Simone's R53 Tranformations - MINI Cooper Forum

So I thought I would put together a project thread. I haven't been on here long but had the car a year and 5 months but the mods have taken off mainly in the past 6 months.
I am still getting there with the car but I thought I would show what I have done so far.
So I have an R53 Cooper S, 03 Plate.
So when i bought it he looked like this:

I then decided to take the plainess off the front of the car buy adding 4 spotlights. I also decided to smooth the bumper off so I could have a side mounted pressed plate.

The next thing on the agenda was to tint the back lights, front lights and put in LED side lights and lower the car 30mm.

I then turned my attention to under the bonnet and opted for a strut brace and and to colour code the pipes.

More to follow in the next post.

Despite the awful weather yesterday the coilovers were fitted. Excuse the rubbish pics but best I can get atm. They're AP coilovers.

Can you see with the headlights tinted?

Love the colour, starting to wish I'd went for grey now, was my 2nd choice when I bought mine, but it's now 1st.

You lose points for the off-center import style front number plate, nobody is fooled into thinking you've got a Mitsubishi Evo 6
