You can see where there is some tire wear on the fender but that is nothing big. I let the front clear itself since it is all plastic. I nick the hood every once in awhile when i'm not paying attention but it isn't much.

Latest pics of Otis in the fall





Love the way it looks with the S-lites. Thinking about upgrading to a set of Konig Feathers in the spring just for a lighter weight wheel. But the s-lites aren't too bad imho.

You would like the look of the feather's much better, with a 215-45-17 NT-01 they are about the same weight as the stock 16's and the sidewall bulges out just enough to look good.

Where where those pics taken? Looks like up around Boulder CO. maby squaw pass.

That is up on Chicago Pass up by Echo Lake! I went up there to check out the fall colors and the fog was so thick that I had to take some pictures with my phone. Too cool of an opportunity to pass up. I am thinking of just swapping out my tires if I don't get anyone to purchase the S-lites with the tires mounted. Just a nice set of Contiextremecontact in 215/40/17. Perfect for our crazy CO temperature changes.

These pictures were before I totaled it so that was the last it sat at. I always wanted to go lower.

Sad to hear about it being totaled. Always one of my favorite coopers

Hey Spade, first off- sorry about your car. That thing looked great. Second, what wheels are those? They look like some LM replicas, but did you paint them black yourself? Powdercoat? Thanks.

Low and dirty... stock JCW suspension. For some reason, everyone says my MINI sits low for JCW suspension. Personally, I think it's perfect!

Well after much to do with researching what seems to be all there is available to read about MINI suspension mods, and contemplating a daily driver's needs, I am proud to unveil the end results... I opted for the WMW V3 springs and H-Sport 19mm RSB. These are conjoined with the MINI Madness understrut bar, MINI Cabrio braces and M7 strut bar and plates.

Our car rides awesome and handles just as I had expected. I'm very happy to have chosen all the suspension mods I did and look forward to the future as I anticipate wearing out multiple sets of tires...

Enjoy the pics.
