My Cooper S

Postby bennyx_o » Thu Sep 18, 2008 8:07 pm

Just figured I'd post some pics of my S for now, and update this as I start to modify it, too. (Hopefully)

Mods so far (From what I can tell anyway) are a one-ball exhaust and some extra gauges (Boost and Air-Fuel)

Nice looking 'S'!!
Looks like you have a modified scoop too, possibly a 'Paul Uber'

It's not a Palo Uber Scoop, it's the M7 Scoop, you also have an external wind deflector fitted for the Sunroof too Benny. Nice machine, and very very cool to have the Xlite alloys, don't change those :)

Thanks :D

I'm not the biggest fan of the wind deflector on the roof so I might have to take it off. The wheels are growing on me, but I'm considering changing them. Forgot to mention it has uprated discs on the front. (Look like Tarox discs, not sure on pads)

Owen, looks like a stick on BBR version tbh, as the M7 scoop had small cut outs to the left and right edges ;)

Good looking MINI Benny...nice! :king:

I think you're right about the scoop, pretty sure it's a BBR. I like it though, hope to get some CF mirrors to go with it soon
