I was hoping he'd splurge for the Arqray titanium exhaust, but oh well....

"The man" refers to PGT, not me though.

Back to topic, JCW brake kit and JCW cross drill rotors it is.

Right? Playplay.

I'm looking forward into it.

By the way, I heard that Wino's mods has gone a long way since last time we met. It should be one of the faster MCSc on the island, I believe.

That's what I thought.

I might have to take the wheels off and clean the calipers every time that I wash the MINI.

Not during the installation, but when it's completed.

Here you go.

Thank you. I really really love the way it looks, really cool indeed.

After 200+ miles, it's completely bedded in, I believe.

The brake feel much firmer, nice feel indeed.

All I can say is "love it, love it, love it".

Hey Maxi if you get rid of those ugly white side markers the Mini would look ever better!

Love your car and all the JCW stuff.
