i had a set of 18'' ASA AR1s that had some chipping so i decided to paint them flat black. very hard to do but they are clear coated too for protection. i want to eventually powder coat them but i will leave them painted for now. also i really like the OZ superleggeras too, i would recommend them in 18s.

Strange as i thought that the new Tri-Core ECU on the R56 COOPER was virtually impossible to remap . Did they use the diagnostic port or did they remove the ECU to remap it as apparently there is almost no way to Modify or replace the original map using the diagnostic port .

Not impossible my friend and yes the ECU was removed after failed attempts to remap with the diag port.
