Some new night pictures

Just thought I would share some pics I took tonite of my mini. It was just a point and shoot night so nothing great. I lowered the car some more today, just enough to where I can't put my shoe under the front splitter I hope you enjoy... Christian.

Silver really is the best color for the aero kit.

You have some nice toys btw.

Thanks for the good comments guys! Kinda thought no one would like how low the car is, guess not. Or they are keeping the comments to their self. I love it, won't have it any other way. It's lowered on H&R coilovers with about a 3/4th's to go up front and maybe a half inch in the rear. Something is wrong though as per my new post in the suspension forum. Now that I have lowered the car a little more there is some serious vibrations from up front to the point where I can't even do 65-70. People seem to think it has to do with the angle of the axles thats causing this vibration, this sucks. Any ideas. I guess my car will never leave town again

How you manage not to get tickets in NJ?

BMW: No front Plate.

Mini: No front plate, Over due Inspection, Ilegal BBS sticker blocking drivers view.

Tundra: to far away to tell but I bet it has no front Plate.

How do you manage not to kill the ground effects on the fine NJ roads with the car that low?

BTW nice ride love the the color and look.

beautiful stance! I'm assuming those are coilovers. LOVE the BBS wheels....but I personally think the BBS decal is a little overpowering and takes away from the look.

man the aero kit looks incredible in silver!

Perhaps the OP is a cop, or has friends in high places

Either way the car looks sick and it would look great with a dark tint.

Haha, no I'm not a cop or even someone that has a friend in a "high place". I just don't drive like a *** anymore I guess. Its hard with the M5, but with the mini and my other lowered cars you really can't drive to hard or fast in NJ. You have to watch where you are going and whats ahead of you in the road. You have to be on the look out for pot holes, uneven areas, and small stones . Front plates? Never on my cars, I hate how it looks and I'm not drilling into my front bumper. I'm never doing anything wrong while driving so I guess and hope the cops just look the other way although I can't say I have never got the "no front plate ticket"
