lol nice! how much did it cost to get fixed? and u can see the ghosting of the debadging in all pics lol.

 

i actually knew the guy who fixed it for me so i got a really good deal... first i had to get a new fender, get it painted, pop out a dent in the door near the fender, repaint the door and have it all installed for $350

STEAL!!!!!!!

other places were saying it would be around $1000

 

^Pretty nice price man. Looks great!

So what's next?

 

well i just ordered my clear corners off ebay earlier this week so they should be here any day now... after that im gonna save up some more for my rims

 

^Nice, nice.

What kind/color wheels?

 

Drop it first. seriouslyyyyy.

 

Looks great! :thmbsup:
But like Zerocl said, drop then wheels. our 97 3.0 wheels are pretty sweet already but a drop is a must!

 

Your paint looks great, def claybar then polish/wax/buff and the ghosting should be good

 

im getting 18" silver ADR Battle Exes

and then KYB AGX/ with sportlines

niw thinkin about it i prob will get it lowered first... i cant stand the way it looks with rims and stock suspension

 

Take it from someone who has a WW lip, new wheels, etc - GET IT LOWERED FIRST. My car is still riding 4x4 and even with all the bling all I see is wheel gap. Especially when I look over at the 97

 

With the 3.0 I think you need the prokit.

 

lower it lol. just get it out of the way

 

why? whats wrong with sportline???

 

You're gonna need rubberbands (35s) but it can be done. I have the sportlines on my 97 and it scrapes majorly. subbuzz put them on originally search for threads by him for more info.

 

kind of topic, but wanted to ask, is that your mini s? if yes, how do you like it?

 

no its my dads it is the car that replaced the acura, and put it into my hands


its a pretty sweet car, its like a little go-cart. its fun to ride in


and the fuuny thing that most people dont know about mini's is that they have alot of leg room more than any other compact car... its weird

 

Nothing, I have them on my car. They're fine.

 

ughh.. on the U in acura at the bottom, there are little chips of paint missing. you an see the bare metal under it all. pisses me off!!

 

cool, i should test drive one, when i'll be looking for car at the end of this summer...
does it have enough power? lol

 

well th cooper type s does, it has 175 hp...its not much, but the hp to wight ratio is good so it feels liek a whole lot more

it also sounds pretty sweet floring it with that sound of the turbo kicking in... lol

 

They have sportlines for the 3.0?

 

they fit, but they're rated for a 4 cyl

 

Ah, thats what I thought. I guess pro kit ftw for me.

 

nice, thanks for the info

 

Just noticed your Texas plates ck, where you from?

 

fixed

 

maybe he has a newer version of mini s... which has a turbo now

 

Austin so your only like an hour and 30 min from me
