All Black Cooper S

Had these on now for about a week.







Yes, I know the car needs to be lowered. I've got the springs but I rub already with 3 people in the car, and while I don't carry people often, I just know it's gonna rub really bad. So I'll probobly have the wheels machined down to fit better inside the fenders. Or as someone suggested to me, just get wider fenders . But I think I may push my dad to get some coilovers and try and make it sound like putting the springs on to be a hassle.

Tom

Dude... very nice mini indeed. Like the way how the lip isn't powdercoated. If I were you i'd get a light tint in the windows just to complete the 'black out' look . Later

Oh yeah... got any plans for painting your calipers? *cough*red*cough

pretty mean if ya ask me. I can't tell you how many times i've been driving back to CT from NY and a S comes out of no where and makes everything else on the road look like slow mud. Very classy.

It rubs with 17's???
I've seen minis with 19's AND they were lowered!
What offset are you using there?
Roll your fenders boy!

The offset is not ideal for the car. Stock offset is 44 and these are 37. BBS is sending us a fender roller, and then the Eibach springs go on.
