Heres another shot of mine. This time I have the Roof Rack, and Mud Flaps installed. Of course I have my all Carbon Fiber road bike on for a test fit.

I will be tinting the windows tomorrow and hard wiring in my Escort radar detector.

Thanks! They are stock size wheels, 16 x 7. Suspension is stock also. The tires are General Altamax HP's, in 205/55-16 Stock is 195/55-16. Going to the 205 but staying with the 55 ratio (most people go 205/50) gives a 3/8" wider tire, and increases the diameter by about 1/2". The extra 1/2" gives an increase in circumference of about 1.8 percent. I have always been annoyed by the optimistic speedometer reading in my car, the 1.8 percent increase makes the speedo almost exactly correct (still reads fast by 1 mph at 75)

And, I LOVE the Generals! I'm delighted beyond words to be rid of the runflats

Hope this helps!

Jim

Yo Mortaaay, do you have stripes across the roof as well? I have a sunroof and am about to install similar stripes, but have not decided if I want to do the roof. If I did, I don't think I would do the sunroof. Mine is custom painted all Astro Black and I'm looking at a single wide, white stripe.

Yo Mortaay,
Nice to see you over here. As you can see, since I came to Mini Cooper land, I have become a knight.

Thank you. And, yes there is meaning. I would like to wait and see if there are any geeks out there that want to reveal their allegiance...

+3 geek cred to explain the stripes.
