What would you spend £4K on?

[Mini Vikki]

Hi,

Our beloved and gorgeous Black Cooper S is due to be replaced at the end of this year, but due to our dislike of the new model we're considering upgrading the current car for another 2 years with a budget of around £4K.

So, what would you spend it on, we're considering the following:

GTT 220+ (Not sure if this includes an exhaust as it needs larger pipes - can someone advise?? Also, is the 230+ package worth the extra?)

New Exhaust if not included within GTT Pack

Brakes Upgrade (Not a clue on this - anyone got suggestions? We're not interested in track useage, just better stopping power with the extra power)

New Alloys (currently got 17" Bullets but are considering 18" Works Wheels 5 spokes)

Full bodykit - currently got side skirts, but think it needs the full kit for a new look

Lowered Springs - Not a clue how this much would cost?????

Full paintwork buff up - Let's be honest, the cars nearly 2.5 years old and has had more than its fair share of supermarket dings and scuffs

Given that £4K may not cover all of that, which would you do and why - the Missus is just as interested in posing as I am in performance.......so, go figure............what would you do with the dosh??

Thanks in advance.

GTT 220

Better brakes

Eibach Lowering springs.

Would leave 18's out, not worth it imo.

I'd go to Miami for next years Winter Music Conference and maybe spend what's left on CDs and MINI United and even a little something for my MINI !

Thanks guys - where do we go for the brakes and springs?

[MINI-Morgan]

Aero Kit and Eibach Springs £750 inc VAT, Minisport
GTT230(i've got that) 1645+VAT (get the uprated tenstioner pulleys too) - Includes the exhaust oneball mod too so makes the car sounds so much better!
GTT SpiroSlot brakes front and back £278+VAT (Thats the track pads on the front and kevlar rears) Brilliant brakes!

Get all the fitted and you might still have change if you're lucky. I did say lucky.... damn tax man.

Sounds perfect - do we get bigger exhaust pipes with that, the standard ones just a little too weedy for our liking!!

?

Thanks,

When you talk to Roland at GTT ask about some new tips. You might be suprised that there is some much larger slash cut ones becoming available very soon

walk away with rest of money and have a holiday

GTT 220 conversion, and miltek exhaust. and finish off the aero kit. Walk away with the other 2k in your pocket and save it.

Should be able to do the above for under 2k, also have a pro valet including paint detail for around #150. Again still in your 2k budget. 18's really would'nt be worth it imho, bullets look nice as they are.
