No need to apologize I know people that have spoken English their whole life and cant speak well. . The car looks great. I have a interesting offset coming up.. I hope it works, don't want to brag about it until I know it fits right. I have to wait until the 22nd when I can get back to my baby.

Keep up the good work

I feel the same way. I like the look of the small amount of chrome on the car the the belt line is not chrome its more of a brushed look.

I got some decent pictures at last!




It still needs the regular black bottom grilles, so if anyone's interested in say a swap, please let me know!

I've also got a set of KONIG Feather in Black on order. It will sit on 235/40 17 Dunlop Direzzas

I'm no expert... but with that small of an offset I think you'll be looking to get some super flared wheel arches... or really reworking the suspension to tuck those wheels under the MINI.

Cool, looking forward to seeing those. Mine are set to arrive on Thursday, but I probably won't try and install them until Saturday.

Can see the problem with 0 offsett.

But seriously, 9x16 et 15 will work?
