Captain, I have the works kit on order which is due for fitment in January which ups it to an estimated 205bhp. Expensive but you keep your 3 year warrenty with it. Hamman are developing a similar upgrade too which may be even better than the works kit and probably a grand cheaper but all BMW...

The wheels you saw could have been R-90s which are a dealer extra. 2 grands worth!!! Ouch.....big ouch. Girl Racer - I thought your friend Sioban had a red cooper with "horrible 17" wheels" as you once put it?? I suppose that knowing you though she managed to get the lead time down to 2 weeks...

Finally arrived yesterday after much waiting. Looks very nice in Dark Silver with black. Cant take it over 4500 revs at the moment which is a bit of pain in the arse as have to change gear rapidly low down but there seems to be plenty of pull through 3rd, 4th and 5th. Exhaust sounds nice and...

Took it out for half a day!!! How the bloody hell did you manage to pull that one off?!?!? I was like 20 minutes with the sales person sat next to me getting very twitchy when it was bouncing off the rev limiter in second and very close to it in third!!! I test drove a 172 a bit back (import)...

Thanks for the kind responses. Yeah bob the builder has definatley got jiggy with it inside as someone once put on here but it is not too extreme. The climate control is really nice with the temperature setting and the row of toggle switches look good to activate stuff like DSC, traction...

My mate picked the 172 up a couple of weeks back (import) from direct cars in Sheffield. A silver one with those terrible wheels which resemple trims rather than alloys. Then appeared a new MG ZR 160 which is old by a lad I used to go to school with but rarely see anymore as he is a bit of a...

My underpowered Cooper S works......really underpowered running 205 bhp GR!! Not going to bother boasting and going through the performance figures but I will safely say it will beat ALL Clio range quite easily. Then again so it should with the combined bhp/torque/handling. Shame it wont be...

Can I gatecrash?!?!

I fancy going for the M Coupe someday. Cant insure it at the moment. Think the next car will be an M3 though in a couple of years or so as I should be on the way to settling down by then and I dont think a mini is the car!!!

Sounds like the same spec as mine Andy apart from the sat nav and it sounds like you have opted for the R-90 wheels. A nice cheeky 2 grands worth of kit they are. Have you or are you going to be upgrading to a "works" version? I have my name down and it should hopefully going in to get a dose...

Got to spend it on something GR.

Cooper S is costing me £1,700 a year based on being 21. Cant get a quote on the works version yet as it is not listed but estimate I will be talking around the 2K mark in January.

Should be January. Also will be 22 then so insurance group 20 wont shaft me so much. No I havent been on the MINI forum but I will take a look as I am sure it will be quite amusing.
