"Hello" from The Netherlands

Hello people!

how are you guys doin'?
Was looking for info for my '03 Cooper (will post pics down here)
And maybe I can provide you guys with some info or help as I did everything myself on my cooper :)

I own the car for three months now and i need to say: Great car... drives like a Go-cart! :D

It was BOG standard when I bought it in germany.. at a MINI dealer.
I bought it with 40k km's on the clock and it was/is in MINT condition!

I did convert it pretty fast into a NICELY LOOKING Mini! :D

Tell me what you think about it.

Standard :

I got the following specs and stuff "screwwed" on my car:

Full aero bodykit for a cooperS
CooperS exhaust with a Supersprint collector(4-2-1) and decat
Lowered by Koni's (1150 ride-heigt adjustable kit)
Sprayed the arches of the body :D
Sprayed my rearlights
PiperX powerfilter (NOISE!!)
18" Hartge wheels (I bought these wheels when they were silver with sportcontact 2 tyres but thought it looked a bit dull.. so I sprayed the "heart" of the wheel in the body color! :D )
Omp lower stab.
John Cooper Motorsport upper stab.

Next is
chiptuning,
Full sticker (from the front to the back)
rear chrome thingy on the back spray in black
Inside of the car some things being sprayed black
Toweye! (in red!)

This is my story of the cooper! :D

:grin: What Billie said! I'm guessing it translates as "Hello! A fastastic auto! ....." And I have no idea what the final phrase means. :lol:

I have a Jet Black 2003 MCS and there is LOTS of polishing involved, that is for sure. I've had mine look as slick as yours and MUCH dirtier than that piccie above, too! :razz: :wink: :lol:

Eager to see your new graphics, coen! :cool:
