It was given away with State Farm insurance policy holders a few years ago.

I've got a perfect condition one I bought from a fellow member but have yet to use...lol.

Why so sensative LOL

If you insist here are a few of Peter's R -56. Yellow can look good too.

This is sweet!

I remember there is a fully blacked out R56 MCS w/JCW Aero Kit with CCW rims. His car is also very nice.

That looks even better with your replica GP wing! Got any more pics you can post of the photoshoot? I do think you have a little too much rake though no? Maybe you were going for that look but I think the front could get picked up a bit or maybe lower the rear some more....

Just my $.02

I almost forgot to mention that once the scoop was on, I definitely didn't see any need to go all the way down. It seemed that the scoop kind of tied in the stripes.

Except the back... looks kind of lonesome without stripes all the way down. Maybe I'll install some just to see what it looks like.

If you tossed the eyecandy(splitter,diffuser and graphics ) it would look much much better .

Magazines have content that is tailored for the dumper .

Taste varies for sure but I dont think it is fair to call wind tunnel tested aero pieces eye candy

Thanks for the nice comments I will dig up some more shots later .The wing was actually inspired by the unit that Mini designed for the Challenge cars but is not available to the general public. That picture was the last taken for the day and it was so dark out I can't beleive it even came out . The sun had completely set by then. As for the rake it may have been that the car was on some un even tarmac but the other shots will show us what the deal is .

A friendly reminder when commenting on other peoples cars, opions are allowed, but disrespect is not.

RESPECT
When posting, both members and vendors must ALWAYS be respectful of fellow members and vendors. Personal attacks, trolling/baiting, deliberate antagonizing, and flaming will not be tolerated. If you feel you are being attacked, report the post or private message rather than replying or flaming back. However, do not use the report bad post feature to "cry wolf" when you are in fact the instigator of the demise of a discussion. Doing so will result in an infraction or strike.
