Right i am confused as hell, my MCS is standard bar works filter and Milltek manifold and full exhaust.

I have a £1000 to spend on it as a treat to myself. But what will keep me in love with her for longer, Aero kit and a couple of other extras like HALO's for looks

or

GTT220 conversion to pep up the throttle pedal.

I never thought i could be schizophrenic as i sway fgrom one to the other

What do you prefer to do.

Drive your MINI.

Or look at it.

That should answer your question.

G-Man · Mar 4th, 2007, 09:11 PM

GTT220 all the way!

Paul Webster · Mar 4th, 2007, 09:17 PM

Horsepower all the way

Ant FR · Mar 4th, 2007, 09:22 PM

well i do quite like the way it looks already, so i think i know the answer already don't I,

Well off for a 500 mile roundtrip tomorrow for work so will see what would be most beneficial.

Plus will surprise a few more people i suppose with big ooomph!!! .....lol

alski · Mar 4th, 2007, 09:24 PM

might sound odd, but for some insurance companies the aero kit will be the expensive way to go, another vote for gt220

JDinho · Mar 4th, 2007, 09:30 PM

Get the Aero skirts only and some performance tweaks! The best of both worlds!

JD... voice of reason

Hartge210 · Mar 4th, 2007, 09:30 PM

GTT, you know it makes sense

Get a strutbrace while your'e there

Aberdeen Al · Mar 4th, 2007, 09:32 PM

GTT..........GTT................GTT............... ........GTT..............GTT!

If you can squueze a little more out of your budget go for the +1% crank pulley as well.

Ant FR · Mar 4th, 2007, 11:15 PM

i actually quite like the sound of GTT 220 and then Aero Sideskirts, the one thing that puts me off the Aero kit is the actual rear bumper,

Right i think, GTT 220 and get it booked in for May, then get the Aero sideskirts over summer along with the Aero front Grill and a set of Halo lights . that sound like a plan to me.

British SD · Mar 4th, 2007, 11:54 PM

wheels or brakes

Good Choice

Rigsey · Mar 5th, 2007, 10:22 AM

Another GTT 220 vote from me

Tommy R · Mar 5th, 2007, 07:42 PM

i have a similar dilemma, i dont know weather to spend it on the works kit or lower it and wheels..

but itsa new car and feels fast enough at the moment so i have decided to wait for the works kit til i get bored and want more power

but otherwide between power and looks, if fuel is now an issue, get the gtt!!
permormance wins

Ant FR · Mar 5th, 2007, 10:50 PM

well i have got used to mine now, so the 50bhp hike would be welcomed now.

Ant FR · Mar 7th, 2007, 12:41 PM

as per other thread, all booked in......lol at Gt Tuning of course

M1OY CS · Mar 7th, 2007, 12:46 PM

GTT!

*Vikki* · Mar 7th, 2007, 12:58 PM

aero kit and other mods to look at it, where can you use the speed on todays speed camera, road humps, traffic jams infested roads, if you know of loads of roads where they dont have these go for the performance

Meeerrrk · Mar 18th, 2007, 09:40 AM

GT220!

i got mine done 2days after buying the car and i think its brilliant.

im not a fan of the aero kit either....

I went with the sideskirts from new and then got the GTT220 kit fitted.

As you say, best of both worlds
