New purchase...Mini Cooper S

[Nafoff]

Mum got this today

well happy with it,

1 lady owner, 44k on clock, FSH, great condition, lots of extras

we were initially looking for a Grey one, but this came up and with the spec and condition is was stupid not too, Hyper Blue is also not as popular it would seem

i have some ideas for it, (only small touches)

Pressed plates, with german plate surrounds, - as the current plates have a crack in the front and a carp plastic dealer surround at the rear,

then a german tax disc holder...

comments and ideas welcome...

Looks Mint..... Plates, Tax Disk Holder and Removal of the Alpine Tree and just leave her to Enjoy it.

Very nice, the 3 spoke wheel transforms them IMO.

i was looking at the wheels and noticed they were 4 studs...i was wondering what my image wheels would look like on it.....must not mod it...ffs

I'm not overly keen on the wheels but I thought you said small touches LOL

BBS Split Rims always look Stunning on Mini's IMO

Nice. I like those wheels, I think they set it off well. The blue with black/blue leather is a nice touch. The cabin feel and everything in Mini's is nice, you can see why they're so popular and hold the money relatively well. The subtle mods you're saying should give it the extra touches to set it out form the crowd. Enjoy!

Love the interior of the new Minis, best bit imo!

Nice buy

Nice, is it a charger or one of the turbo ones? I can't remember when they changed but guessing it's supercharger powered?

Yep thats a charger. An Arab somewhere is planning to buy another house with the proceeds.

My MINI with BBS split rims! :rasp:

That's really nice.

I'd go for grey too if I was getting one. That blue is pretty nice though.

Nice one Mrs Freestone!!

Should get the dash colour coded, cheap mod which looks great.

 

[Aluco]

Argh, I need one of these. How much did you pay if you don't mind telling mate ? just I'm looking at them atm and unsure whats a decent price.

 

[carrmrc96]

I paid £9500 last July for mine, selling mine for £8250

Love the Hyper Blue, the Indi Blue is rank but Hyper changes a lot in the sun.

 

[jayxx83]

hyper blue is a lovely colour and that is a very nice example. changing the pirelli runflats for normal tyres will totally transform the handling and comfort of the car. probably get a couple more mpg as well due to the decrease in unsprung weight.

its a charger one chap, to say i had less than an influence on whether it should be a copper or a cooper S would be an understatement...lol

as for the dash, that will stay as is, love the look of the brushed ali.....the tyres are pretty much brand new so won't be changing them for a while, but will look into normal ones then

Take it to GTT, pay them £400 and have it running at around 220bhp
Bang for buck is great on these cars.

They also go VERY low, the arches just seem to swallow the wheels.

Wish mother would hurry up and give me hers.
