The new rear badge. Not exactly Mini authentic but I couldn't resist.

The new front badge, as seen on the MkII Coopers. I have one for the rear as well. The paint isn't really that bad, it's just covered in little bits of bug.

The flares in place. They're the same as the ones that were on the car originally, but black instead of grey. They look good, I'll keep 'em.

A detail on the front wheel. You can really see the negative camber (1.5 degrees at the moment) as well as the need for flares.

The new wheels do protrude from the body. I have some new flares. I was hoping to leave them off the car, but this is a bit much.

Minis are supposed to have 10" Minilite wheels. Okay, they're Minators. But they look right.

My two British toys and their wheels. The Lotus look-alike in the background doesn't actually have any significant British parts.

The wheel weight had to be relocated to clear the new calipers.

The new brake setup in place.

A comparison of the old and new brake rotors. It's interesting - despite the smaller diameter, it appears the swept area won't change much. The original design wasn't using the outside edge at all. You can also see the difference in thickness between the two rotors.
