I grew up there. Can't believe I use to run cross country up and down that road.

I plan on selling them. I also have the M7 Tuning carbon fiber C-Wing for sale as well. Not sure what I want for the front lip (fits 2007-2010) yet. I have a pretty good idea what I want for the diffuser (fits R55 R56 2007-2012). If anyone is seriously interested, you can e-mail me.

Thanks! I especially like how the door panels and other interior trim pieces are still black, not red like every other MINI I've seen with the redwood interior.

hey everyone. just picked up my first mini 3 weeks ago. love it so far. i do a lot of autox, and some track days down here in Florida. its an 08 Cooper S. got it with 43k on it.

only things i have done to it is hankook RS-3 tires and tint. the rest was from the previous owner. mostly just plasti-dip for the exterior, and an alta intake and accceport tuner. plans are to do KW variant 3 coilovers, hotchkis 25mm sway bar, camber and toe links, and front camber plates as soon as i sell my old track car and trailer.

here is a pic, hope you like it.
