After market bits and bobs

Hi,

Only a month left till the cooper arrives. Does anyone know of anywhere that\'s released any aftermarket accessories yet?

Basically I\'m looking for things to make the \'loud\' pedal a bit louder, like induction kit and exhaust. I\'ve checked K&N and Pipercross but they don\'t seem to do one. Maybe I\'ll have to use my car as a prototype ;)

Any info on any mods (be it performance, exterior, interior etc)would be appreciated, cheers...

I can recommend Longlife in Cardiff. I had them create an amazing exhaust system for my Mini and they are great. They will basically make anything you want and they are quite reasonable and you have the peace of mind that it won\'t drop off like a home fit might!

Cheers for the link...

I was gonna pay a visit to Powerflow in Southampton but I\'ll have a look at LongLife too I think...

Those 30mm lowering springs will definitely be making their way onto my MINI :) Any ideas who makes them?

Quote from www.motorsportworld.co.uk e-newsletter received 13th Oct:

\"We have started to get enquiries about performance products for the Mini One. So far we have tracked down new springs from Eibach which we will be selling for £110.00 inc VAT. These will be available in 2-3 weeks. Also coming soon is an exhaust system from Piper. Price not available yet. If you know of any other products please let us know and we will offer them at massive discounts as usual !\"

What's the web site to Long Life?

What are the various manufacturers that make/sell lowering springs? I'm looking for a 2inch drop. If anyone know any manufactuer that sells this type of spring, please list them, thanks.
