running h-sport springs. those h-sports SLAM the rear of the car.

i like low, but not that low.

and i did the install myself.
