The fit on the front bumper is pretty far off too....probably means non-oem rep

He changed the "boser" style hood into a verb and then put it in past tense.

A boser hood is when an extension of metal is welded on to slightly cover the edge of the headlights. It is used to alter the lines of the front hood.

Boser hood:


Stock hood

Oh. In that case, how long until someone "Bosers" an R56 hood and makes "angry eyes"?

i hope never.....i dont think it really fits the lines of the MINI

and not all look that angry/aggressive....some are more passive and some are just smoother transitions

No... but it sure would be good for laughs and the "Gotcha" factor.

Thanks for the comments. My friends car is a 1.8t, not a r32, but with a gt30 turbo upgrade.

The wing and hood scoop are factory. The wheels are 18's. Maybe they look big to you because its lowered so much, plus parked on grass? Not into Subaru's I guess.

I think the implication was that even though the FMIC might be stealth, there's really no way that an STI - especially in the blue/gold scheme - is ever going to be considered stealth.

I see your point, but its not a STi or even a WRX for that matter. Just a 2.5RS (non-turbo), the model before the WRX came out. It does have a WRX engine swap though. I can see how someone would just assume its a STi because of the color scheme, I get it all the time...

They are the piaa driving lights. I covered the lens with some yellow headlight film I got off eBay. I wanted yellow lights so I just made my own, works for me. Thanks for the comments once again, Christian.
2 more pics...

Today 06:55 PM155hey, what springs are u running in Mini?
H and R coilovers. I love them!!!! I have about a half inch left to go down in the rear, and the front was not touched, just installed. Don't want to go any lower, only because i don't want the dealer to mind

I was so right Mike lol...I knew they didn't come with HID's lol. However he has either a. Joey modded the oem's or b. got .:R32 or 20thae lights

Also, here is a pic of my buddies JettAr he just sold to some guy out in MA last week....or the guy who I just quoted hehe


Also to the OP, I'm loving the CV's on the Mini. They suit it very well.

I would really think about it but work is so busy, I could never take any time off. I wish I could go, sounds like a great time.

Sounds like a job for some one with some photochop skills.


Which is not me.
