Yes, for some reason canine testicles are highly regarded in the UK - even used as a compliment.

I guess the real meaning loses something as it crosses the Atlantic.

OOPS, maybe i should have said they looked 'spiffing' so as not to disappoint.

Anyway, I'll leave you with the sound knowledge that they really set the car off and filled the arches much better than the 16" wheels, made my mind up for sure (like it wasn't already!)

Those wheels do indeed make the car resemble a dogs more tender area !
Why do they cost so much, I'm sure they could just ask a vet for some left-over 'snip jobs' and hey presto Ds Bs for all !?
Stupid I know..but I have raging flu and am not thinking straight....

My baby MINI arrives this week! 17" wheels look great and here is a pre-delivery photo...

With cost of those 17" tyres I will be taking it gently into those icy corners. Perhaps the idea is to buy a new Cooper S before the tyres wear out?

Thanks Monsta

The rear lenses are the standard ones. But as you know the cover is clear and that is what you can see in the profile.

The dealers have a new Indi Blue Cooper with white roof and 17" white wheels which they will be using as demo vehicle shortly.

The blue/white is smashing! I will get some photos and post them soon.
