Heres a few pictures after a good wash and polish, our 2001 R50 Mini Cooper.




Keeping with the original look, I just like to keep it clean and tidy.

Thanks for looking.

Thanks all!

Replaced the battery on the mini recently - real easy job, went for an Exide Mini EXCELL BATTERY TYPE 063 44AH | Euro Car Parts UK?s No.1 Car Parts Retailer Seems to do the job.

Gathering some servicing parts together now and I'm also going to use a K&N panel filter and some bosch super 4 plugs, hoping to 'spark' some life back into the mini as it seems a little 'lumpy' - so a full oil flush and filter change should help.

Little update........
Service complete, new Bosch super 4 sparks, Mintex front discs and pads, oil change, filter changes inc K&N and new exhaust..... changed to drive completely, much more of a joy to drive - monies well spent.
