Before and After (as purchased vs today)

I have just cleaned my car today ready to export it, and as it's pretty much how I want it I thought I'd post a pic of it as it is now and also how it looked on 7th December when I bought it.

I don't imagine it's to everyone's taste, but hopefully it's slightly individual. Feel free to comment positively or negatively.

That looks great, love the addition of the aero kit, and I think those wheels really look good with the colour scheme you have going on. Has it been lowered as well? BTW what size are the wheels?

Thanks. Wheels are 17x7.5 ET45 Rota Slipstream. It's on Eibach -25/30mm springs and it's also got a GTT230+ kit, all of their chassis braces and Spiroslot brakes all round.

Wow. That looks well cool, I love the wheels personally. Only around 2 months to do all those mods, i like!

Im looking into 30mm Eibach springs at the moment so also gives me an idea on how low the car will sit. + Did you get the honeycomb mesh stickers for the Aero bumper from Phil @ MiniPirate?

Cheers

Yep, the Aero stickers are from Phil. The OE silver ones just weren't going to work with my colour scheme.

Sorry for being a dufus, is the product I want "NMCF06 Carbon Fibre effect Aero Decal" from minipirate.com?

P.S. Kudos for the different wheels!

EDIT: Oops, no I don't think that's it - I've just found a page of various designs! Argh, too much choice!

Nope, they aren't CF. I ordered what I though would look closest to the real grills in the front which was NMAr261 Black/Grey Vinyl

Cheers on the wheels comment. I did consider the more common TD 1.2 and also some multispoke Rotas, but in the end I liked the angularity of the 5 spokes against the curviness of the Mini body.
