You're making me want one lol.

There's one at my local dealership for 15k, thata out of my budget, if it was closer to 11 though.........

New update

finally got the Brembo's on after a few problems namely - wrong Braided lines - me ordering the incorrect extended bolts and getting them fully bled properly.

went for a little run this afternoon so piccies from that

New brakes

new things on the Horizon - Strut brace and possibly some colour coding

and hopefully Mr RussZcs can give it a quick going over with the machine polisher very soon!

 

[Jamie]

One of these on the client site I'm working at, at the moment. Do think they look really nice and the interior is proper funky - it's just the price tag I can't get over. Really not sure if I was spending £12k what I'd be going for.

What are the running costs like on these little beauts? How stiff is the suspension from standard?

Running costs arent too bad ive been getting 35 -39MPG on a decent run at 70mph

around town drops to about 22-24MPG and below 20's when really giving it some

suspension is rather firm not sure if i could deal with it on a daily basis but as a weekend car its perfect

 

[withoutabix]

Lastest addition!

 

[chrispy.clio]

Thats a cool/posh looking strut brace

 

[david hodson]

Nice these made by GT tuning that used to build mental renault 5 gt turbos?

Really? The best I've had out of my non-JCW S is 32?

 

[withoutabix]

ye on the trip down to TDF was practically 70miles sat between 70-80mph and the Ave Mpg sat at 36

on the way back i reset again but gave it a few more revv's and it dropped to 29ish

 

[withoutabix]

Another quick fire update

Had My old GP badge lying about so decided to use it under the bay

 

[mr bognor]

Just had a look at this thread and seen you have the exact same seats in the mini as i have in my Coupe . leather recaro with the red stiching do they come std with the mini ???????

 

[ben_p]

Lovely car. Very special and great to drive. Have fun and get it on track.

 

[Christopher]

KW's!

Nice!

 

[ForceIndia]

Oooooooh kw's. I will be over for a look!

 

[withoutabix]

Indeed V1's was tempted by some adjustables but decided that they wernt necessary so stuck with these

 

[mas]

!

 

[withoutabix]

Got some new "dirty" pics

Got my first DSLR so been taking a few pics not the best but practice makes perfect

some ive messed with some in post processing.

 

[Addz]

Pfft thats not dirty... mines a right state

And my second timing chain tensioner has just packed up, thats the second in two months

 

[jayxx83]

Looking sweet dude. Loads of ex clio and meggy owners are onto these coopers now.

Really!! whats the symptoms your getting then? rattling on idle?

Looking sweet dude. Loads of ex clio and meggy owners are onto these coopers now.

ye does seem to be a trend, think its just there easier to mod

 

[Englebert]

Some nice mods. I think i would have gone for CF interior bits, rather than the matt black. Did you wrap the steering wheel innards as there is a missing JCW logo, and the finish doesn't quite look right? Also, CF downtubes look pretty cool (especially as the standard ones are very cheap plastic). Would also get the alcantara gearstick/handbrake gaiter for that little touch to match the wheel... not exactly cheap though

 

[withoutabix]

cheers dude the wheel inserts are just wrapped in di-noc trying to steer clear of a proper full on CF interior as my dad has it in his JCW so would feel like im copying lol

i do need to change the gaiters tho as ive got a small rip in my handbrake one!

 

[Leeshez]

Looks not too bad.

 

[Addz]

Yep mines rattling like a tractor... or was. Seems to magicly fixed itself after a damn good thrashing last night!

I'm also pleased to say my exhaust is f**ked. De-cat and manifold seems to have removed my baffles and spread them all over the back of my car... sound ace through and spits flames :rasp:

 

[withoutabix]

wheel Gap finally deleted

My major concern was my quite steep driveway and actually getting over the lip of the drive once lowered.

this is the gap now!! maybe 1mm of clearance and it does scrape should somebody decide to sit in the passenger seat but its worth it!

 

[Dave..]

Like that, quite a lot

 

[The_Pirate]

I love these but as stated, they hold their value exceptionally well! Good if your selling, not so much when you want one (Me) lol

Outstanding additions pal

 

[Naith]

oh now that is a quality upgrade, mega impressive neil.

 

[Silent_Scone]

wouldn't of thought it would made all the difference but it has... looks menacing

 

[withoutabix]

Cheers lads loving the look but not enjoying speed bumps!! ohwell

comparison photos

 

[The_Pirate]

Thats pretty low!

 

[ForceIndia]

Too low for me.

 

[The_Pirate]

You're gay though?

 

[ForceIndia]

Quite the opposite. Iirc gays like a stiff ride.

 

[Christopher]

Epic.

 

[Englebert]

Not sure, just too much going on for me! I know its all standard, but you've got the showy wheels, black arch trims, orange running lights, red brakes, red mirror covers, silver fog surrounds...

I'd be on a colour coding mission if it were mine!

 

[david hodson]

Looks great , but how stiff is the ride now and couldnt be bothered with worrying about dodging pot holes and speed humps,i must be getting old
