    I liked the stripes, but the clean look is somehow better. You have a nice MINI. :Thumbsup:

    Thanks!!

    One of the best attributes of a Mini Cooper is it's versatility!! There isn't just one way to enjoy them! ;)

    Whether it is with stripes or not, you should sign up for the car show up at the Dragon (so I can see your car in person :wink: ) MINIs On The Dragon - Car Show

    Personally, I liked the stripes on. Any new pics with them off?

    Finally got time to install the Powerflex rear upper strut bushings today! Install was a breeze and initial impressions from a short shake down drive are gery good. Seem to be exactly as promised. Didn't seem to increase harshness in the ride quality much at all and the rear end seems to be that tick more stable and predictable. Think the real difference will be realized at the track and at the limits!!

    I'm a happy camper!!:Thumbsup:

    PS: Updated the pic in the garage of the rear strut with a new one with the bushings installed.
