MINI2

Darthbladerni · Oct 31st, 2007, 04:50 PM

I have had my Yellow 2001 Mini One for a couple of months now. Still stock but i have been thinking of what to do with it and have had some guidance from this forum and also some ideas on what to do. I just want some peoples opinions before i purchase.

I am getting new rims first of all, as the car is yellow I was thinking darker rims possibly black. I was thinking about 18inch with a 2" tyre, what have other people done and what looks good and rides well??

I am getting a spoiler from my local dealer anyway coded of course in the yellow.

I am also going to be getting a full exhaust system, i was thinking scorpion or playmini but once again i value opinions of people here, past experiances etc.

Any opinions? i know it would make such a difference to the look and the sound, it would luck amazing act. Im only 19 so dont want to spend alot of money and not like it.

ANy help appreciated.

I'd take 17" rims, to be honest. Spoiler...are you getting the S spoiler, or the chili one?

Exhaust...I'd choose Milltek or Borla if I were you. But after all I don't know well those you mentioned so they might be even better...

i have this for sale pm me if interested,very good condition can suply pictures off car

i think the 17's would be better, s spokes or bullets, possibly anthracite could look well?

mate, i would advise the milltek exhaust check out Welcome To Lohen.co.uk - New Mini Tuning and Performance Specialists they are awesome. Try maybe a blufin (chip) and as pipercross viper (induction) both are awesome. Those rims for sale look pretty sweet also have a look at www.keiracing.co.uk i love the wheels on there expecially the force10 in hyperblack just a few ideas hope they help...

You may want to tell people roughly how much you have to spend if you dont mind all helps :P

what are those wheels?

Lammy · Nov 1st, 2007, 09:25 PM

Sounds good to me. A black an yellow theme will look a treat. Smoked rear light clusters may be?

Darthbladerni · Nov 1st, 2007, 11:19 PM

I can see myself spending over a grand on the car over the next while.

Those rims are really nice, im thinking about it

And yeah i have noticed those exhausts also, alot of people seem to have them.

Do alot of you get lowering springs for ur cars if ur on 17's or just leave it as it is?

Ramon · Nov 1st, 2007, 11:20 PM

WOW! I had a look at the UK distributors of www.keiracing.co.uk and fell of my chair when I saw the prices!

PS: Paul could I have Madeirense flag icon please?
