Wow, looks really nice with the side skirts. Where did you get them?

Your rims are OZ ultraleggeras, right? Very nice.

Oh man, you stole my idea! I really don't like the JCW front and rear bumpers all that much, but LOVE the side skirts, so I plan on doing that same thing on mine. That looks totally killer!

Mind me asking how much you spent on them + paint?

Nice drop! The Eibach springs are definitely top on my list right now.

Ratt,

I actually have the whole body kit. The skirts really change the car, they are about 1" lower than stock, which doesn't help the wheel gap, but it brings the look down a bit.

I really like the front JCW bumper, but haven't had time to install it. The back is up in the air (no pun), but I have the JCW tuning kit and I really like how it wraps the tips.

So can't give you a cost on the skirts. I bought from morristown, can't remember the kit price, but paint was around $300 and they appear to be painted by Mini based upon the part number of the kit.

Damn, white wheels look good on these little cars. Of course, that may be due to the fact that I have them too!

Nice EZ.

So you paid $300 to Morristown in addition to the $1,276 (or something like that) that they charge for the kit?

DeK, that is a great photo! Something about the lighting and the pebbles makes it almost appear to be a model on a miniature set.

Yup, took me about 5-6 hours. It was a great learning experience and if anyone is even thinking about it... just do it!! you wont be disappointed!

great cars all...

this helps me decide on color

i was going PW/PW but is it just me or does it sometimes look pure white and sometimes off white depending on the light??? eh... i need to try to find one on a lot to look at up close and personal (the paint "chips" in the book look off white to me, but not the pics on the miniUSA site)

It has always looked a little off white to me IMO it hides dirt better and look a little more elegant. I've seen a few in person and they've all looked nearly the same to pictures I've seen here. I'm not seeing the pure white.

Having said that I'm going with PS or Pure Silver.
