Thanks for your help.
I want to lower my Mini John Cooper Works.
Hi!

The wheels are OZ Ultras 7*17 ET37 (Et = Offset ) with no spacers. My JCW runs on KW V3 coilovers and special front strut mounts (i don´t know if it means the same i want to say - in germany we say "Domlager") from Krumm-motors.de ( http://www.krumm-motors.de/Shop/prod...3-und-r56.html )

Thats all of it

I like it for a female, especially the wrap, not digging the recaro though, to wide of a head rest to flow with the interior.

It's a fun car and it attracts people who want to have fun. It's also the car of choice for marketing Red-Bull energy drinks, if you're feeling a little inadequate/more into the male-enhancement supplements, you might want to purchase a Hummer or a Viper... or the BMW Z3 coupe, it was actually shaped like a giant ______.

Either way, you can customize your Mini to look as macho or feminine as you want, just post up some pictures when you're done.

My pics are up i have a manly "MEANI". That wasn't an attack, but a statement that was emphasizing the fact that it is what you make it to be. I used this phenomenal thing called sarcasm.


Why would i take away from the car i bought and have modified and love to drive.



edit: My mini is my favorite car ive owned under my heavily modded S2k, heavily modded wrx and moderately modded 98 M3

Enjoy it. Sure beats a Volkswagon Beetle. In showroom state it can be girly.....although I 'm sure that the many who have heavily modded their cars with blackout, custom wheels, coilovers, aero kits, engine mods, stripes, and all, think their car to be masculine. Was this done because they suddenly realized that they were driving girl cars? It has become so clear to me now! Hahahaha

Yeah Tire Rack.

I think the 18's they had in stock had the red lip, which wouldn't have complimented my car.

They might look bigger because my MINI is lowered about 1.2inches, eliminating some of the space around the wheel.
