Jason,

I'm in love with your MINI.

How hard is it to keep the white wrap clean?

Alright so I recently bought Rota Slipstreams for my 05 mcs. chili red & white. im going to polish them but i was wanting to find lowering springs as well, so this summer the mini will be riding sick. . . any ideas?
All of the minis on here are gorgeous, and im in love. I dont have the money for coilovers and i realize that H&R's are popular, but which way to go to get the best look for my buck. . ? Thanks all.

Also thought of black wheels with a chrome lip to add to the mix, also retaining the black inside, chrome lining look.

Not down talking yer car at all, don't get me wrong, it looks good! Just thinking of simple, new/different ways and combinations to make it look.

Thanks, Ive thought about doing something with the wheels. I actually was thinking for a while of getting the red strip to paint match the dark silver color, just not quite completely sure yet. It does suck sometimes with DS, it seems I can go with black, or pink chrome. Ive wanted to do pink chrome, but dont want to get it mistaken for a girls car with wheels that color haha.

This picture came out better than the one posted above...I think anyways.

I don't have the JCW aero kit but I've left some of my chrome on my car like you're looking for pics of.



Since this picture I have painted the headlight retaining washers body colored.

...thinking about getting a body colored hood scoop with racing stripes passing through them.

Exactly, but give it a wheel with a 2-piece look for a chrome lip. That looks so good to me!

He's got it right here. Take the inside of those wheels, make them black, and leave that lip, or chrome it. That's what I'm talkin' about.
