Hey guys. ![alright](https://stanceworks.com/forums/core/images/smilies/alright.gif)
Love what you all are doing here. You all seem to be a very accepting forum of all different kinds of "scenes" and "style" and I've seen nothing but positive/constructive criticism, thus why I bought a Stance|Works banner for my 2010 MINI Cooper S, and thought it was a good idea to introduce myself if I'm going to be rocking the banner....
A little bit about the car-
Purchased it (Minis are ugly stock, I'll be the first to admit it) December 22nd 2010.
First day.

Started modding a little... exhaust, intake, blackout chrome were the first things I did.

Oh my god....... this wheel gap. How did I go so long with it like this???

Then came lowering springs...

Still a ton of wheel gap.

And how my car currently looks-
Coilovers, 16mm spacers.

2.6" off the ground
