Did you need spacers or anything to clear the JCW brakes? How's the fitment with the OE lug bolts?

No spacers needed. Used the OE lugs. These were an easy swap for the stock challenge wheels.

Hi guys, I'm relatively new to the forum. I bought this R55 for my wife in April.

Things done since April:

Doing a full service, checking everything possible.
Lifting the car's suspension a little bit. I bought the car used. It came with a coilover, which was set crazy low.
Claybaring, polishing, waxing the exterior properly.
Replacing the stock antenna with a short antenna.
Getting new doorsills. The original door sill trims were not in a very nice condition.
Washing the interior.
Fixing the leathers.

Taking the car for a test drive on Finnish countryside roads today. (My wife has not let me drive the MINI too much since she got the keys

) Below is a picture from one of the draw bridges on the road.

With some accents :)

Wanted to do the stripes. Got lost with the color to choose and ended up with these. Oh, and the roof rack.

The correct abbreviation for an R55 is Traveller.

Thanks! Black wasn't my first choice (this is a leftover 2014) because of it being such a pain to keep clean, but boy it looks great when clean! :D
