Photoshoot of My GF's 2007 R56 MINI Cooper

It's so beautiful! Nice car and pictures!

Btw is that a full SuperSprint set up? or only Catback

Whoa! That looks absolutely amazing. Congrats :)
Is there an audio clip around for that exhaust?

Great shots! Awesome job....and question - on the multifunction buttons of the steering wheel, did you get some decals for them? The barely-there appearance of the stock buttons is troublesome from time to time (phone button, for example).

I believe early 07's MFSW came w/ black decals.

Wow thats clean, my favorite part are the lug nuts, what brand are they?

Wonderful photos! But, I'm wondering how you were able to get the last to shots of the vehicle in motion? I'm really interested in getting similar images of my friend's vehicle (it's not a MINI, though - it's a GT-R). I do have a dSLR, and I do know how to use it, but I'm wondering how those shots were staged? Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Great Car and Great Shots!

They're made by the people who make the wheels he has. VOLK / Rays Engineering

Awesome!!! Big fan of color choice :)

The car is wicked haha! Great photography! I love the rims too:thumbsup:

so what are your wheel/tire size/offset??? Springs or coilovers?

thanks
J

Very very nice ride! How'd u manage to cut the stripes so well around the logos?

Early 08's did as well (March 08), I do not like the naked MFSW, it does not coordinate well with the Steering Wheel at all!! :no:

Any chance of some wallpaper-size links? 1920x1200 perhaps? :)

Awesome shoot! (I had no idea the MFSW decals had changed - mine are black like the ones in the shots.)

She's a beauty! :thumbsup:

Was this photoshopped ? It looks like the white stripes are floating above the paint with a drop shadow underneath.
Very sharp car & some nice photography.

Nice job on the mods. The car looks fantastic! Like all the pics. I think I would really like the first one best but it looks like the sun is just a bit too bright and washes out the vibrant colors that show up in the rest of the pics. Not trying to nit pick, or be negative. Nice work!:thumbsup:

Great photos, all. Love the action shots, especially.

Guys, thanks so much for the kind words! We realli like the car now too! It is a huge step from the stock look.

The Supersprint is only the muffler. We only wanted the car to sound a little louder and also have nicer exhaust tips. I was going to get full exhaust but my gf will only be driving the car for one more year so I don't think it's worth the cost.

Sorry we did not take any vids of it. It doesn't sound much louder than stock though. Just gives it a nice deep growl.

Thanks! We love the small details that are on the car too! They lug nuts are from Rays.

I did not take the pictures myself. It was done by Vividlight Photography in Toronto. They are amazing people to work with. For these type of rolling shots, a camera rig must be utilized. The car is actually moving at a very slow pace. If I remember correctly, I was only driving at a speed of 6km/h to 10km/h the most.

The wheels are Volks CE28N in white time attack. I think it was supposed to be a Honda special edition. However with the help of Simon@Rennspec in LA, I was able to get them for the Mini. I forgot my tire sizes though... lol We are lowered on H&R springs.

I got the stickers from Simon@Rennspec and then had Shinzowerks do the install for me. I have no idea how they did that so perfectly!

I believe all the pictures went under some post-editing. I did not take the pics so I am not sure what was done to them. Sorry couldn't help.

Dude that is one good looking mini! When you say the lugs came from Rays, can you be a bit more specific? My friend's got a pink set on his S2k and lost one so he needs a replacement. Plus I may like a set :D :roll:
