Rally....damn, your cooper is hot, love the MCS bits and the updated grill trim. I put that trim in my cooper, but not the lower part yet, just the bonnet.

My set up, no glam shots yet, will update when I detail the car, and the snow melts and I can get a shot or 2.

H-sport springs, stock MC dampers
Yokohama Prada Spec 2 215-40-17
OEM 17 x 7 S-lytes. Actually don't know the offset...haha.
IE front adjustable camber plates on the way
