First Mini

Hey Everyone,

I just purchased my first Mini (2010 Mini Clubman S Rally Edition). Very Happy with my purchase and looking forward to some serious drive time in her! I'm already looking into a few performance mods for the future...Any suggestions are more than welcome.



Thank You!

Congrats, and welcome to NAM! MINIs lend themselves to upgrades and mods, but be warned: once you start, it's hard to stop

Personally, I don't think I've ever seen a Rally Edition. Post some pic when you can.

Happy Motoring!

Welcome to NAM! Congratulations! That's not a very common Clubman. Would love to see some pictures. One of the first and best bang for your buck mods would be a rear sway bar. Hope you enjoy your time here.

Very nice! Always been a fan of those green side mirrors on the Rally Edition. Thanks for sharing.

Some people ordered option or added them on to create it. But if its on the build sheet , then its real. I have seen 2 of them in real life and I have seen 1,000's of MINIs over the years. Whats mods are you looking at ?

Its all there right on the sticker from the dealership. I have the luggage carrier but took it off and have the stock wheels which came mounted with blizzak snow tires. Actually if you look in the back of the picture you can see the luggage carrier standing on end in the garage!

As far as mods I was thinking downpipe, exhaust, intake, tune, suspension, etc...

Thanks,

Any companies in mind? For the exhaust on the Clubman the exhaust options are not as many as on the R56 hardtop of course. But there are some options.

I've heard good things about the milltek downpipes and exhaust. I was also considering the jcw tuning kit that mini sells. Any recommendations?

We have an application guide online and some articles which feature Borla, Quicksilver, Remus, NM, Agency and Mini Mania that might help with your selection.

Also, Milltek downpipe are featured so feel free to check it out.

Milltek if you want the complete set up, good sound, will last a long time , other option is the JCW rear muffler and then delete the resonator.
