Had this about 3-4 months now, lowered it on Eibachs, added aero side skirts and some 18s. No more plans for it now, maybe some light tints.




Won't be to everyones taste but I like it

It's the proper works, 210bhp so a few other bits from an S, exhaust/filter/wheels, diff SC bits etc MUCH more responsive/quicker than an S. I was against buying one but it was an impulse buy but I've really grown to like it. Great fun, handles nicely, always on 'boost' with no lag, looks nice IMO

Looks quite smart does that. But I think the price of them is a total rip

They are expensive I agree but the build quality etc is very good, IIRC this one was about 22-23k new as it's spec'd up a lot but they do hold their value quiet well so we'll see. I can't lose as much on this as I did on the Evo anyway

Do 18s go on without any arch mods?

Yeah it's not bad Dave, 0-60 in 6.7ish, 145mph top speed. 18s fit easily with no arch mods.

I love minis and i think that looks ok but personally i prefer the wheel options that you get for minis as they suit the character of the car more whereas the ones that you've put on take that away

I think the standard S spoke 17's are boring, every Mini has them. Want it to stand up and look a little more special really. The Cooper Works rims are a rip off too, circa £1800.

Gone off any Porsches now, not really sure what I want next. Just happy with something that doesn't batter your wallet every month although this isn't cheap to run :S Been averaging about 24mpg and group 19 insurance doh! free servicing etc is a god send though.
List of options includes cruise control, full leather, chrome pack, hid lights, panoramic roof, auto wipers, harmon kardon stereo etc plenty more, only thing it doesn't have is sat nav which isn't too hot anyway.
