BENTYYC, have you noticed if your spoiler helps to keep the rear clean?

Hey Greg - I love the yellow with black wheels by the way!

So by "rear" your talking about the car, right?

I haven't really been on any roads that are dusty since getting the spoiler. The drive home this afternoon will (likely) be the first with some precipitation - I'll monitor and report back...

Man, I'm loving the pics these days. Hey 888, I love your MINI but I'm kinda partial to that color combo.

Bentyyc I really have been wondering about visiting DTM to see what that would cost. I just need to decide - spoiler or roof rails!?!? So many mods, so few dollars.

I thought real black Rims match better to the black/white contrast. The Tomason' are polished, the fit on metallic Paintjob,but not on PW

Yup....same mounting and everything. I have R56 coilovers on my clubman underneath the airbags

Only issue *might* be the spring rate in the rear, but I highly doubt it. I bet the weight distribution difference between R55 and R56 is very small and wouldn't cause any problems.

With that said....KW has clubman coilovers now.

Soon. Wheels are off at the shop being drilled and I'm sitting here wet sanding the lips so I can polish them up. There's a big VW/Audi show 2 weeks from now that I've gotta prepare the car for....so it will all be ready by then (I hope).

I'm also machining some custom suspension mounts to lower the car 2 more inches

Clubman_888 I love the Bulldog, we purchased one for our daughter, to get her into the Clubman. I know I am stalking you but were you able to put TPMS on the old Tomason rims of yours?
