HI! New Member Here with a Request.

I am in the process of configuring my MCS for order and was just wondering if anyone had a picture of a pepper white MCS with a black roof. I am debating whether to go color matched or black roof and I havent seen a pepper white around at any of the dealers locally to do a comparison. I am ordering it with the JCW aero kit and was also wondering if I should do the JCW suspension or just go aftermarket. I dont plan on tracking the car, I just want to lower the car a bit so it doesnt look like a 4x4. Thanks in advance for any and all input.

You should go the the MINIUSA site and build one. Or you could just look through the GALLERY on people's posts there is sure to be a PW/B combo or a PW/PW one.

I have one built out in both combos on miniusa, but I would like to see an actual picture of a car with the combo, because the site only provides the two angles of the car and I'm sure someone on here has way better pictures that shows the car .

Sweet!! Appreciate it, much better than looking at it on Miniusa. Anybody got it with the color matched roof and mirrors?

Perfect... Thanks. I am going with the JCW kit, but I am unsure if I am going to color match the fenders. Anybody know how much it would cost to paint the fenders as well? If I dont color match the fenders do you guys think it would flow better with a black roof, to go along with the dark fenders?

That's one of the things I like about my color combo. It's already black and white so having the black fendors doesn't offend me as much. I used to be all into color matching everything but I think I just appreciate the designed contrast more now.

I like the wheels on that PW/PW above. And the black side scuttles.

FWIW, I'm thinking about lowering options, too, but I don't think the factory kits lower enough. It'd be rough to drop all that cash and still have it look like a 4x4.

Oh, morgiea4, where in socal are you? If you're close I don't mind swinging by so you can see the coop in real life. I'm in the Irvine area.

Ya, I hear ya. I think I might just go the aftermarket lowering way, because I think the JCW suspension lowers the car only .50 inch (please correct me if I'm wrong). I'm going with the 17 inch web spokes on mine and I think it would look really nice with the perfect drop. Btw, I live in the Rancho Cucamonga area, thanks for the offer.

This thread has a PW/B with the JCW aero kit. Looks great. I'm curious if it adds weight? If it does, is it a functional aero kit? Regardless, it does look great.
