Revised front clip?

Me thinks it's had some work done outside the factory... Makes mine look frumpy.

 

Great looking Coupe. The stance is perfect That looks like the standard JCW front bumper, but center section is painted black, giving the lower opening a bigger look. Very effective on the silver white. We need more info on this...

Looks like a blacked FMIC in there too. Front corner reflectors are blacked out.

 

Euro spec cars do not have them

 

I REALLY like the way it looks with those 2 lower panels in black. I think my new one may get that treatment as well...

 

Just wondering if that's a wrapped roof ???? I need some coilovers!!!

 

Hi guys!

That's my brother's Coupé.
The roof was painted White Silver the week before departing to MU.
It's got the center part of the front bumper painted flat black and it's still fully stock engine wise, so no black IC.

As pointed out, no reflectors on the Euro cars.

He wanted to fit the Challenge front lip, but the facelift JCW bumper has been changed in a way that you cannot retrofit pre-facelift items. No time to order the right lip, might be something to come though.

If anyone has more pictures, please share them. I'd like to show them to my brother

 

Brother has great taste! What wheel/tire combo is he running?

 

X2 on that This Coupe looks so dialed in. Hit your brother up for some more pics

A European enthusiast was nice enough to post this on MU. This is the Coupes build thread, http://www.newminiclub.nl/forum/viewtopic.php?t=23768

His build thread says ASA wheels, don't see model or specs though.

They're ASA GT1's in 18x8.5 ET35

I have them on my hatch as well (before he did..)

These were actually backup wheels as his wheels from Japan didn't come through in time. I'm thinking he'll be putting those up for sale as this is a killer look!

 

Thanks for the info. Much appreciated.
