Thought I'd post this here as well as in the parts needed thread so here goes. If anybody has an extra hood scoop for an R53 after maybe upgrading to a carbon fiber or other scoop, I'd be interested in buying it as mine flew off at the track yesterday.

sorry, it took me a few days to get the side view up, lowered the MINI in the process, this pic was taken minutes after the lowering, since then it's settled even more....major rub
I'll be dremeling the back fenders on the inside this afternoon to stop that little issue

In celebration of fresh brakes, the loan payoff, and it's first long roadtrip with me, it was time for a mini photo shoot.

That's ok, I'll let him since I know where he lives
I agree! I loved the backdrop, especially since those garages seriously are made only for MINI sized vehicles.

Did you get a wave? Some classic owners don't exactly like the new MINI's.

I know you guys might like this...
I got my new tires put on a set of hollies I had laying around.
Don't complain about my wheel gap, the spacing between the tire and the fender trim is even all the way around the applicable circumference of the tire. I'll never lower it.

True. Also some new MINI owners don't exactly like the newer MINI.
