    If you mind me asking how much were the powder coats, and where did you get it done, thanks
    The aero side skirts are sitting in my garage at the moment. just need painted. Also have the aero rear spoiler... I have collected the parts over the last 6 months. Just need the cash to get them painted now...

    the wheels were powder coated at Powdertec in Glasgow. they sponsor Chris Knox who races the MINI's in the Scottish Mini Cooper Cup. Only £40 per wheel for 18's which I thought was very good value. The wheels were quite badly kerbed, but you wouldn't know it now... They look like new and you can choose a variety of finishes and colours.

    yeah, I have thought of that, but getting in and out of my street I scrape my front bumper on the illegal speed bumps (IMHO) so if I was to lower it, I would have real problems...

    Craig, Eibach springs would give you some mild lowering of around 20mm.. Not drastic but would make a difference...

    Speed Bumps ehh!!! When i had my Coilovers on a 50mm drop, i couldn't take my MINI to Braehead Shopping Centre in Glasgow... There was much scrapping on the lower bumper spray sill, didn't damage it, just frayed the plastic off..
