About time I started a thread for my Mini, so here goes...
Mini Cooper S 1.6 Supercharged
Dark Silver/Grey with Black roof and mirrors
Picked it up totally standard for quite a good price I thought, gave it a wash and took a few pics
Stayed like that for a bit then I wrapped the bonnet scoop, filler cap and boot handle in carbon.
Lowered a bit and fitted lower and upper strut braces and fitted a Dave.F induction kit.
Then finally got some new rims as the old ones were quite kerbed, wont be to everyones taste but I like them  
sorry for the shit pics will get some better ones when it washed and dry out.
Also just fitted my new Cat back  no pics yet
lamin-x'd my headlights too.

Looks smart that mate, i quite like the wheels. Best color combo too i reckon, that grey looks so much nicer with the black roof than with the white.

lol I started trimming it with a jr hacksaw and was talking to the mrs at the same time, before I knew it it was squint saw just took it all level and trimmed the ends to suit.
Ideally want some small pressed metal ones but cant find them in a smallish size.
Getting a private plate soon anyway so can stay till then.
Also just noticed the left side of my exhaust is on the piss, will try sort that tomo

i like it with the new alloys, looks a bit different to every other cooper s out there.

cheers for the comments,
ben the headlights were fine but I messed up the rears so Ive had to order more.
I suggest taking the lights out and using alot of heat as its quite hard to manipulate.
Im thinking about painting the s spokes for winter wheels tbh.
cant go any lower as I live in the town and it's speed bump central, I literally have to go 3mph over them at that height

Cheers, will have to order some.
Dont need to go lower, sits perfect as it is. Any lower and half your bumper is gonna go missing

It's lamin-x on the lights, red on back light smoke on front.
Didn't need green bulbs fortunately, light shines through like normal.

Cheers mate, bought it straight from www.lamin-x.co.uk
Really recommend taking the lights off if possible and using heat for awkward shapes.
