see if you can track JP down (goes by the name of jpsmini), this is on his to do list, and he'll probably have a fairly good idea what's involved...

Good luck

Yes it can

As far as I know all you need is an extra set of hangers/rubbers, im just in the process of doing the same thing
Havent actually done it yet, just trying to find out exactly whats needed before i start.
Lee, try searching the forums there are alot of posts on this already

I'd heard that the floor pan in the boot is different and that means that it won't fit. So can we hear from someone who's successfully done it?

is it any different to fitting it to a cooper?

Think JP mentioned something about just having to get rid of the spare wheel or something. Not 100% sure, but he's bound to turn up like a bad penny sooner or later, and will either tell me I'm talking rubbish and haven't been listening to him, or that, yes indeedy, I am very clever, and honestly do have a clue what he's on about

It can be done - well i got one fitted to my MOC. I got a friend to do it, he works with Minis all the time. The convertible was a little trickier because it has cross bracing along the floor and i needed to make a few adjustments. But from what i understand on the regular One or Cooper, everything should be basically the same as the S - although if you don't have run flats then you'll need to get rid of the spare tyre. Just get a can of tyre weld or something similar in case you get a flat! You may just need an extra hanging bracket and rubber bushes to hang the new exhaust. By the way the S exhaust sounds much better than the standard One exhaust. No one could tell me before i got it done if it sounded any different - but it definately does sound sportier. Theres a little extra drone a motorway speeds, but the noise it makes when chasing the red line definately makes up for it!! Sorry i couldn't be of more help on the technical side of things, but i just want to reassure you it can be done!! Good luck.
