Probably one of their courtesy/test cars - is it hyper blue with a black roof by any chance?

Thanks for the reply. It is an 05 model, Cool Blue with a Blue Roof. What was a "sound kit" and approx cost and did it actually boost performance or was it similar to the just really loud old skool "cherry bomb" exhausts from circa 1980? I just wondered if anything was done to the engine, it had the chrono pack fitted if that leads to any clue. I was wondering if a Mini Cooper with "Works" on it would be more to insure. Some members have reported that after a visit to JCW that their regular Cooper showed up as an "S" on their V5, so something major must have been done!

Cheers!
