R56 Meanest looking Cooper? Pics please
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 .

Oh yeah the Challenge car right, my bad...the GP wing kind of dips in at the top. Either way yeah good job. In regards to the rake comment I made I was referring to the pics you posted earlier from AMVIV?, for example that side shot. However I do notice it in the magazine photos too. I like how the front end sits especially from the front with the splitter, I guess maybe the rear needs to lower a little more but you're already tucking a little bit! LOL Very nice job either way though

It might be lower in the front but I do not know if we could go lower in the rear with it not rubbing . Even with two people and luggage for the SEMA show we made it back and forth to Vegas without issue but I think it is close . It sits on our coil overs so we could mess with it but the car is at the end of its lease term and is up for sale as we speak so I don't think we will be messing with it . Oh and i agree 100 % on the tiny but Peter was never in favor of it and beleive me I tried LOL. I did find a few more photos though.Randy

I haven't seen any mean R57s, out there, especially since we're in the 2nd year of production, so I'll post my work in progress here.

Thanks, RJ! Only a couple more things to do... If I add a roof spoiler, delete the egg yolks and lower it, I might just be done!
It's funny - when I built my MINI on the site, I played around with Molly's exact color scheme. It definitely could have gone either way. And now that MINI has discontinued Oxygen Blue, your car just got even more unique!

It's getting there. I still can't decide if I want to go to an aero grill or not? Any thoughts?

I wish I could see more of you car, CRoth, but the pics are small. For whatever reason, I don't like the "fish gill" grilles on the Gen 2, but on the Gen 1 they're pretty nice. And, IMHO, it looks like your wheels "work" with your current grille.
I think my favorite grille is the M7 in this pic. Very clean - especially on a PW.

But the BEST is yet to come...she got Detailed yesterday by Mini2na...https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...-here-208.html Post #5187!!
We've been together 2yrs. Tomorrow...our 2nd Delivery Anniversary!!
And on Friday to commemorate the Anniversay she will have the JCW Grill installed as well as the Chrome Line Exterior Lower Grill!!
And hopefully I'll still be able to get her some New Wheels in October, depending on the Final $$ Tally on my Surgery those may have to wait, we'll see.

Thanks Albiecrazy! I like the M7 grill also. I have read that you have to do some cutting on your car to install one though. If that's the case, I think I'll keep it the way it is.
As far as the size of my pictures go, I tried to upload them at full size but was unable to. I had to reduce them to 150 x 150 before they would be accepted. Any tips for a larger picture upload?
Thanks,
Croth

Thank you for the posistive words but if I could I would like to clarify the " cutting your car " comment . What is trimmed is actually the stock grill not actually the car . The grill like material on the stock piece is cut away and ours replaces it while using the outer edge of the stock grill as a frame as it were . Yes there is trimming , but it is only the stock piece . I hope this clarifies the issue somewhat. Feel free to call or PM if you have any other questions .
