Post pics of your R56 - no matter whether it's a One, Cooper, Dooper, Cooper S... just one rule, NO
Wanna see what people have, what configs people have gone for really. It seems the general ownership now is larger than when I collected mine back in the day.

Here's mine (again) - He's called Kamoze and has just done under 5000 miles since Dec 4th 2006.

Plans include lowering, and probably viper stripes and small subtle door stripes.

mister.t · Jul 30th, 2007, 08:26 PM

Heres my contribution

Now done just over 5k miles since Jan 17th 07. Very happy with it. Just those indicator lenses

Cruise Control with MFSW was a great option and highly recommended

Go to NewMINIStuff.com
I'm going to replace my horrid side repeaters with these.

C00per Man · Jul 30th, 2007, 08:43 PM

Here are a couple of mine. Ive done 4000 miles now and apart from some minor problems getting the bonnet aligned and a dashboard rattle fixed all is going well.

Nice motor Ollie.

Ollie: i bet that interior is a bugger to keep clean !
i think i'm the only one who stuck with a standard interior

The "Little Ba$tard, Too"

DS/W R56 MCS 6-speed with Sport, Premium and Cold packs. Redwood Red Leather. Chrome line inside & out. LSD. Sport Suspension on H&R lowering springs. Tint. Clearbra. SilverVision bulbs + Hoen Xenonmatch fogs & drivers. Alta stubby antennea. Hi-Fi & iPod connector.

Future plans?

Engine: JCW Stage I due later this month. I finally decided to go that route and have a deposit down on the first kit coming to my dealer. I figured it's the only kit that will actually increase the performance while mailtaining the factory warranty in those areas. It's also probably the only kit that increases resale value on the car long-term. Not that I'm think that far ahead... I just used that to justify it to my wife. I LOVE this car! It's sticking around for some time!

This has however put al cosmetic mods on the back burner for a while.

Oh! And if I could only find someone who is also devoid of taste to make this into a magnetic grille badge:

KenL · Jul 31st, 2007, 08:23 AM

You do realise that these replica side repeaters are not exactly identical to the actual BMW/MINI Cooper S ones? I was going to get these for my new MINI when it arrives, but because they were not identical to the Cooper S side repeater units, I decided to buy them off my dealer instead and have them fitted to my car before I collect it in August...

adam_Randell · Jul 31st, 2007, 01:49 PM

Heres mine! I have Viper stripes, lowering 35mm soon, 18" alloys, aero grill, (soon to have the full cooper s kit), cooper s spoiler and a big bore exhaust (changing to coooper s style) o yea and neons! lol (neons now taken off

Greenie1 · Jul 31st, 2007, 02:09 PM

Becca3003 · Jul 31st, 2007, 03:00 PM

Here's mine!

adam_Randell · Jul 31st, 2007, 04:40 PM

Yea, im afraid i had to go for the neons lol. Looks quite good at night, even better with the aero kit on.

bond101 · Aug 1st, 2007, 04:40 PM

Heres mine, Il post some more exterior and interior pics in the coming week when aero kit and 18" are fitted and ****iblu roof graphic, oh and my new whalen shift knob! awesome!

FergusM · Aug 1st, 2007, 05:00 PM

Here's mine... MCS, JCW aero kit.. now done 1k miles...and waiting for last 200 to be done so I can open her up properly

rec · Aug 1st, 2007, 05:00 PM

hmm, are those stripes MINI ones or aftermarket ?

bond101 · Aug 1st, 2007, 05:12 PM

who me?

Well they came from the local mini garage, so unless they are buying them cheap and passing them off as real (completely believeable knowing car dealers!) then yes they are real, why do you ask?

Please do your MINI and all other MINI owners a favour and get rid of the neons - these should be reserved for chavtastic cars like body-kitted boy racer cars.

A very nice car otherwise BTW
