hey mini2ers

bored and waiting for MOTD2 to start, was just wandering what changes you'd make to your mini if money were no object, anything from that part you've always longed for to the near damn right ridiculous....

i'd start with painted carbon fibre body panels and roof of the 1st gen mini (prefer the shape)
over the workings of the R56 MCS maybe a twin turbo + s'charged version
and the interior of the 1st gen (prefer that too) only this time with all the options :D
some trick 4wd (think nissan GTR or Prodrive P2) to put the power down
and flat underbelly with propper rear diffuser

any other thoughts? come on its got to have crossed your mind....

I'd get a new head with associated parts, some coilovers, some black r105's, r56 recaros, BBK.

That would do for starters... :D

If I won the lottery, I wouldn't sell the Checkie - she'd be treated to:

Full Works 225 upgrade by Tony Franks
JCW suspension
Full Leather Recaro Interior
Full Aero Kit with decals by Phil the Pirate
Bonnet respray and armourguard
Sound upgrade by Mikey

If i won the lotto !

*** the MINI im getting me a Lambo :D, I would say Works Clubman when its out colour coded, Recaro seats carbon every thing inside, JCW spoiler. New alloys, I could do many a thing :D

Works Sport brakes. I think they might be my next purchase anyway ;-)

I'd contact the MINI plant and kindly ask them to build me a brand-spanking new R53 JCW out of spare parts or stuff they (hopefully) have lying around :P

Or maybe even two...the other one can stay in my living room.

good thinking, i always wanted a brand new mk1 mx5 to replace the rusty one i used to have :D

i am easy pleased

i want to change all 4 tyres from those silly useless runflats to something that actually lets me drive the car as it was desgined to be driven

It would have to be a black Clubbie MCS JCW with blacked out windows and all the JCW options.

It would then have a red stripe down the side to make it look like the A-Team van

Thats for driving everyday

Id then go and hunt for a Paul Smith mini with as few miles on it as possible, along with an island blue mini40:D

and a GP:cool:

air ride suspension
blue/white pearlesant respray
19" lenzo's
full colour code
lambo doors
twin turbo conversion
full boot build (take out rear seats)
factory nav with aux tv's everywhere!
dvd
ps3
MFSW
sprots clutch
porsche brakes

the list could go on and on and on!

Money no object:D

I'd have a GTT 220 convertion + manifold and get a big brake convertion while I was there. A set of quad spot lamps, some good looking alloys that will fit over my big brakes, JCW seats, face lift xenons, GTT strut brace, Koni FSD dampers, nice ICE ( by Mikey of course)..........I think that's about it for now............oh and I'd buy a GP as well with lots of tyres for track days - for both:D

I would go to Mikey and say to him

"Mikey, I want to make bass not war....and money isno object"

Bit similar to Jamie

Full respray to Arctic White
Advan Kreuzer Xi 18's in gloss black
Ohlins suspension
Tarox BBK F&R
R56 Recaros with interior retrimmed in Alcantara
Defi gauges
Custom paddle shifters in billet aluminium
Pioneer flip screen thingy
Arqray/Saclam/DUZ exhaust system
Bond Mini front bumper
GP sideskirts
Engine mods inc Rotrex supercharger
PIAA 004 series spots
Orciari vents
Duell dry carbon A-panels

I think that's about it..............

I'd just be happy with a MINI that didnt have electrical problems every 5 minutes.

Recaro seats like in the 1st gen MINIs would be good too though :cool:

An all Black Cooper S all JCW'd up would also appeal, as money no object I could hire someone to keep it clean and swirl free for me :p

mmm Ohlins

I would sell our R56 S and buy something decent. :angry:

Well I would keep Baron as he is almost perfect:D
But I would have to buy a GP:D:D:D:D

Ohh and a Koenigsegg CCXR Edition;)

along these lines?....

Not a bad start - would need to be a Works, fully de-chromed, black R99's and fuully blacked out rear/side windows :cool:

mmm Ohlins

Yeah, you can keep your cheesy KW's :p

I'd keep my MINI as she is and then buy a Classic Mini Cooper sport.

Heated steering wheel and auto rain sensor for the rear wiper, JCW tuning kit, JCW suspension, JWC brakes and a set of black Ultraleggeras with slicks fitted for track days.

Heated steering wheel would be nice.

I'd get the existing radio ripped out and replaced with a DAB one. Keep the manual gearbox but get rid of the clutch to make changing gear easier (via some smoke and mirrors in the gearbox). And get some front end sensors, as I never know where the front of my car is and end up parking miles away from the wall/house/etc. A horsepower upgrade would be nice too. And definitely get rid of those damn run-flats. Finally, send it to the dealer's for a week so they can try (again) to get rid of the dashboard rattle.

Aww... come on mr Grumpy, you know you love it :wink:

mmm Ohlins

There actually is a Öhlins suspension kit for the MINI? If that is the case I'm guessing it will make the JCW kit look like a bargain... :D
