How is the JCW suspension? Do you have the shock and JCW spring combo? Even though it says it lowers by only .4", it looks great! What size are your wheels and tires?

A few photos I took of my MINI over the weekend. Recently got the JCW Stage 1 tuning kit, thrilled with it - worth every penny

Are the black rings around the headlights aftermarket? Or did you paint the rings yourself? That looks REALLY good!

EDIT: Hmm, looks like the grill isn't stock too, right?

Thanks

An aftermarket company near me called modnmini painted the rings for me, they are doing the headlight washers and taillight rings for me next. The grill is the standard Cooper S grill (not JCW or aero grill)

That's great! Thanks. I've seen just a normal Actual Size decal, but I like the one you have. BTW, great picks. Beautiful car. I can't wait to get mine and show the world.

DUDE! That is the sweetest '08 JCW-modded machine I've seen yet. I love it! You've got a great eye for style.

Welcome to the Brotherhood of JCW!

Soooo pretty. I saw one just like yours at the local chat and chew this morning and was astounded by the richness of the paint under a dawn/sunrise sky. What a sweet color .. it has so much character, and I love the web spokes.
