Well, here are some pics of my MCS with the wheels polished and lowered 1inch on Eibach springs. Plus a pic of the interior which I am not happy with. The red always seems to come up 'too red' in photos, but it gives you an idea.

The Artist · Oct 10th, 2005, 01:58 AM

Sorry for those that can't open these pics.

The 'EDIT' button won't work for me so I can't go back in and change it, and the P*#S weak file size limit of 47k won't allow me to upload .jpg files big enough to even see.
I'll have a play around with it and try to work the stoopid thing out.

The Artist · Oct 10th, 2005, 02:04 AM

Here we go.....get out your magnifying glasses.

alexpalex · Oct 10th, 2005, 02:32 AM

upload them to your gallery, and open them in a seperate window.

Then copy and paste the web address shown above the picture into the reply box.

full size images in the post.

LOVE that interior

tintin1610 · Oct 10th, 2005, 04:40 AM

After lowering, how are you finding front-lip clearance over gutters and speed humps? Has the 1-inch drop made a big difference?

I'm not sure whether or not to lower mine with the aerokit on it...

The Artist · Oct 10th, 2005, 05:51 AM

Alexpalex >> I can't even work out how to get into my gallery, let alone upload pics to it.

Tintin >> No problems at all. You can pretty much go over most things the same way, just slightly slower. The ride is no harsher, but it handles much better....prob. best mod so far.

Wow the car is looking great Matt, and the pics are sensational too (even though they have to be viewed under an electron microscope to get the full detail

)

I can't wait to see the rims up close - this has gotta be one of the most economical ways to get a different look from the standard S-lites. I think it makes the s-lites look a bit more like the original classic mini ones

I had a quote to polish mine, and it was $180 per rim... inclusive of removing and re-fitting the tyre.

Hey Matt,

Thanks for posting some pics of your car... it looks awesome!

I love the custom red interior, very well done on that... the car has come together very nice! I lok forward to seeing more shots of your WIP

doona · Oct 10th, 2005, 12:56 PM

Tit · Oct 10th, 2005, 02:43 PM

You're pretty much spot on with that price. It's definately not a cheap option really, but it's something different. I like the style of the S-lite and i'm not really overly concerned with their weight, as I don't plan to do any track work in it, so for road use they're fine.

Thanks everyone else for the comments. I'll try and figure out the gallery option, as those previous links were giving me errors. Hopefully i'll get out this weekend and take some better shots and more of the interior to give you a better look at it.

Todd! · Oct 11th, 2005, 01:16 AM

Have a LOOK HERE Matt... this will answer all of your questions about galleries.

Thanks again for the photos. Your car looks very cool!

The Artist · Oct 11th, 2005, 01:44 AM

Thanks buddy. Now that I know how easy it is, expect more pics soon.

These are a bit easier on the eye:
