Default Peter's Cooper S

Hi Guys,

I'm Peter, and this is my Cooper S on brand new Cobra EVO III coils...

I just got the coils installed today, so please excuse the poor pics

The first setup is with R105 OEM Mini rims (18" / 7J with 215 /35 /40 tyres)
These wheels are shot to pieces and these are used during the snow period...
I forgot my spacers, so these look a bit shite...





This is my current setup:

Rims are Schmidts Racelites (17" / 8j with 205 / 40 / 17 tyres)
I just bought these wheel...there's some curbrash on all wheels...will get that fixed after the winter...








I even drove a staggered setup for a couple of days, waiting for the two racelites



What do you guys think?

I almost like the MINI wheels better if they were spaced out nicely. The Racelites look pretty good though so that's cool.

That looks good man, maybe even out the stance a little bit more and its perfection. Got anything special under the hood?

Guys,

Thanx for the kind words

Im kinda new with stancing my own car...usually just looking at al the awsome car you guys drive...

The MINi wheels can use a 16 mm spacer I guess, will try that during the week.
Im also considering camberplates, so I can tuk and poke the Schmidts some more

The height on the back needs to go up a bit, the scraping is to much know ...have to wait until it stops snowing though..I have no garage

Under the hood...The Cooper S (R56) has a 1.6 turbocharged engine with 175 Bhp stock. I have custom software, a frontmount IC and custom CAI...
Horsepower (dyno´d) is now at 218 Bhp...more than enough for a frontwheel drive
