Hi everyone, I'm will and im new to this forum but not new to the mini franchise. I am 22 and the only car I have ever driven since 17 is a mini (only the new ones tho). I started off with a blue 2005 R53 Mini One, replaced that when I was 19 with a red and black 2007 R56 Mini Cooper with black bonnet stripes. Unfortunately I crashed that and decided to get something a little less lary for insurance purposes so got a 2010 R56 Mini First in white

. Now that the insurance has gone down however I have been able to afford a 2010 R56 Cooper
JCW in red and black with black bonnet stripes. I ordered it last week and should be available for pick up this w/e
The car has full heated leather seats, Chilli pack,
JCW Alcantara steering wheel, R90 17" Wheels, full
JCW Body Kit, panoramic sunroof, Harmon Kardon Hi-Fi, rain sensor & lights on, auto dim interior mirror, basic bluetooth with USB and a front centre armrest
The things I plan to do it include the following...
-
JCW Leather Gear Knob and Gaitor
-
JCW Leather Handbrake Handle and Gaitor
-
JCW Leather Steering Wheel (if anyone wants my alcantara one I'll give you a cheap price when I decide to change it)
- Interior Colour Line changed from grey to red
- Door Armrests changed from grey to red
- ECU Remap to around 250bhp (any more and I'll be asking for trouble)
-
JCW Side Scuttles
I would love for you all to reply with any other recommended modifications to a 2010
JCW as I am new to the whole "have it how you want it" style of mini ownership, usually I leave them stock but I see my
JCW as a blank canvas.
Look forward to hearing your suggestions...
