My Mini Cooper S

[Brookie.]

Looking good mate.
Losing the spotlights and adding a JCW aero grill would be a big improvement!

 

[banther]

Aero Grill FTW.

I like the spots

 

[banther]

I want spots on my R53. Needs more spots if anything! Go full italian job.

Ha. I took my stripes off it. Prefer the plainer look.

I need some better brakes now to stop it.

Good work! Looks great.

These really have grown on me over time, i'd love to have a go in one!

The pics form your road trip looks amazing. I will do something like that one day.

You really can't beat a good European road trip.
Agree that Swiss mountain passes really are something special!

 

[jesus]

Sounds great! What's included in the JCW package?

I used to say that. Then one day we just booked ferry tickets with my mates and it went from there. You should definitely just do it. Won't regret it.

Yes they are. I'd love to go back and have another go.

Remap, Airbox & Filter and Exhaust.

 

[Sam]

Not the best pic in the world but I've just picked it up from Mini after having it full resprayed.

It looks amazing!!!

 

[Rob]

Why's it been painted??

Why's it been painted??

All done on warranty.

They found a pin head bit of rust on both quarters and something on the boot.

There was a bit of lacquer peel on the front end so they sprayed it all.

 

[Rob]

Bloody hell! Flukey git!!!!

 

[Sam]

Bloody hell! Flukey git!!!!

Aye. It's like a brand new car now. I daren't drive it.

 

[Brookie.]

Aye. It's like a brand new car now. I daren't drive it.

You should have got them to colour code the roof and mirrors while they were at it! Looks great mate, can't beat new paint.

Mini's customer service is brilliant though. I had a brand new bootlid fitted and painted for free on my 10 year old Cooper S due to a tiny rust bubble. Can't argue with that!

Aye that's what mine had as well as the rest.

Brilliant customer service and a curtesy car for the week while they had mine. I like the white roof and mirrors.

Colour coded would look a bit to much. I have a set of black mirror caps in the garage which I need to try out. If they look good I'll get the roof vinyled.

 

[jesus]

Looks miles better now than when you got it mate

 

[Sam]

Looks miles better now than when you got it mate :smile:

Cheers. Need to get some better pics at the weekend with the SLR.

Class that mate! Shame it couldnt have waited till march could have had fresh paint for the summer! You thought about that clear wrap?

 

[Sam]

So give the Mini a quick clean the other day and took some pictures for the for sale advert. Its been an epic 2 years and ive just ordered the brand new Mini JCW.

Here she is.

Looks great mate. Shame you're selling it!

I've just re-insured mine for another year and can't see it going anywhere, had it 2 years now! Some recent pics in my thread.

I was viewing your thread the other day. It looks lush. Love it lowered on the standard wheels.

Mines done nearly 80k now and I've had it just under 2 years.

I did kinda regret not getting a JCW at the time and I was a bit naive back then.

I've went all out this time getting a top of the range JCW. Will be my first brand new car.

That's what mine should look like.
