S33BBY · May 10th, 2008, 02:14 PM

aussie11 · May 10th, 2008, 03:57 PM

King James · May 10th, 2008, 10:36 PM

Darthbladerni · May 11th, 2008, 01:03 AM

King James · May 11th, 2008, 10:57 AM

A guy who used to own a red ONE near where I live used to have a playmini exhaust, looks well and sounds really nice!

Need induction now to get rid of the engine noise a bit.

Darthbladerni · Jun 1st, 2008, 01:35 PM

I decided last night im going to do a few more things to the car.

Copper S front bumper, cooper S rear bumper, with aero kit grill conversion on the front and possibly aero side skirts.
Windows tinted this week or next hopefully.

Next year im thinking of coilovers to bring the car right down but im not too sure yet lol

Watch this space

That sounds good, its what I had planned for my One next as it happens (well minus the coilovers) although I need more moneys to do this

. Your MINI is a fine specimen

Darthbladerni · Jun 27th, 2008, 04:31 PM

King James · Jun 27th, 2008, 04:38 PM

I love how the springs look! They sit very very even all round and dropped really low but i wanted to go as low as I can lol

Also my shocks are still stock from 2001 and the ride is getting harder so thought now would be a good time to upgrade just in case the shocks go on me.

King James · Jun 27th, 2008, 04:46 PM

ahhh good plan! nice mod though! cant wait to see what it looks like on the car!

westycoopers · Jun 27th, 2008, 04:59 PM

finally got you coilovers mate,
i know you have been debating weather to get em or not,
looking forward to seein pics.

RyanK · Jun 29th, 2008, 06:39 PM

Big pimpin spendin cheez!

Seriously, that is awesome that you got yourself coilovers...very pimp!!! I am extremely envious lol. Can't wait to see them fitted, should drop it alot more than the Eibach springs!

Darthbladerni · Jun 30th, 2008, 12:28 PM

Hopefully getting them fitted on thursday so pictures will follow

James@fomsport · Jun 30th, 2008, 05:32 PM

nice work chap, as above would defo go for the s-bumpers and an aero grill, then the JCW spoiler and have it CF but have the black parts colour coded yellow, kw v1 are by far the best for the road going mini, we have some going on our demo cooper when i have time.

Im not going to do the cooper S bumpers just yet, im going to get a cooper S top and bottom grill in black with the smooth chrome surround. It almost looks the same but has larger horizontal bars which I really like.
BUT i might still do the S bumpers and aero grill but for the time being cooper s grill will be really nice.

I had an R50 badge on the lower part of the grill but knocked it off accidently when cleaning the car but i want it back.

I had heard good things about the KW1's and im getting them fitted on Thursday now as I just found out so cant wait

James@fomsport · Jun 30th, 2008, 06:07 PM

areo grill made all the difference to our cooper, took a bit of hacksaw fun but it fits flush and looks the part (ours has post face lift bumpers) would have full s-bumpers but we had the full aero kit put on our S when we bought it and bmw 'lost' the stock s bumpers pre delivery

Darthbladerni · Jul 3rd, 2008, 08:40 PM

I am LOW!!

Pictures later, Front is almost right down but needs to settle.

New top mounts required with bearings because the top mounts dont work with it on full lock. The springs twists slightly on full lock.

New bearings, well new top mounts better steering and means I can go lower.
