Photoshop Help? - F56 & BBS Wheels

Guys,

I was hoping someone could perhaps do a photoshop for me?

I have ordered a new F56 and I have a set of BBS RC's in 5x120 fitment left over from my 1 series. I never got round to putting them on the Beemer, but I want to get them powdercoated white & stick them on the MINI!

Here are the best shots of a F56 I can find... (It's not mine, but it's the same colour combo that I've orders except I've gone for 18" wheels in white)

The wheels:

Can someone do me a massive favour & shop the wheels onto the car & maybe also lower it a little too?

Thanks in advance!!

Guys,

I need another favour, but it seems pointless starting a new thread!!

The BBS wheels have had to be sold (wrong PCD it turned out!) so I have now ordered some new wheels.

Can someone do the same PS as above for me (with the car lowered) but with these wheels instead.

I would be very grateful

here's what it would look like. If you show me a photo of what a lowered Mini looks like to you, I can work on that too.
Hopefully the images aren't too large.

Bad news - F56 uses 5x112 bolt pattern, so 3-series wheels wont fit.
Countryman/Paceman use a 5x120 pattern, while the F56 uses 5x112.

There are a few threads on this subject in F56 forums. Read towards the end where guesses end and truth emerges:

Why MINI choose the Audi/Merc/VW pattern over BMW's is beyond me. Very inconsistent and frustrating, but that's how it is.

Thanks for the post - but I already knew that

The 5x120 wheels were sold and I bought some Speedline's in 5x112 flavour!

I agree though - very strange of MINI to go down the 5x112 road!!
