What is it?

Could it be the Euro plate?

Edit: (Probably not...I think NY requires front plates...)

The plate was added by the photo editor.

They even removed the valve stems!

Nope.

The wheels are different in picture 8 because that is the mockup of the ad.
Also the ad mockup dosen't have a rear view mirror and it does have an antenna.

The antenna was photo shopped out.

There is (this is a clue) no scoop because my car is a Cooper.

Happy Motoring,
Jack

Just saw this thread for the first time...

This one's easy. The clear side turn signal. Coopers come with amber ones, Ses come with clear ones.

(at least in the 1st Gens)

Congrats on your awesome swag!

(BTW, I renamed the thread with "Ultimate" instead of "Untimate" because it appeared to be a typo... if I am wrong and you wanted to keep it Untimate, let me know and I'll change it back)

So the secret behind a great shine is a giant white sheet and a $1,000 version of photoshop...

So I recognize the studio in your pictures. That's the same studio where my cat was photographed for some pet products...twice! For a while the cat was earning its own keep!

Correct and thanks for fixing the title.

The shine on the car comes from a good washing, a rub with a clay bar, 2 coats of Zymol topped off with a coat of quick wax at the studio and some Black Wow on the rubber.

Thanks to everyone for the complements.

Happy Motoring,
Jack
