i especially like those mugen rims (or are they rota?) either way. i still like em.

Nice pics! Thanks for sharing. Maybe we'll see each other on one of these Tidewater road systems soon, or at a local Mini event.

Enjoy that Mini to the fullest and do some safe motoring along the way!

I took the eyelids off because the vinyl was not strong enough. My friend was nice enough to custom make them for me!

Hey, i see you in Newport News all the time, im all about your car man.
Everytime i see you your driving the hell out of it. Respect.
I just bought a MCS, IB/W with white wheels, used to drive the green lowered 96' Jetta.

Shoot me a PM next time you go out. I need to meet more area people that actually mod their MINIs!
