I have front mud flaps already installed and I like them, and as soon as I get the towing solution fitted, I plan on adding the rear mud flaps. They may not fit well with the "street racer" look, but from a functional standpoint, I think they are a good addition. I tend to like the "rallye" look better than the "street racer" look anyway.

What is your towing solution? I am also thinking about getting a hitch fitted to tow a motorcycle.

Apparently, the tow hitches developed by various manufacturers for the 07-10 MCS's don't work on the 11 MCS, so I am waiting on MINI Do More (no affiliation, etc., etc.) to complete their tow hitch application for the 11 MCS. I have small sailboats that I occasionally tow, so a hitch is important to me.

Im getting alot of msgs asking me where i got my stripes done so ill post my response here
"Mark and bryan over at http://www.motoringdesigns.com/ cut the stripes for me and they were awesome about sending me samples and working with me for a couple of weeks finding the colors i had pictured in my head and my local shop http://zebrastripes.com/ installed the stripes for me. they both did a awesome job with bringing my thoughts to reality. i highly recommend them both "

AH, best execution of strips I have seen in a long time.

Nicely done on your 2011 MCS.
