Yes, as Vic stated, it's the Justa (Standard Cooper) hood and bumper.

My bad. I've been focusing on the "S" body which i am looking to buy. I do like the simplistic look of your front bumper vs the "S". I do not like the "huge" intake section (if that's what it is) on the "S" front bumper. Is that an aero lip on the front bumper?

On my car, specifically? It's completely stock, but it does seem like the lower lip of the bumper sweets forward a bit more because it doesn't have the squarish inlets down low that the S bumper has.

I do think Marco Polo's car earlier in this thread had a front lip on his Cooper S bumper.

Thanks to Dave at 129Slayer.com for this lovely photograph. Thanks too for an hour of pleasant conversation, and many good stories!

My 2015 F56 Cooper S! Black roof, mirrors, and bonnet stripes. Black 17" Cosmo wheels. I have added genuine Carbon fiber emblem overlays from CARBONMINI, as well as a Carbon fiber fuel cap. I got rid of the chrome head and tail light trim and replaced with black. I also got rid of the red vinyl from the "S" emblem and replaced with black vinyl.









carbon fiber emblems from CARBONMINI

Here's Witchiepoo. Picked her up at the end of June. Still working out the details of my roof graphic and stripes so will hopefully be posting updated pics soon.




First mod was the door lamps.

Haw.

That's a Killboy shot. Both Killboy (as I understand it, the original) and 129Slayer now have several photographers on the Dragon. Both are good, and friendly. I hope there's enough business for both to flourish, as there certainly seems to be enough people and the Lord knows there are enough corners.

That Justa is one sneaky-fast car with the Sport Suspension and good rubber. The "crash part" knuckles give me 1 degree of negative camber, and the car rotates well and does not push - particularly under braking (within reason). The whole deal is confidence inspiring.

From the photographers' perspective I imaging seeing that car come down a wiggly hill in 3rd and then drop to a 5k 2nd gear braking area with the nose planted before turning in - and all the while that car is pointed exactly at the photographer's position and coming at 70-55 miles per hour into the brake zone must be a little bit worrisome. I'd worry about it myself anyway.

Anyway, nice shots!

Cheers,

Charlie

(If you are curious about Dragon Tales - they're here).



I see the apex - finally! ;-)

I keep meaning to do some rolling shots. I really need to get on that. Not enough movement in this thread.

I cut off the muffler and welded in a straight pipe. I haven't had a chance to weld tips on yet.
