I'm personally digging the JCW paintball gun option in picture #3!
Is Mini including that in the James Bond license plate package now?

Anyways, sweet pics, can't wait to see the finished product!

Would you consider painting the arches for other people? I've been looking to do exactly what you've done for a while now. What kind of expense would I be looking at?

those aero kit lowers are gonna take a beating. Esp when your coilovers lower your ride even more.

How are you going from a Corvette to a Mini?

Still have the Vette...we have our Vette lowered to 2" above the ground and I have no problems. I will play with the ride height on the Mini and get it to where its just right. We also have great roads where I live. I have a buddy who has his MCS lowered...a lot and he does not have any issues.

Congrats Red Bull! We are all excited to see your finished product!
It is gonna look sweet with those painted black trims... BTW, are you going to paint your tailight surrounds black to match the headlight surrounds?

Congrats Tygo.....Get the name of the boat your Mini is on and you can drive yourself crazy following it until it gets to your port...if you need any info on how to track it I made a post with a link, it is for the shipping company W&W but there is another shipping company that I dont know the name of that also does transport. I am sure a NAM member can help you if you need info..

How did you paint your wheel arches so smoothly? You must have experience... I want to look into some shops to get it done myself. I wonder how it would look on a PW/B?....

Not an easy process........takes a lot of time and experience to do it right and make it last. We happen to have a custom paint shop. Think it would great on PW...I also like the constrast of black against the white.

My stupid little wings in front of the front tires keeps getting ripped off and my car isn't even lowered. :( My brother hands me the piece and says, "uh, your car was falling apart in my drive way..." Stupid brother LOL

YIKES....how are the roads where you live? You can barely put a foot under the front lip on my car and I haven't done any damage yet..almost 2 years. I will be doing a road trip up the east coast the forst week of December..I will bring it up a little before I go...should have most of my mods done by then.

I love a car slammed to the ground....just think it gives it a nice look
