Just be carefull with that double sided tape you mounted the front plate with cause in Greece there can be some summers with high temps when heat can be overwhelming (καύσωνας ξέρεις) causing the tape to melt therefore running over the plate!

Nice choice or wheels!

Would work great to reduce the wheel gap, as far as improve handling, I saw a difference when I swapped to JCW struts, with the regular suspension it was a jumpy ride, lowering the MINI with springs is more for looks.

Thank you for the comment.

What brand did you get? If it's anyhting besides the JCW item, can i have a look?

I use the JCW Strut Bar...

If you have the JCW Stage I kit you now have a choice of JCW Strut Bar. MINI offers 2 choices for the JCW Strut Bar.

Meet Ferris

After much waiting and pining the day finally came. I picked up Ferris yesterday. Here's some pics, for all the Week 4 supporters you'll have seen these already.

Oh yeah, that's me in the last pic.

Finally added some new stuff to my MINI. It took me 6 months but I finally added the JCW front Aero Bumper. Also put a clear bra on it. Had to do that from scratch since they don't make a cut pattern for it. Sue saved me on this last run I did. LOTS-O-ROCKS

This picture was taken in the same place I took of me in my 03 Cooper.

I'm still on the fence. I'll probably get a set in a couple of months, once it warms up.

I have to say that those Chili Red Coopers look AMAZING, especially with the black top and mirror covers. You guys have good taste!

Elwood Body Works in Scottsdale, AZ. They do great work! Most of our club has used them for one thing or another.
