I had them custom made at SoCal Wraps. I took in some pics and after several iterations, they got them right. They did the bonnet, boot, and sides.

Took delivery of a 2016 Cooper S 4 door last night.
Thunder Grey with matching roof
Black Stripes
Sport Package with the 18 inch wheel option, Cold Weather Package, and JCW Interior package.

This is our 3rd Mini. We previously had a 2008 Cooper S, 2013 Countryman S All4, and now the 4 door S.

I've already ordered some 15mm spacers for the rear from Mini Mania which hopefully arrive soon.

Love these cars.

Next up is window tint and wheels.

I'm also going to ditch the chrome gas cap cover and go with either piano black or red.

Is it possible to convert a none S to something in the photo? Can I just get a S exhaust and S rear bumper? Any thoughts?

Oh damn, I'd love that spoiler. I was just thinking this morning how much I'd like to get a first gen GP spoiler for my F56.

It seems the 4 door has the rear wheels really tucked. Guessing it's something about the extra doors body line. I'll post some before and after once installed.

Honestly I have no idea anymore. The rears are as low as I can go and still have travel in the suspension. The fronts have lots of room left for lowering more.
