Brother and Sister

Just arrived a little sister (MINI Cooper) for my big brother (MINI JCW).

Nice garage set. Maybe they should be cousins though.

Very nice! It's interesting to see the comparison of the two next to each other.

Weird, but the wheels on the Cooper look larger than the 18" cup spokes on the JCW! Could they be 19" wheels?

Just think it’s down to perspective from being nearer, they are both 18”
The copper wheel is a MINI Yours Vanity Spoke 2-tone, 7 1/2J x 18", tyres 205/40 R18 runflat tyres.
Must admit they are a very nice looking wheel

Really like those "MINI Yours" wheels

The front grille/end of the Cooper looks great with the chrome. Makes the JCW front look pretty "busy" with the 5 holes. I bet the Cooper is a gas to drive with the manual tranny. Nice wheels too.

Must admit the copper is just as much fun as the JCW. As for looks, like the saying goes. More is Less.
There is something about the clean lines of the Cooper, and the wheels do just finish things off.

I really like how the front end of the F56 Cooper looks.
