This is Brown Betty, my 2011 MCS. Man I love this car.

Finally took delivery of my JCW this week after waiting for 4 months. Sorry for the poor cell camera pictures.

 

Very nice! I like the red bonnet stripes!

 

Luckily I ordered springs and spacers today. hopefully I can help this thread. Too many stock MINIs with stock ride height.

 

That's a kick-azz color combo!!!

 

Here's my 2011 Eclipse Grey MCSa, bone stock at the moment but getting new wheels this week!

 

jarelj... what are you going to do with the old wheels?

 

That is a sharp looking Mini. I like it a lot.

Happy Motoring.

 

Congrats on the new ride. Just in case you haven't considered getting rid of the RF tires, my local Discount Tire credited me $50 for each of those nasty things. Bought new 205/50 16's summer Conti DW's from them to mount on my 2011 MCS's new Rota RB's. Love them. Keeping the stock rims in case they're needed for Winter tires. Be sure and post pix of your new rims

 

What model Ducati are you riding? I'm on a nicely set up 848.

 

Fell in love with these wheels and was finally able to grab a set and throw them on! Pictures are from Skyline drive in the Shenandoah Valley area of Virginia.

 

Ha ha!! We'll have to compare notes, my 848 is pretty well set up too!

 

I guess I'll just keep them with the all-season RF's to use in the winter.... I like the way they look with the blacked-out thing, but the new wheels I got are silver, so will change the look of the car quite a bit. The new ones are TSW Thunder rims and Hankook V12 tires, 18". A friend of mine had them on a past MINI, and had them sitting in the garage looking for a new home.

Just got her last week. Can't wait for this hurricane to pass so I can take better pictures.

 

Took this one earlier today. Happy motoring!

Had him for about a month. Just added the decals myself



The stripes go down the back as well but I can't find a copy of that pic!

 

Just picked it up this morning...2008 MCS Sparkling Silver Metallic!

 

Welcome!

Happy modding!

 

 

 

Not enough Meeyaders

 

Just got my new autocross wheels in and wanted to post some pics.

Wheels are TR Motorsports C1 16x6.5 off set 45mm so they will keep me in the stock class. Best of all they are only 14lbs each! Tires are 205/50 R16. Everything fits perfectly, no rubbing and the wheels clear the brakes for anyone who is interested. I had not seen this setup done yet but at $114 each I thought it was worth a shot.

Pics.

 

Personally, I'm not too keen on the look - but at 14lbs for $114! I can certainly appreciate that!
