2005 MINI Cooper S
 
First MINI on jw :) ?


Got this Cooper S 3 months ago,already 9000km of great fun :D

...
Don't really know what to say , think everbody knows the Cooper S :P ?

What's on it ? ;

- 17"S-spoke alloy wheel
- Air Conditioning Auto
- Leather Gravity Black
- Limited Slip Diff
- Anthracite roof lining
- Electric Panoramic Glass Roof
- Xenon Headlights


Plans for the future;

For now the only thing I want to change are the wheels, don't like those white wheels anymore :? Think I'll go for the R90 "Italian Job" wheels

Maybe also change the taillights to the ones with a white blinker, but it isn't that big a difference...don't know what to do yet :|

Works engine tuning would be great :o
but this'll be my sister's 1st car from november'06, don't think 210bhp is such a great idea :P


Some pictures I made this morning :wink:

Then made a soundclip, exhaust sounds great when you go off the throttle at 3000-4000 8) To bad quality s*cks, made it with sonycybershot :?

Nope.. probably the first BINI, but not the first Mini! :D :D

Congrats, it's a very fun car to drive!!

Just a thing, the LSD was an optional, right?
I think it only comes standard in the Park Lane special edition.

LSD was standard when the original Mini was on sale .... I hope you know what I mean :wink: :lol:

I quite like the colour combo and the wheels - in fact... I prefer the stock ones over the ones you want to put :?

What I miss - and it's something that I really like in the new Minis - are the fog lights... they're supercool!! :P


Thanks :)


At first I wanted to put those lights on, but then after seeing how they are mounted on the car and how much it would cost me( :o €630) , I changed my mind.

I got it because this one has the "chili package" .
But you can also have it as a single option, is about €175 I think.

What is insurance like for that car as a 19yo ?


:oops: I'm very lucky my parents are paying for all this.
No idea how much the insurance is..
Next car will be my dad's current daily driver, E46 M3.

It nice, but I wouldn't have chosen it if I had the chance ordering a new one.
I'm second owner, we found it in the MINI NEXT program = second hand but you get the same conditions you get on a new one --> 2year warranty & 2year assistance.
New one woud have been Chilired + black roof/mirrors and those wheels I posted :) Too bad the waitinglist was 4months to get a new one :(

You can buy directly to Hella, instead of going trough BMW.
