Thanks! Ill have to take some more pictures today as I put on the JCW sideskirts last night. I think I want to lower the rear a tad more though (the front "air dam" thing under the bumper is an inch off the ground LOL.

Question.. How did the front and back look without the side skirts? Did it look odd? Actually have been considering JUST the front. Would that look odd? I like the stock rear.

It actually looked REALLY good without the sideskirts. It still flows nicely with the matte finish on the bottom. It was blurry since I didnt have my tripod...



But that gives you a better idea without JCW skirts

I have to tell you how much I appreciate you posting this and your response.
I have had this in my mind because I love the front on this kit but like the rest of my car as is. You have helped a member out with an important decision. Your car looks MEAN.. Great job!

They are Maxxim Maze wheels. Maxxim is a subcompany of Konig. Those are 18x7.5 et35 on my car :D. I took some night shots in a parking garage last night...I will try and edit today/tomorrow and post some high res ones up.

I snapped a pic of mine again the other night. Not really edited much at all (since I suck at doing that anyways). lol


As you can tell...I have a ton of rake on it.

That's just an insane MINI! Very nicely done! It happens to be the color of my next MINI...

Forgive me, but by rake, do you mean suspension mods? Those wheels are filling out the wheel well...

Correct. I probably have a very aggressive rake on it. I guess I never realized I had so much until I snapped this pic.
