New coilovers and wheels on my Mini

They finished installing the new wheels and coilovers for my car today. I think it looks hot!

Here are some pictures, you can decide if you agree with me or not

Very aggressive but not a fan of the hood scoop add on you put on there. JCW offers a carbon one.

The scoop is function over form. I have a much larger aftermarket intercooler. It made sense to get more air flowing through and it has a much larger opening than the stock scoop - I wouldn't able to gain the full cooling benifits of the new intercooler with the stock scoop. I didn't do that specific mod with aesthetics in mind. I have grown to like it though

Here is a pic so you can see what I mean. It is MUCH larger than stock.

Thanks Tuuner! I have the same sentiments. I think I put more mileage on my Mini than I do on the ML63

Mini looks great Mike.
I like the scoop from the front but from the side it looks just a bit strange.
Don't change it though.
