    All - here are some updates from Western Canada...

    1) Colour-matched the mirrors and brake ducts to the stripes
    2) Added spot lights
    3) Added the aero kit (which has much needed larger tail pipes)
    4) Added R129 JCW wheels

    They are not video, they look to be images but with all the flickr fun and the way this site picks up and renders video and other links it's all broken.

    This is what the OP posted..

    PHP:
    [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bentyyc/6138439286/][img]http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6178/6138439286_c3b4f44ca4_m.jpg[/img"]Flickr: Page Not Found[/url]

    If we look at that mess we do see a bit of useful info...

    Code:
    http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6178/6138439286_c3b4f44ca4_m.jpg
    That when wrapped in the tag is this...

    [IMG]http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6178/6138439286_c3b4f44ca4_m.jpg

    I went in and cleaned it up to display the images.

    If I am wrong and this is trying to serve video from flickr please let me know.



    So I went i]

    You're car is awesome! I love what you did to it :) How do you find the ride is with the R129's?

    Thanks kconner! Honestly, I don't find a big difference over the 18" wheels that the car came with. If anything, I think the ride is a little better...

    Thanks for the info!

    We have been sort of 50-50 on the 19's 1. Because there expensive and 2. We thought they might have a worse ride... But they sure do look nice :)

    kconner - they are pricey, but not a whole bunch more than if you spec an aftermarket 19" wheel and tire yourself. The ride is definitely no worse...

    Thanks maacodale - the stripes were inspired by "original" Mini Surf Blue from the '60s/'70s.
