Glad I didn't make the trip all the way to AMD to get mine fitted then would have been a wasted journey, but we'll never know unless there is a cab out there already with one on

Here's what they told me:

Hi Paul,

Many thanks for your interest in Milltek Sport products. There are a few fitment differences between the Cooper S Cabrio and the Cooper S. We have a Cabrio coming in to our factory next week to have a system developed for it. As soon as I have any details I will let you know.

Kind regards,

Pete Withers

well makes me even more glad I didn't take mine to AMD, who seem to know not a lot about the MINI

jon vital · Aug 29th, 2005, 05:50 PM

There was a thread last week from a cabrio owner who tried to get one fitted and was none too pleased when it didn't.

UKC4 · Aug 29th, 2005, 10:36 PM

I will ask prices on manifolds, but I cant promise anything! But will let u now.

As promised keeping you updated, Milltek upto this reply have not contacted me or replyed to my e-mail!!

I will contact them by phone tomorrow to find out if they have any intention of replying to me (Maybe summing up prices).

As for AMD i am still unable to get on to there website, if anybody has got a web address for them please let me now. I will contact them by phone tomorrow to ask for prices.

I have also contacted Awsome GTI (Spelling to check) via e-mail and am awaiting a response. This company seem to have a brilliant warehouse, rolling road and stuff and look reputable (Check spelling).

Sorry Thats all I have at the moment, you can whip me later!!

Hi all, Right I have some news from Lohen, they have given me percentages off depending on the quantity. See below for % and a note on fitting!

2 systems - 5% off (our retail price)
5 & over - 10% off
10 & over - 20% off
25 & over - 25% off

We can help with fitting the exhausts for those who are located locally to
us.

As for Milltek and AMD I am still awaiting on an answer.

jon vital · Aug 31st, 2005, 01:28 PM

20% off for 10 orders is very good. I reckon we can get 10 people.

Roll up, roll up, get you Milltek exhausts here!

For those thinking about it, the Milltek is not a boy-racer loud exhaust. It's slightly louder and has good size tailpipes which is something the MCS really needs.

uncle albert · Aug 31st, 2005, 01:31 PM

20% is a realistic target I think - would work out at a rather tasty £332 for the S system (and a measly £212 for you One/Cooper owners) (I think). If they did come from Lohen, I'd probably get them to sort some suspension for me at the same time.

I have a friend who is the official UK distributor for Milltek exhausts (exclusive for Vauxhall, BMW and Lotus)

I've mentioned this thread to him and he says he can at least match the prices in the previous group buy and with no minimum order. If you get 10 or more then he'll do some more sums to see what else he can do

He has premises and could also offer fitting if required - URL for info (although nothing MINI related yet) http://www.thorneymotorsport.co.uk/

Shorty · Aug 31st, 2005, 01:49 PM

Sounds good

cooper7 · Aug 31st, 2005, 03:35 PM

That sounds really good, if the prices could take another tumble i'm sure we'd get even more interest!

jon vital · Aug 31st, 2005, 03:55 PM

Nice one Shiny. Where his he based?

shinyandy · Aug 31st, 2005, 04:01 PM

I really don't want to step on anyone's toes so will wait for the thread originator to give a thumbsup before giving out more information

Have spoken to him again and he's organised as many groupbuys as I have and knows what a nightmare they are so he's keen to just do a good deal for everyone irrespective of numbers
