etc,
etc,
etc,

I'll keep you guys informed! All questions will be answered!!

What do you guys think!?

Your car looks great-good work. To improve handling I suggest the M7 USS to stiffen the Body/Chassis and a 19mm swaybar. That car will drive like it's on rails.

 

Good info!! the USS is a must!!

The sway bar is cool but the install SUCKS!!

Cheers

Coen

 

ahhhhhh... Dude... your MCS was very cool... to bad though. I'm sure you will do wounders with this one . I'm getting a rental MCc next time in France... Don't you love the summer in Europe with the top down

 

I know!! But this project WILL be a succes too!! in 1,5 week my works R109's arrive and My full aero body kit with sprayed arches will be fitted!! :D AND miltek!! :D

will be a cool car dude!! :D

cheers

Coen

ps. europe.. summer is cool! Try getting to Italy! :D Lake garda (lage di garda) with top down... would be great.. going to check this out in 3 weeks!

 

Quite the handsome cool blue you have there! I can't wait to see the rest of the upgrades (says the guy with the almost completely stock cool blue....)

 

I'm sure it will look awesome as your previous MCS.

I can't be there now... have lots of work to finish and changing the company...so it's a big load on me and will be tough . My GF is living next to Nice, so Itali is a stone throw away . we'll see how it goes, but I'm renting that MCc foooo shoooo

Sorry for the pics? SORRY!!?? I can't speak for everyone, but I know I love 'em! Keep us updated! Those seats are looking awesome. Can't wait for the rims and aero kit!!

Got a name for it yet?

 

hihi no no name yet.. any ideas!!?

next sateruday it should have the rims en front bumper en skirts of the aero kit... the week after that it should have the rearbumper with a miltek exhaust :D

cheers

Coen

 

Ideas... depends. Is it a guy or a girl?

Just try some names out, if the coop doesn't like the name, it'll let you know!

 

I really, really like that color! I would have been really torn if it had been a choice for 2008. Yours is looking great!

 

Nice What size spacers did you use on the wheels?

 

thanks guys...

size spacers is 16mm :D

 

RED CALIPERS!!

tomorrow I am going to fit my R109 JCW wheels

cheers

Coen

 

Looking so good Coen....you can be sure that I'll be here watching the progress. Nice ride height

 

I want those seats.

 

Thanks rally! was thinking about you.. wanted to tip you on this thread!!

thanks for the compliment...

end of next week... aero and milltek exhaust.. and tomorrow the JCW R109's Can't wait!!!

@eager!! nice ey!!

 

You gonna paint the surrounds on the aero grille body color by any chance? I've just noticed that I REALLY like how that looks on clean rides with the aero grille

 

dunno yet.. first I'll just paint the arches and the full kit.. then I'll see what I do with the grill.. need to fit some black Driving lights too!! :D

Maybe... when it's fitted i'll photoshop it.. and when I like it.. i'll get it painted... thanks for the tip!!

 

Awesome looking cabrio! Can't wait to see what else you do with it.

I love how Euro plates look on our MINIs, they seem to flow better with the car's lines than our goofy US plates.

Are those Export plates by any chance?

 

You are right sir!
My car is from germany! So I needed to import it into the netherlands! :D Yesterday i got my Dutch plates (yellow!!!)

thanks for the compliment!! update will be tonight!

Cheers

Coen

 

I just got these in.. for in my aero kit
