Well I know a lot of people on here love to hate the new MINI, but I thought I would post it up anyway smile

I've had it about a year or so now, it has a killer factory spec & the dealer install JCW Stage 1 engine tuning kit too. It takes power up to a book figure of 192bhp, however these cars are know to dyno higher than their quoted figures.

Here are a few pictures:







Done a few mods, but nothing major:

Exhaust [Factory JCW]
Filter [ITG]
Turbo inlet hard pipe [Samco]
Turbo to FMIC hard pipe [Forge]
MINI Challenge front splitter
JCW brake ducts
RAM bonnet scop [m7 tuning]
JCW brake upgrade kit
JCW Recaro buckets

Here a couple of videos too. smile

Thanks guys.

De-Sticker'd the A panels the other day too, they were left over from MINI UNITED and had never got round to removing them. Looks much better now.

Last thing to do is to get a viynl wrap on the beltine & door handles to remove the last few bits of chrome.

Very nice indeed, we have an r56 cooper s and it really punches above its weight, I can only imagine this is a real pocket rocket!

I nearly sold it just before Xmas on here, but backed out after I got 9 e-mails of interest on the first day it was listed. Made me realise it was too nice a car to let slip by before I've had time to enjoy it properly.

Future plans include suspension & a sports catted turbo downpipe.
