Like those side stripes, I just pulled mine off. It was time. Trying to go for a more dapper look. Gotta get geared up for that airrex struts.

Thanks guys

... All I have left to do is recharge the AC and that will not happen until the roads clean up a bit more ... most likely I will not be able to road test it properly until April ...

Plasti-Dipped my hood scoop (old one flew off) and then took it for a wash since it got up to 65 degrees.. Finally we took a drive down to DC to check out the sites..

Testing the new rear sway bar. Still can't do the GTI salute, but I already feel lift throttle oversteer. Photos from https://flic.kr/s/aHskveJFyw

Like the hollies on the R56 Cooper, super light OEM wheels and they look good too. Nice action shot. Hollies = the choice of autoX

What did you swap in to it?

I swapped the motor from a 2008 6 speed which forced me to swap engine wire harnesses as well because my 2007 is auto and I was not entirely sure the harnesses were the same ... a lot of work

Just added to the family: 2011 R56 Cooper S hatchback, 57k miles, with new tires, the leather interior and some nice option packages. It's my 27-year-old daughter's and she's really liking the power, handling, double sunroof, auto climate control and interior.

Nice to see a 10 year anniversary MINI Cooper being driven across the country.

Most I have seen have hollie wheels.

I had the dealer switch wheels/tires when I bought the car. They did it for free to make the sale. I didn't care for the "hollie" wheels.
