NICE, Dan!!! Lowering makes a HUGE difference, doesn't it?
I've finanally been Web Spoked (got the R98's I ordered with the Sport Package, but didn't recieve). So I figure I get to post another pic, too:
...oh and the Alta stubby is new... as well as the iPod connector (not that you can see that part).

I love the splitter... but if it drops down as far as the air deflector under the stock bumper... $10 says you munch it up in the first week after lowering. 
Yeah. The roads are still pretty gritty/sandy here in Washington right now. I was going to give it another month or so and pull them off. Once they're off, I think I'll take the time to paint the "MINI" lettering in on each cover.

Splitter clearance
I think it will be fine as the splitter is more than an inch above the air deflector, which is also at least an inch in depth. I am sure I will still have to take it slow over speed bumps and driveway entrances etc. 
BTW: The $10 will be yours if I munch it up

Mia the Nightfire Red MINI!
These are repeats that are posted elsewhere, but to the purpose of the OP here we go! (The color varies a lot. Average these together and you start to get an idea)
The rest for now are here

Pepper White
For those of you looking to see the difference in "Pepper White" vs oh say "Just White". Here's our new child (picked up Saturday) is against our Polar White Nissan Titan.

After a long wait and much anticipation, our cooper is finally in our hands. Let me put those still waiting at ease, it is worth it. It is absolutely worth it. The car is fantastic. The pick up went flawlessly and thanks to information posted here, we did a very thorough and detailed inspection of the car before handing over the dough. We knew exactly what to look for, what to expect and what to question. Thank you NAM! The folks at Rasmussen in Portland, including our MA where superb. We look forward to many, many years with this car and posting here on NAM.
I'll take more pics and post this weekend.

Congratulations. Your car looks great. I know that garage and that view of downtown Portland. I'm glad your wait is over.

Is that a carbon fiber scoop? What do you think of it in person?
