Cooper S mods n stuff

Hello all,

Wanted to jump into the forum bit and start discussions on additions and mods for my (your) cooper s. And see what the thoughts are out there...

I thought I would start lightly

sway bar
fog lamps
upgraded intake system (filters etc…)

And upgrade the interior a little, leather for the hand brake and shifter etc… New set of peddles.

what are your thoughts???

I thought my gear stick and handbrake were already leather? And aren't the new all-metal peddles coming out nowish?

For me there's only one mod I'm thinking of and it comes from East Preston, West Sussex, UK... (well okay there are a few other things but that sure is up there at the top of my list! )

Oh and I've got fog lamps too.

Hi beatle and welcome to the forum

Don't really know about sway bars, would like an cold air intake though. Further I'm awaiting the Hamann performance upgrade, which should be introduced shortly. Wouldn't mind some of these Hamann interior mods either, not sure about the price though...

yup i'd go for the body kit first, coz u already paid for the car and why should u change bits in it except for the gear knob, hand brake handle, and pedals.
think u should wait a year or 2 before deciding.....
oooooh who am i kiding? just go for it

Cooper S --- Lots of mods all here

Love the seats not sure about the other interior mods though. Could you please tell me how much the seats are?

Cheers

The leather is a low quality and I wanted to get a higher grade. softer feel.
