But the head and the WMS valve cover sticker do count as 2!

Serious modders dont' count anything that's held on with adhesive.

I dont remember seeing any base coopers so I think I should get extra credit for being a cooper. ( I can't do all the mods S's do. OCC, One Ball, Pully,ect.)


Anyway, here it goes

Under and around the bonnet:
1. Grill badge holder
2. Body colored grill (not a standard cooper thing)
3. Screamin Deamon coil
4. K&N Drop in filter
5. Nology Cool wires
6. MyMini Exhaust

Interior:
1. Euro Parcel tray
2. Passenger Euro Parcel Tray
3. Craven Speed Shift Well Cover
4. MyMini Rear Seat Delete
5. JL M4300 (stock head unit converter hardware included)
6. Focal 690 CA1
7. Body colored interior bits
8. 700W Inverter (installed driver parcel tray)
9. MiniFini Cup holder

Exterior:
1. MyMini Shorty Antenna
2. Side Grills Painted to match body color
3. White Turn signal lights (before they were an option)
4. 3rd Reverse light in Bumper (its an '06 so thats not standard)

Stickers and other sticky items:
1. "Powered by MyMini" sticker
2. "Super" letters above Copper on the boot
3. "Moto700" motoring ID (i think Im going to take those off)

Is that enough? I think so.

And like always, there is more to come!!

That's okay... I'm often overlooked because I'm so quiet.

And my MINI is overlooked because it's so plain.

Plain is cool. Muc better IMHO to be subtle and have your mods noticed by the true enthusiasts rather than the 60 year old who stops you to say "I love your MINI, the stickers are so cute"

If I could I would swap my S hood out for a cooper hood. The PWR air to water core though won't fit under the lower profile.

I was joking about being quiet and my MINI being plain. Check out my gallery and I think you'll see it's just about anything BUT plain.

I can't wait for it to all be DONE! I always swore I'd just do one thing at a time, even if it was small...just to always have something to do and to spread out the $$$$...but what started happening is I'd order something, then get impatient waiting for it...so I'd order something else...then I got MORE stuff I'm waiting for...super impatience...order more stuff...

And then it all started hitting my doorstep at the same time! And almost everything is waiting on some other little thing before it can be done...iiiieeeeee...

EDIT: I'm accepting suggestions/recommendations for performance mods, though. Note: it's a COOPER.

^ There's a couple of designs that will be posted in the thread soon. I think the Mad Modder Club will be very pleased with the designs.

Stay tuned.
