Seriously Lowered Cooper S - Chilli Red - 17" S-spokes

Here's a pic from www.minicooperonline.com , hope they don't mind.

Thats SERIOUSLY lowered. Apologies if this has been described elsewhere.

I have to say that the Black grille looks much better than the body coloured one imho. Nice, really nice.....hmmmm. Then again, maybe the grilles been removed, can't quite make it out. !


Cheers

PS. On closer inspection I wonder if it's not a photoshopped job......hard to say, but those rear wheels don't look quite right in relation to the arches. Hmmm...not sure.

Talking I like it

I think it looks really good the only problem I would have is I still have to watch it pulling out of some drives onto crowned roads. The grill looks like its ready to eat the next car it comes up to

Nothing like the Duval crawl

And those lovely UK manholes that stick up about 35mm above the surface that used to take off my old MGB GT's rear muffler !!!

Having said that, what a handler it would be on smooth roads. Awesome

I'm not sure I'd like mine lowered... But that black grill (or missing grill) is actually quite smart looking.

Definitely looks PhotoShop'ed, the rear wheel just looks wrong. One decent bump in the road and the rear suspension would rub on the guards.

You've been away far toooo long It's now no longer 35mm above the surface. The common height is 55mm above the surface
