Blacked the F out... with some orange thrown into the mix... now I just need a joey mod or a tint film for the headlights/indicators.
Looks pretty sexy at night... I'll get some pics up later. (Sorry for the dirty wheels)

Personally, I'm going to go with a light tint instead of the joey mod. I think the joey mod looks really cool, but now that MINI has black housings as options I think it might get a little too common looking. I think your car would look awesome with a light tint myself.

Looks great, Dez!
Nice... I'm painting an extra set of wheels and mirror caps orange for track days for a "Gulf Livery" look (with my Oxygen Blue exterior).
The latest pics of my R56 Cooper after a clay and wax in preparation for the Dragon and love bugs.
Most notable is the addition of the Cooper S bumper and grill:

Is that bad boy lowered? It doesn't look as high as stock...it looks really nice. Also where did you get the "R56" and wheel center cap accents?

Personally I like the stock wheels on the Mini, especially the crown spokes which I would've gotten but I was a bit confused when looking at the website. I thought you only got perf rubber with the crown spokes and runflats w/ the webspoke for $500.00 more. Then, when I went into the dealership w/ my deposit, I saw the webspokes and really liked them. Oh well, the crown spokes are winter wheels anyways and the ASA AR2's are going on my car when it comes in. I plan on ordering them when I know for sure what day the car is coming in. Selling my winter beater will more than cover the price of these wheels, what a bargain at $159.00 per

I'm also thinking of extending my stripes down to the ground in both the front and back and adding white stripes to the roof.

Nah, not lowered yet, I guess it's just flattering angles
Thinkin about airlift or NM springs but I live in the city so bags would be better. For the R56, I bought Chrome lettering online and spray painted em.

Damn, that has to be the best lookin' stock ride height I have ever seen on an R56. Maybe it's the PW fender flares that help to give it the visual illusion of less wheel gap. Either way, that is one of the nicest PW MCS I've seen. I might try painting my flares as well...wonder how much that's gonna cost me?
