Hi all,

I havent been on the forum lately due to family/work commitments. But heres an Update on whats happening to my car.

After a slight accident on my rear Bumper (Cracked) i'm getting my car back Today. The car is going to be fitted with an Aerokit Bumper just like Todd's.

So When i have time tonight i will be posting some pic's of the car. So stay Tune.

ecylai,

Your cooper is going to look so

when the new rear aero bumper is fitted.

Daniel

Ps:

Just a few questions -

- Do you have any mods under the hood of your cooper ?

- Who installed the MCS side skirts for you ?

OZChris · Feb 5th, 2005, 01:24 AM

Hey Eric

Looking forward to seeing the photos of your car with an aero rear bumper.

It would be great to see more modified Coopers.

Cheers
Chris

I agree, ther a fair number of MCS's that have been modified, but not nearly enough coopers... especially with the body kit.

Glad to be of help to you.

Hi all,

Have my MC back but there are a few things missing on the rear bar. The toe hook cap is missing and the inserts are missing but this problem will be over come by coming saturday as Lil Red will be at the workshop for the final touch up's completed.

Well i have nothing under the hood just a stock standard MC CVT. Initially i had a rampod installed but when the car was idle there were too much hot air in the engine bay hence changed it back to the original Box.

IMO Cooper does not need much work under the hood because MCS is the car for underbonnet work.

PS: Thanks Todd for the Info
All my exterior work is done by prestige auto salon at rydalmere. They have done a fab job on my car.
Photos will be posted in the morning

n00b · Feb 5th, 2005, 01:52 PM

What's next after the rear bar getting done?

ecylai · Feb 5th, 2005, 10:24 PM

nothing planned yet maybe some springs or a front lip on or the other i think.

ecylai · Feb 5th, 2005, 10:49 PM

As promised here they are guys

ScottyB · Feb 6th, 2005, 01:56 AM

Looks hood Eric!

Heaps beefier

OZChris · Feb 6th, 2005, 05:45 AM

Hey Eric

Looks great.

I can hear the cry of 'bring on the mods' - maybe a new chunky exhaust?

Cheers
Chris

ecylai · Feb 6th, 2005, 09:53 AM

Mmmmm Cat Back ...

Todd! · Feb 6th, 2005, 09:57 AM

meeeeooooowww!

n00b · Feb 6th, 2005, 11:45 AM

Look sweet as those piccies

Next mod..Maybe get some clear front blinkers? Kinda look weird with the orange one right now IMHO.

ecylai · Feb 7th, 2005, 05:47 AM

mmm that gives me some ideas ..... might be side and front white blinkers.

Got myself some hella Plus 50 Whites installed in my car. Man they are bright but not as bright as xenon ofcourse.

Anyone know how much is the white side indicator shell?

ecylai · Feb 7th, 2005, 05:51 AM

Do you guys thing i should get the insert installed or leave it as it is and just get the cap done.

Todd! · Feb 7th, 2005, 06:01 AM

I dont mind the inserts now that I have had them for a while - I have begun to think that all other cars look weird without the aero kit...

Todd

I've seen them go for $30AUD over here (HK) but haven't seen them in Aust - maybe you could snap the MCS ones there?

Definitely fit the insert kit, your car looks like there's something missing there.
