Just got this email from Hamann, germany:
------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Alex,

thank you for your e-mail.
We're sorry, but we don't do side skirts for the MINI COOPER S.
As you can see on our homepage we have developed a new front spoiler
for the Cooper S as well as a new rear diffuser.
These parts are wright know in development and will be available in approx.
4-6 weeks.
Also in approx. 4 weeks our brand new sport exhaust system for the new
COOPER S will be available were we get additional 20 hp !
It consists of:
sport exhaust manifold
sport steel catalytics
sport rear muffler

------------------------------------------------------------

This is great news! Here is what the exhaust looks like! Personally I prefer it when the exhaust is on the right, but I suppose this will have to do, as Hamann confirmed to me that they wont move it to the right!

disdis · Aug 3rd, 2002, 04:46 AM

any idea how much for the exhaust?

personally, i think the diffusers look a bit naff...
but the exhaust tips certainly looks brilliant!

alexcroft · Aug 3rd, 2002, 01:04 PM

Disdis,

I ordered the Hamann exhaust for my cooper, before deciding I was gonna get an S. I have now cancelled my order so I can fit this meanie on my S. The cooper exhaust was £250 plus fitting, so anything upto £350 i suppose.

It may not be a bargain, but money well spent!

Alex.

benggolf · Aug 4th, 2002, 03:00 AM

Can anyone ID the alloy wheel and possibly the tire size in the photo above? Looks nice.

That's a Hamann wheel. According to the distributor here, it's the 17inch version pictured. 215/40/17. Go check out their website. It's all there. A word of warning though, it is a very heavy wheel. 11.5kg.

It will be a lot more than that. Look at what it consist of in the email above. BTW, Hamann exhaust is developed by Supersprint.

minime s · Aug 4th, 2002, 10:39 PM

Let's get a group rate going........count me in......

disdis · Aug 4th, 2002, 11:28 PM

yeah... Hamann stuff arent exactly cheap..

will onlybe interested in the cat converter muffler.
the manifold is a hassle to put in and i dont trust any mechaincs here to touch my engine

No, he's a guy in Melbourne, Darren Parker. Can't remember his company's name. He has been the distributor for over 4 years now. There was none before him.

mrk9p · Aug 7th, 2002, 09:18 AM

WAY:

any word from the Hamann guy yet?

btw, my dad saw u at the doncaster car washing place today.... haha!!

i wasnt there, but my dad took my car for a wash today and he told me he saw a MCS with WAY plate. and my green bm was in front of u in the queue....

if only i went there myself (as i was busy) and i could hv introduced myself and hv a chat to u....

my dad said it was a handsome looking car, but wondered why u didnt wash it urself... mmm... well, i dont either,

i always go to those guys and they do a top job..

well, keep us informed about the Hamann pls. i m sure i will c u around someday.

cheers

What a coincidence! Actually most of the time I wash my own car, but lately I have had no time to do it. I am very particular with my car wash, and these guys are very good. Used to bring my other cars there all the time. Glad your dad liked it. Actually it's funny, my dad has always complaint about my cars, but he likes this one.

I have been away, so haven't spoken to Darren. Will try calling him on Monday. He is not always easy to get either. The more I drive this car, the more I think it would just be perfect with a few more ponies. I think we will all need to put our collective heads together and see what alternatives there are to JCW. I am keeping a close eye on the Digi-Tech mod on Targa's car in New Zealand. They sound promising.

disdis · Aug 10th, 2002, 12:10 PM
