    I thought about it but decided on red to mimic the works edition mini cooper - $51k sticker price at the dealer :shock:



    like I said, I need to take some better pics, specially some shots from the top, the car looks absolutely gorgeous, I already had 3 other mini driver's asked me what edition mini this was - 'Vlad my ride' edition.. LOL :D

                Yeah I know its got a critical difference of some sort which prevents it from being compatible with E30 rims.

                    I'm not sure what the offset is but I'm sure that plus center bore is 1 of the reasons I've only seen 2 e30's with mini wheels and they were online. They were running spacers too.

                        last night driving in the rain she got hit hard from behind, spun and hit the guardrail







                        the driver is ok, minor brusing from the seatbelt and airbag. Will take the car appart on Mon to determine the damage

                                        That really sucks. I just found this thread for the first time and was reading through it. Then out of nowhere this happens. Sad :(
