I agree. It's certainly the best looking R56 MINI I've ever seen... truly stunning.

*Searches around in his pockets for some money... finds £4.11*

I've got £4.01 (need £0.10 for the gym locker later)... somehow, I don't think that would go very far towards achieving comparable magnificence.

*Looks forlorn and wanders off*

Phil, looks great

Didn't take you long to start the modding! How do the Eibachs feel?

Will definitely have to keep an eye out for you round Bangor now And keep an eye out for the next run, be good to have you (and an R56) along

It feels far better nylo, it is definately the way it should be. I didnt know about lowering it because i lowered a car before and it buffed really bad, but this dosnt buff at all and it feels really solid. I will definately go on the next run!! What suspension is in your car???

[dazzpowder]

It's what the R56 needs, it's sitting @ jus' the right height now.

Hi Phil

How much lower is your car and does the front clear speed humps ok...car looks wicked BTW !

Cheers

I think its about 25-30mm lower, but it is a tight squeez over speed bumps. This easy to fix, all you have to do is take of the two plastic strips below the bumper!!

Looks great lowered, i think i will do the same to mine... wont be in any rush for the milltek though! i dont like the oval cans one bit! each to their own...

Good man, that's what I like to hear It's probably coz there's plenty of room for the R56 to be lowered that you're not having too many issues.

I've got the Works suspension on mine, and I find that's plenty - I work in an office out the back roads behind Donaghadee, and if I take some of the yumps at any great speed, I do scrape, so lowering any more wasn't really an option.

looks great how do you find the Milltek? I have my R56 booked in for the Milltek on 2 July, but would be interested to hear your views on it - have you got the full system?

[phil_c]

I find the milltek good, but they would not give me the down pipe/cat as there seems to be a problem with an engine management light coming on. They say that it will be avaliable at the end of the month. As for the rest of the system it is first class and does seem to give it a little power and better throtle response, but if you want a really loud exhaust note i wouldnt go for this, it is slightly louder and more throaty but not loud enough to give you a sore head!!

That looks stunning!!! Looks great lowered
