thanks dude! i'm super happy with the way it looks. got another photoshoot on saturday, and it should be close to its final height by then!

just ordered some daft bits..

boss kit - for when my wheel eventually arrives!
clutch kit - current one is destroyed
flip key - because i'm sick of holes in my pockets..

Xjpx (on MiniTorque) sorted me out with a Cooper S bumper, which im in love with haha! think its made a massive difference to the car. I'm now needing the upper grill and rear bumper bar painting, but that'll come in time

Mini-Torque has also used my pic for their Facebook cover pic, which is pretty cool!

So anyway, the road up to Xjpx , is now slight damaged due to the lowness of the Mini.. oops!



i then had to pull all of this out...



but i think it was worth it.. (terrible night time pic!)
bumper is actually sat on the floor, so i've had to trim it underneath



i then went on to modify my front struts, to make them go lower without having to lower the adjuster rings, and effect the ride quality more.
i managed to modify them to sit further down in the hub by just over 20mm.

i also relocated the fog lights to the Cooper S position, so that they sit correctly.





i was going to rock the no number plate look, but not worth the £100 fine! but i just keep a screwdriver in my car so i can take it off for pics

i have a photoshoot tonight anyway, so i'll get some more pics uploaded soon. hope you like!
