Wow, Bernie sure gets a lot of attention!
Here are some of the things I've had to listen to.
"What is that?"
"Does the top come off?"
"Thats cool man!"
"Is that one of those new Fiats?"
"Is that new?"
"Crazy car, is it fast?"

Bernie got a new upgrade yesterday ......
ALTA diverter/blow off valve
After installing on my Stage 1 tune the boost curve is alot smoother and it's easier to drive in traffic with the Sport button pushed.
Here is a thread to discuss

Nice. Can't believe I missed this thread when it started. So who do we have to bribe to get on the testing list for the diverter valve.
The wheel gap is bugging me on my coupe now. May have to do something about that sooner than later...

FYI, I loved my coupe at stock height but even more now that its lower.

That probably was Bernie as the Coupes are so rare.

How is the brake dust with those wheels. I'm thinking of buying a JCW Coupe and it comes with those wheels but my other mini's were SO hard to keep clean. Are the JCW pads on the coupe any better?

Still lots of brake dust. When you get the car spend some time cleaning then waxing the wheels just like you would the rest of the car. This makes it easier to wash off.
