Very Niiiiice

I'd lose the sticker on the windshield, there's no need to spell it out when the car speaks for itself.

Welcome!
Very Nice!
You running 19's or is your R53 lowered?
You really pushed every aspect of styling.
Can you give your Wheels stance specs.
Really like the agressive look.

Thanks so much for the positive comments! Of what started out as a daliy driver (other car is way to much to drive everyday!!!) has quickly become my favorite car ever. I was not going to mod this car when I bought it, and you see where I am at now, and Iam not done. As far as a mod list goes I've installed 17'' BBS CV wheels with pirelli run flats, H and R coilovers, Alta rear sway bar, alta air intake, alta intercooler diverter, m7 strut tower plates, oem aero kit, m7 front carbon fiber lip, jcw carbon mirrors and hatch handle, invidia titanium exhaust, rear back up light, piaa fog lights, iPod interface, jcw shift boot and e-brake boot, auto-up window switch and I think thats it. Looks like I gotta buy more stuff, hahaha.

How'd you attach the front splitter, the M7 one, doesn't it have two rods and go into the bumper?

It bolts from under the bumper also. I was not sure how I liked the look of the adjustable rods so I installed the splitter without them and I think it looks better this way. Just my opinion or style though.

Wow those wheels look excellent on your mini! i'm a big BBS fan. I'm saving to get a set of RGRs on mine. Had them on my older car and loved them.


Are the CV rims forged as well?
