Well done...

 

If you are going with a nostalgic look, I would add a chrome grill and 16" or 15" Panasport-style wheels next. That would look sweet.

The only gripe I have is the buldge of the S hood doesn't quite match the Cooper front bumper.

 

not sure why removing the motoring badge makes it more MC

 

That's a good point - the chrome grill is standard on Coopers...

 

I know someone who has one that was taken off of a 2003 MINI Cooper. ME! Near Cincy if you are interested.

 

I don't want a chrome chrille...lol. and if there was a way to remove the S hood and still have my Top mmount intercooler I just might do it....lol

 

I thought that, too, at first, but then I realized it's because we're not used to seeing it that way.

Looks great. I too am goona be headed the stealth route soon. With a turbo and an air to water intercooler, I can get rid of the S hood too and be totally stealth.....that is until I pull on the 911 next to me at the stoplight...hehehe...
