Looks cool, but needs a bit more of your own 'style' added.... perhaps a backbox for the exhaust system, rather than the soppy standard one....

Nice car, 7.5/10

Very nice wheels

I'd say 7. If it was lowered (those 18s look massive, just like my Dares) and had the ariel replaced I would go to an 8.5 or 9.

This is the most unprofessional bit of site management I have seen since I was banned from a certain other site...at least they had the excuse that they were enthusiasts who had strong views and not professionals paid to keep thier cool!

I give it at least an 8... clean the interior and put the regular rear bumper on (I loathe those stickers!) and it would be at least a 9.5! Love the Lapis Blue leather with the Dark Silver... nice choice

OK this might seem like a really stupid question to those that know, but I need an answer!

The black grilles at the front of the car (shown best in picture 1) - where do you get them. Mine has the standard grille which is kind of slatted and I much prefer the one on your car.

The metal grille on the back of the car ( by the exhaust ) - where are these from?? they look fantastic!

Has this car got the Aero Kit? Whats the different between that and stock Cooper S body?

Cheers

Just bought a Mini Cooper S !!

Yes this car has the aero kit. You can get just the aero grilles and convert them to fit your standard bumper. Think Lohen (a site sponsor does this) and there is this thread (http://www.mini2.com/forum/exterior/...inks-pics.html) that explains about this.

As for the rear, this is the aero kit rear and they are the standard stickers (thats it just stickers!!), not to everyone's taste, some people don't use them or you can buy proper mesh or someone recently drilled proper holes into his bumper!!

There are plenty of pictures if you search in the galleries for the aero kit and this will give you an idea of the differnces. I think it looks more sporty. This is my MCS with the standard (although I have the aero kit which I am waiting to fit!!)





Hope that helps!!

BTW KMK163, I will give your car a 8. It needs lowering and the standard aerial changed to a stubby. Loving those wheels and the aero kit confirms that I have made the right decision in getting the front and back bumpers to match my side skirts!!

7/10... I'd go for a CF or Black scoop and some stripes... Viper or standard would look great... Agree with others about the aerial changing it will get rid of the radio controlled look...

Yes I have got a carbon fibre scoop (see gallery), hence why I am desperate to change to the aero kit as I think it will really tie it all in. I think the CF scoop is great (although not to everyone's taste). I am still undecided about the stripes, I have the UJ roof and so I think it will look too busy on my car, but vipers would look great on your car as you have the body colour roof.
