Proud MINI Motorer

Hi Everyone,

I love my Mini. I've had it for seven months now and its been amazing. I couldn't ask for a better car. I have a pure silver Cooper S with the cold weather package. (I didn't think I needed or wanted this package but the heated seats feel really nice in the cold mornings) I have only done some small upgrades/mods so far. I tinted the windows, added the auto up window feature, changed a couple lights, and installed the Harmon/Kardon Drive + Play. If you have an ipod this is a most have for your Mini. I have the control in one of the small cup/change holders and the display is up by the sunroof controls. I'll upload pics of this later.

I'm planning to start some mods in the new year and am looking for suggestions. I want to do a lot but don't know where to start. So if you have any ideas for me please let me know.

Welcome
Do you want cosmetic mods or performance mods?

Well, you say you want to do a lot but you don't state any financial parameters. In one swing of the bat you can add 37 hp and countless smiles with the JCW Engine tuning kit. I don't think you would regret it.

Welcome to NAM. Remember ounce you start MODing you can't stop. CAI, pulley reduction (15, 16....19) and exhaust are good start.

Those sound liek some great ideas. I was thinking about one of the Dinan Stage upgrades.

I almost went with a Black one but I couldn't get soon enough.
