Yah definitely a nice clean look strom...i love your car. And it means buisness 
Hahaha, thats what your look is. It's like a hardcore sport performer under a very clean ,classy, buisness-man look.

I want to see a CR sig-woohoo. (I am working on a sig for my MU inauguration!)

I already have issues with rubbing on the fenders as my offset is about +16mm over stock. The widebody would probably only be about an inch, so I wouldn't really need that much wider wheels/tires.

I've got some ideas. The part I can't figure out so far is what width 15" wheel will fit under the rear of a lowered MINI. We've seen 18x7.5, and 17x9 in the rear. But the larger wheel just doesn't work for me on the MINI (ironic I have aftermarket 17s which I love).
Here is my inspiration:
It sports from what I can tell, 15x7 et 35 with spacers in the back--maybe 15x8 tho consider the et35. But with the stretch, the tire looks like one of those donut spares.
I have that cooper bumper still but sport the S right now. I think that cooper bumper shaved would look the shiz.

think about the math. One shouldn't worry about being different, just about doing what they want (even if it is what lots of other people are doing)

this car is pretty clean, but for some reason i don't like painted fender flares on the minis. the silver mesh looks like poo as well. i like the way the oem textured flares contrast the body.

THAT'S AN 'S' WANNABE!!!!!!!!!!! No 'S' side grills, the gas tank matches the body it's not chromed like usual, and if you look in the back, theres only one pipe on the right side for the exhaust! You're not foolin the die hards!

I am not the one that called it a POS.
I love the blue ride. I am an old vortex member and X-A3 body jetta owner (kamei / golf set-up and other goodies) as well and current pepper white s owner.
I think we are in the same realm of "taste"
Cept my MINI doesn't have stripes and is all white!

Yeah I think so, I saw something about bustin on the blue cabrio. Sorry thought that was you.
If you like euro you're ok in my book!

A cooper can be lowered and have an aero kit just as much as any MCS can.....you are making NO SENSE
