My 2008 MC S / JCW updates

Hey everyone

I really haven't posted any pics of my mini because I been working on it for some time now, so I decided to post pics of my latest mini before I move on to change it again so I have my MC the way I wanted (which I thought) as you can see in the pics below:


Here's my interior pics, I took off the rear seats when I go tracking to make room for tools. I also matched the same material of what the floor carpet is.


Sorry for the crapy pics.

Here's my question or advice?

I added the carbon fiber wing, jcw side kidney grilles, and added the mini challenge side stickers so now I'm thinking on removing/ selling the carbon fiber wing and the carbon fiber diffuser for the M7 wing and diffuser to give it the mini challenge look. I'm also thinking of painting the roof top while with white center strips and red on the roof. But I don't know if I should go that way? What do you guys think I should do?

Oh and those wheels are temp because I just came from tracking. I took off the black jcw wheels and drop off to get them painted metallic silver.

here's some pics of me at the track. These pics are from the actual site, but I didn't want to go into my Mac and upload the once I purchase so I just copied these two to my iPad to post them. Lol so I'm not stealing them, just copied to show you guys. I'll erase after I finish posting them.
(Me and my wife)

Will update pics when I get home with the track pics.

Here's an update picture of my wheels. I believe the silver makes the black trim look better than having the black wheels with the trim.

Very nice... I like the new wheels for the street. What do you think about black wheels with a thin red line. Love the track photo too.

Thanks for your comments. Regarding the black wheels with the red line trim, I'm not to sure I'm a big fan of that. I've seen them a few minis but wasn't my thing, or it was just the mini I saw really look bad.

Not for nothing, but you used the picture, it's not yours to use, you stole it... It doesn't matter if you erased it from your computer.


Just saying.

You must get permission to post the photos or use it in anyway. Please contact the photographer ASAP.

I actually own the pictures I bought them when I was at the track. But I took them off so no one gets butt hurt. I'll post them again without the marks so we can all be happy.

I still think the black wheels looked better on this car....even if going black is the popular thing to do.
