Hello From Sydney - Details of our ride..

Hi All,

I also posted this up in the Garage but thought I should post here as well..

Been a long time lurker so I thought it was about time I posted up some details about our 2005 Cool Blue Cooper S Cabrio.

We purchased the Cabrio in April last year and have been having a heap of fun.

I caught the modding bug about 6 months after purchase.

The list, currently, is:

- 19's with Kumho 215/35's
- 15% pulley
- Front Strut Brace
- Harman Catback exhaust
- ALTA CAI
- Twin Gauge pod - oil presure and boost
- Colour coded wheel arches and side skirts
- Shelby stripes
- Lowered 1 inch all round (pics to come)

Here are some pic's, prior to being lowered.

So, G'day from down here. If you're ever in Sydney give us a yell!

Cheers
Peter

I would also try an engine damper, it was a major transformation for my Bini.

Time for an update - got sick of the wheels and moved to a set of 18's - Lenso GF7 in Shadow Chrome with 215/35 Kumhos.

Here are the latest pics..
