Hi all
A guy at work got his Cooper S two days ago, used it a day, and then only went and had it modified yesterday - lowered, wheels, tyres, tints, stripes etc!!!!!
I just took some pics for him at lunch so thought I'd share them
Enjoy

Scoobychick - He got this one and his mate got another S (though he already has a Cooper with Nitrous!!!) I believe his mates S is now winging its way to Superchips "for development"
Astraboy - Yep I did think that myself, though I guess the alloys and profile of the tyres aren't helping matters!
You should see under the bonnet though (I know, I forgot to take piccies!) - talk about no space, the windscreen washer bottles are virtually in the doors and the battery is in the boot so at least its keeping that old Mini tradition of a rusty boot floor

Whats the Drivel "jelly test" going to be like in that dropped thingy now?
Look it's even got a handle on the roof at the back to lift it up, that was if it was a proper mini.
Don't like it (not just that one) sorry - I'm sure you'll find a buyer sooner or later ;-)

LOL!
It does seem to be a "love it or loathe it" doesn't it
I didn't like the new mini myself at first but it is growing on me now - though only in this 163(?)bhp S form!
I'm also reserving judgement on performance and handling, I've told him I won't go out in it until its run in and he's got used to throwing it about

Must admit that looks very smart indeed.
The more i see these the more i am getting to like them.after all they are made by BMW and we all know the germans are good when it comes to engineering.

That's lowered? Needs to get his money back. Mrs Cs has the MINI Sports Suspension Plus and sits lower than that (also on 17").
Nice but..
Tints are too 'pimp' 50% looks better on a MINI, that looks at least 30%
Loose the blacks bonnet strips
Add the Chrome Grill spotlights
Add the white lamp kit
