Postby MiniMpi » Sun Feb 17, 2008 7:45 pm

Ger and myself took some photo's today of Sinead's Lovely MINI.
Two mod's done to the car so far can be seen in the photo's-
They are the Cooper 'S' chrome petrol cap and the lovely S Spoke 17" Alloys 8)
Interior mod done so far include the chrome interior bezels for the dash.

Sinead has a plan !! , We have a spare set of S spokes , some spare mirror caps , and a roof that is a 'blank canvas' . more pics when it happens and it might be an idea if Ferg teaches me how to post pics , but things are busy at work so it might have to wait , I will give it a remap as well soon 130 bhp and much smoother .

The clue is in Ger's 'Sig' :wink:
And as a previous MTH mapped MINI ONE owner- GO FOR IT 8)
HUGE difference :wink:
And it is mapped to YOUR car and not like Bluefin which is a general map.

We have been MTH agents for several years and can say we never had a problem , as well as power increase the big improvement is 'drivability' the car is much more responsive and smoother , fuel economy is also improved if you drive the same way as pre remap , it really makes a ONE Fly . price is euro € 450 . ( stg £ 340 ) for the 'tuner ' file , we can update files as well if You fit any further mods ie manifold , head , etc etc .

Actually, the one is a better car to map than the Cooper, it gives the same horsepower as a mapped Cooper, but the longer gearing in the One is much more suited to the extra power. I drove a MINI One Ger remapped before, and it was an animal (It was Ferg's by the way, after he traded it in!)

Did you put the new 'wireless' in Ger? Mikey has the wave to boost looms in stock at the moment!

Very nice choice, Sinead. Black & shiny is one of the best combos out there.

Good for you & well wear.
