I am at Sunderland Uni doing Marketing and though its better to start with a one then move up, but my one is becoming an addiction and as far as I can see is a much better car to chop and change than a cooper.

I drive a ONE.

I was 17 when I got it, Virgin wouldn't even look at insuring me on a Cooper!

Black&Blue · Oct 27th, 2006, 11:25 PM

Heres my one listed most things on the car in the ''BEST ONE IN THE FORUM'' most recent xtras are new headlightbulbs and sidelights (halo), full coulour coding and black roof (cooperS spoiler) love it, in my eyes the best one, actually the best MINI

The kind of person who enjoys cheaper car insurance! Gonna stick with the ONE till 25, no other car can match it's quirkiness, individuality and enjoyment behind the wheel at this price.
Student btw!

Hi there, im an 18 yr old student at Portsmouth Uni, studying Property Marketing Design and Development. This is a pic of my mini One, the extras that i have are, Bluefin, Minimania air filter, Minimania exhaust manifold, Minimania lowering springs, bits and bobs of chrome on the exterior, JBL 12" sub and amp, ripspeed dvd player head unit with 7" LCD screen, Minimania badge on the boot. And the mods soon to be are Miltec cat back exhaust, cooperS spoiler, 17" alloys and tinted windows. I love my mini and wouldnt swap it for the world!

You really think so? I was thinking of getting black mesh for the grill, otherwise the whites on the car will be too prominent.... that's my view anyway

I agree with lookalikeJCW, a white grille would really set the front end off. I've seen it once before on a Chili Red with white roof, mirrors, wheels and bonnet stripes and that didn't look 'too much'!

Black&Blue · Oct 29th, 2006, 08:36 PM

ye either that or a blur or aero one like mine, get rid of the black grill because it stands out too much and its too standard ONE to me lol,
