There not GB's the Caps are but the wheels aren't. Not the std issue ones anyway. I haven' seen those wheels before. I have a set of GB's here, much to chong's dissapointment Sorry there not for sale.

yea Jim, I like those wheels.....

Look at the dent where the door hinge attaches to the car! The owner of that one will be spewing you have brought that to everyones attention!

Why do Mini's distort in this spot? I have seen MANY with problem.

I don't think it is, very hard to say for sure from all the reflections in that shmick polish job

Well, I would say because most of the force of the door opening goes right there when the door is opened too far at some point. There is not enough strength the the braket behind it imho.

You talkin about the orange peel?

Dang, ignore my previous post, for some reason the first pic didn't show for me earlier

Funny thing is...I did not notice it...but you did...so the owner would hate YOU

Areas like that usually have orange peel in acryllic coz they're too hard to rub back properly. That looks like 2 pak orange peel to me - off the gun.
And yes, the hinge flexes at that point because the strengthening rib behind is inadequate when the door flies open on windy days. They also get a bit cruddy up there as the dirt and muck builds up, so the metal is probably softer there than on most places.
