What did you do to your MINI today?

Not quite today, but earlier this week I lowered, fitted a JCW spoiler and new wheels!

 

Looks great what wheels are those?

 

Sparco Trofeo 18 x 8 ET45

 

With the 18's are you seeing any significant range decrease? I am debating between 17's and 18's.

 

Actually the range had improved!
Either way I’m not fussed about range, only use it for commutes and the odd long journey like today I did a 90 mile round trip and still had 15% left

 

Don't the 18" wheels throw off the range calculation because the wheel diameter is bigger? The sidewalls don't look shorter than the 17". And what about the TPMS sensors, do they need to be adjusted?

 

Maybe a 1 or 2 mph Speedo difference, TPMS sensors all work fine

Congratulations on buying one of the few remaining SEs available! (cars.com says the count for new SEs is down to 307 in the continental US.)

 

Thank you!! It was used and I’m in Canada but…I feel like the “Congratulations” still stands lol

Hankooks 195/55/16 temperature 60-70 F. This is my average range only on SPORT mode 80 miles highway speed 65/75 and 40 miles short trips 4-5 miles around city total 120 miles and still 20 miles left .My drive in SE is always like I steal a car and I wander if I’m on green mode how far I will go ?

 

Absolutely it counts: you brought home an SE that someone else gave up. . (Unthinkable to me.)
