Well, my new Cooper S completed. After all is said & done, I'm glad I got it because I really like the subtle changes on the body, versus the '02 model. Masking & spraying this one was really easy too, & it has about 1/3 the amount of decals as the '02 model. So, now my new GT-M asphault racer is complete & ready for the spring season to begin.

Here's the final product in Spaz Stix chameleon with a white top & painted hood stripes:











I almost painted it silver, but decided to go the chameleon route at the last moment. As I posted earlier, the Cooper-S kit wheels are UGLY, so I swapped them for some deep-dish Square +4mm offset wheels & belted x-patterns. I'm running narrow(4mm) plastic hubs from a TB-02, so the wheels dont poke out of the fenders.
