My Mini Cooper S

Hey everyone,

So about 6 months ago my family picked up a new 2010 Mini Cooper S 6 speed stick and after 5,000 mles i gotta say its one of the most fun cars we have driven and owned . The Mini has been my familys fav car for the past few years and since my mom traded in her E60 530xi she wanted a smaller and more sport like car. The aero kit i think makes it look really good. Some modifications to come are 20% window tint all around and 5% tint on the sun roof, K and N air filter and a JCW shifter and a black front grill. Any other ideas for modifications are welcome if anyone has any ideas that you think would look good. I am new to the MINI car line and dont know much anbout modification on these cars like I do on my E39.

Here are some pics from a few weeks ago!!!!!
Enjoy

Very Nice Mini
Hopefully one day I'll be able to get back into an R56 or maybe even a countryman

Congrats on your new MINI! They really are amazing cars to drive, you get wonderful road feel and steering and shifting. And of course, the handling always makes me smile.

I'm getting tempted by the 1 Series M, but my Cooper S has always done everything right. Potential modifications are endless. I'm sure you'll be building a list quickly, it's inevitable with the MINI.

"Charlize" 2006 R53 Dinan Signature Mini Cooper S, Dual Chronograph, LSD, Stainless Brake Lines, Cross Drilled Rotors. ALTA: Intercooler, Rear Sway Bar End Links, Rear Lower Control Arms, DINAN: Dinan Valved Koni struts and shocks, Custom Dinan Eibach Sport Springs, Free Flow Dinan Sport Exhaust, 18 inch Dinan / Jongbloed Racing 3 piece forged black anodized wheels, Dinan upgraded fuel pump system, Dinan Rear Sway Bar, Dinan Floor Mats.

Did you get Dark Silver? Here's a snap of my Charlize. Your painted aerokit and wheel arches look perfect!



Is that a piano black interior? I have the painted to match interior, but I think piano black is so nice.

Let's see here, it's a German car masquerading as an English car, but it has some French to it (meaning Citroen 4 banger engine)... Confusing, but it's still a nice sled.
