With less than satisfactory updates for the past few weeks, here are some better pictures. The recent nose and paint job did wonders in cleaning up the face as well as the body. The AC Schnitzer replica bodykit was never gloss painted until now.

Back from the painted wide grille mod and bumper repair and paint touch ups, the car was sent to have its long-overdue windscreen replaced.

It now needs more GT3 RS-esque features.  Though Duell AG already have ready-made versions that resembles the look, unfortunately it’s for the R56 versions. The earlier R53 versions don’t posses the same look.

It’s still a photoshop work. So no promises. But it is the look that i desire most for the MINI.
