GeoBem007, I love your ride! It's very close to what I'm aiming for with mine, except I don't think I have the patience to deal with white wheels.
My ride is Lightning Blue, and I'm really curious to see how the headlight-rings and rear chrome would look when colour-coded. Obviously it works great on yours. Have you ever seen it done in Lightning Blue?

Interludio44: Haven't seen it yet, but I believe it's always a good result if you're not having a lot of chrome, certainly when working with white details. I believe that chrome & white do not match so if I were you, I'd colorcode it!
It's not that hard to Photoshop it, too. You should ask someone who has some PS-experience to do that for you, you'll get a pretty good idea.

I like the color line... How'd you do it? Did you buy it from the dealer or paint them?

Freshly dropped on NM Engineering springs, with the NM engineering 22mm rear sway bar.
Quick shots from the alley behind my apartment. There's a huge parade in my neighborhood today, so no where to do a real photoshoot. They'll be coming sometime soon.

Rear camber isn't too bad, I may just get an alignment and see what they can get out, and leave it as is. It doesn't seem like it's bad enough to seriously cause abnormal wear.

Thank you! Believe me, I know. Parents wont let me mess with my suspension- yet.
I traded a friend of mine his rooster red for my dark grey, worked out nicely.

i think that colormatching the headlight rings really adds to the look

sure thing. here you go. interior lines up with the MINI wings, outside lined up with the windshield washer nozzles...
i have since updated it with colormatched headlight and grill surrounds, and had the stripes re-done so they are a little more clean around the scoop and grills. i have some picks, but have been lazy about uploading them. i'll find my camera and rectify the problem if you like...
