Cool Met Mike Cooper today with his amazing cooper S!

That's right guys! Met the man himself at JCW garage in East preston today!

He said he would of never thought my MINI was a ONE when i told him it was And said my MINI was really nice!

The guys from JCW loved my MINI what i had done to her, and really like her having a red roof! so thats made me stop wanting vipers! They said its really nice to see, and makes it more unique!

They were telling me how they done Simon Cowells x2 MINI's each costing alot of ££! and how one guy has spent 75k on his MINI Cooper S, and keeps going back to JCW to get stuff done! As like me he keeps changing his mind and changing things his got on the car!

Then Mike Cooper got in his gorgeous! costing 55k!!!!! MINI Cooper S and zoomed off! ( mite i add despite it having a JCW zorst and every option on the MINI list ticked it sounded no better than my ONE! )

The MINI was made to look like his classic he owns in the show room garage! He has had it colour coded in Rolesroyce Blue, retrim JCW full seats in connolly leather with Wilton carpets! and an estimated 15K number plate! not to mention loads more extras! I'l let the MINI speak for its self! Here are some pics taken earlier!.....

It is an Aero front bumper, he's just had something done with the large lower grill (as you can see).

very

nice to see he has had the rear calipers painted to match the front JCW ones

I am sure that H15 FUN used to be his Dad's plate on his classic mini, so looks like Mike got that from him, it is a great plate

The only problem I have is knowing which one to drive?

Yes the 'hi5 fun number plate they still have on the unused classic in the show room. The aero kit he has on the car , has the standard cooper s grill on the top then bottom is the aero kit with a different bottom grill.

Has anyone else seen his MINI before and met him?

I met him several times, first he had a red mini, then a white one. His daughter had a purple one.

He changes his car often.

However, last time I met him he had just taken possession of an Aston Martin (cant rememeber which one, vanquish or DB7) and he was dead chuffed.

I guess thats what you can have when you have sold 10k JCW kits at 4k each

Every option ticked, all JCW, so whatever the highest JCW bhp out put is, it should be!

His got a mfsw, carbon fiber dash, steering wheel, re trim jcw seats, carbon fiber boot lid/mirror caps/air scoop etc etc, the gorgeous spoiler is £500! so the money goes quickly!

that plates worth no more than £3k, and that car is not worth 55k....

Oh, forgot to say, saw that Aston martin of his at Beulieu last summer, and it had the 'HIS FUN' plate on (it was a DB9) so perhaps he's sold the AM?
