Green Cooper Noise

Hey!
I just got a mini and I am 17. It is a ONE.

Is there any way of making it louder. Not is a scally way, just like a deeper noisier sporty kind of noise that makes you smile!

I can't let it do anything to my insurance though at all.
Is there any way?

Regards, ben

Quicksilver exhaust but you are really meant to tell the insurance. It`s up to you through
Go on : WWW.COOLNEW.CO.UK, WWW.MINI-DESIGN.COM, WWW.MINISPEED.CO.UK, WWW.LOHEN.CO.UK

In my opinion i have seen your car, Colour code the arches and it really will look the dogs ********. Colour coding is about £250 and you don`t have to tell the insurance

a k&n will make it sound very loud when u plant your foot!! and as for asking if it makes more exhaust sound

it is classed as a modification and your supposed to tell your insurance but thats up to you!

good luck

some sexy rims...

That's really a big thing which really will make your MINI stand out from the rest. There are 1000s and 1000s of choices out there, so check out a few galleries (including my own )on here to see if anything takes your fancy. Big rims will look great with your colour coded arches.

Again though, your insurance company really ought to know- and that really applies to anything you change from the standard. Basically anything which makes the car more desirable to thieves the insurance company will want to know about.

If your car is in an accident, or something happens to it where the insurance company gets involved, if they see parts on it that you haven't declared, they can in theory declare your policy null and void, thus leaving you with no insurance cover...
