Introducing Saffron

Finally, I have photos to introduce Miss Saffron. We picked her up 4 Aug and 5 days later she had a clear bra and stripes put on so she is ready for unveiling. We are very happy with her!!!!!

Are you sure those are bees? Look like yellowjackets, to me. And not very Mellow, at that.

How did you get the R53 wheels to fit the R56 (12mm vs.14mm) Also, are those wheels 15", they look REAL smallish on the new, new MINI. That being said, I'm really coming around on the mellow yellow color, congrats

They are 15" wheels using 3 mm spacers on the back and the OEM lug bolts.
