Loads of people on here have new MINIs in different colurs and specs etc.....
But if you did not have to worry about money what is your ideal MINI.

Heres mine,

R56 MINI cooper S
Laser blue
Chilli pack
White roof
JCW aero bodykit
17 inch white flame spoke alloys
Chequered door mirrors
Chequrered sunroof
White bonnet stripes
Front spotlights
Strut brace
Sports brakes
Blue/black sports seats
Blue colourline
Sat nav
climate control
MFSW
heated seats
crome line interior
hifi system
DAB radio
DSC
silver interior trim
darkened rear glass
rain sensor and lights on
auto dim interior mirror
LSD
sports suspension
Park distance control
exterior mirror pack
antharite roof lining
Chequered interior mirror

I think thats kinda it for now.
The final price is about £24.000

So forget about the money and whats your ideal car.

i think this has been discussed before. Yawn. You've basically listed all the optional extras.

That will be one heavy car with nothing to improve performance.

I don't see anything that mentions upgraded suspension, brakes, engine, exhaust.

Think outside of the box.

Cheers,

Rear engined Clubman with a V6 or V8 engine driving the rear wheels.

Small electric motor in the front dirving the front wheels, but thats just so its a tax and congestion charge exempt vehicle as its a hybrid :P

Totally blacked out in the back so you cant see the engine.

Stock looking on the outside, but slammed to the ground.

Either black or orange. Probably orange.

I would have custom Leather seats with embroidery on them of my own design. Matching leather dash with my own design to match the seats. Custom paint job in a BMW deep blue maybe with silver roof and silver scallop highlight graphics. I definately wouldn't have any factory fit wheels. Maybe the R90s as they are fab but in 18", lowered? Blue coloured callipers (thinking about doing this to a supercharged S anyway)

Oh yeah with different dials like GP's anthracite ones maybe with blue tonned lights instead of the red/orange ones. Like the mood lighting but don't like the fact that the dail colours don't change to match.

Like GTT260 says think custom not BMW/MINI!

I'm not really a engine upgrade type of girl but I would definately have a JCW style exhaust, maybe a visit to GTT?

That's more like it......custom.

[:: Jon ::]

R53 Cooper S
Solid Black
17" OZ Superlegeras
Porsche Brakes
Coilovers
Full Roll Cage
Front Race Seats
4 Point Harness Kit
Larini Exhaust
15% Super Charger Pulley
2% Crank Pulley
JCW Modified Head
Larini Manifold (de-cat)
plus a few other bits and pieces... so really other than the rollcage, seats and manifold... what I have already got is my ideal one.

My ultimate would be a Cool Blue MCSC with the full Aero, R90s, Chilli and Vis packs - those'd be my only MINI Options.

Then I'd have Mikey do me a fab ICE install - move the heater controls and toggles down to make way for a 7" screen mounted between the downtubes, he can also do amps and speakers, and some other of his cool mods.

Then she'd be off to Roland @ GTT for 250ish bhp - nuff said. Stump up for the triple brace kit and some stopping power while I'm there

Following all that, I'd have an interior re-trim, going with half leather and Alcantara - bit like the sports seats in Dads MGZT.

[sel]

Id have:

pepper white / and pink design
MCSC - Pink roof!!
Pink/Silver Wolfrace wheels
Cream/pink edged leather interior
The best ICE system money could buy
All my dials/foot wells/door linings done out with pink lights
Chrome
pink fridge
all the latest mod cons
and my own private plate Sel1n4

....not much else :-)

[I love MINI, Laura]

Nice ones Jon x 2! Cool Blue is just lovely!

Congrats on you already having your dream MINI Jon! It is beautiful! Wish I could do what I want! Plans are in the pipeline though!

[Hat]

a brand new Paul Smith classic

...is this turning into a "who has the most modifications" thread... if so, then step aside

Now you're talking!

My choice would still have to be a GP or failing that a MCSC Sidewalk with a Works Kit.

Thinking about it a bit more, I would have the 6.0L V8 500bhp Vauxhall Engine with the Supercharger setup in the back..... but tuned up even more!

Whole body made from carbon fibre with a full welded roll cage inside.

Matt orange, with unpainted viper stripes front, top and back of car so you can see the carbon.

that's just silly. But then again, i guess this thread is too

I think my ideal Mini would be fully de chromed, with cira 230bhp and plenty of work in the braking/suspension areas and some tasty BBS split rims
