1. The bonnet stripes are dealer installed accessory. You can get either the Cooper or the S stripes. The S stripes have a black edge on them. I have the S stripes on my Cooper and IMO they look better.

2. I did not own a mini S but I had a mini 850 converted to a 1275 c.c. engine and a weber carb and I believe my mini was faster but I have no proof and the car rattled and shook so much it may have just felt faster!

4. Get the spoiler. it looks good but probably does little for drag.
