Special Vehicle Concepts (SVC) of Newport Beach, CA has been up to something...... and this is it!!!

The SVC Mini S comes with a MINI accessories Aero kit
and custom painted black arches. It's lowered 1in. with Eibach springs and custom
swaybars. Acceleration is improved thanks to a
Magna-Flow Cat-Back dual exhaust system, coming with a more aggressive
growl and an increase of 19hp. Stopping power is also improved with Stop Tech 4-piston calipers
clamping down on punched performance rotors. The SVC Mini S rides on
big P255/40ZR19in. Toyo Proxes that wrap around sporty 19X8in. M&S alloy
wheels.

To see pics you can view them here..... SVC-MINI
or
Take a look in our Modded MINI Gallery

As I'm sure some of you will agree this is one sweet MINI!
I hope this is but a taste of what's to come for our beloved MINI.

Happy Motoring,

Clover,
I can't vouch for the 19's all I know is that our source tells us it runs with 19's!!
Re: the Arches..... I love this look!!! Actually been kicking this around for some time now.... I think these pics just sealed the deal.

Are those wheel arces painted the factory ones or an add on?

 

That is one of the sharpest MINIs I've ever seen.
Now I will have something else to daydream about.

 

>>Are those wheel arces painted the factory ones or an add on?


Yes.... they are the factory arches painted in Black.
IMO very nice touch!

If I'm not totally wrong a 255-40-19 is about 1" taller then the stock tires don't know if that is possible on a MiniCooperS (even harder on a lowered car I assume)

I have some 265-35-18 BFG Force KD maybe they will fit my Mini when I get it
(yeah wishful thinking I know)

 

it's a beauty....truly a beauty....
nearly
kinda
maybe
almost
sorta....
as nice as mine :smile:

 

The glossy black trim kicks a$$! Nice! Then you wouldn't have to worry about matching body color or getting wax on the trim. How durable is painting the textured black plastic trim though? As soon as the plastic gives way to a bump or bend, the paint is cracked, right? Hmmm. They should have just made the trim chrome/metal like the body to begin with. After hearing those with 17" tires have a much bumpier ride than 16"ers, I wouldn't want to push it to 19"! Not for me. Can't see the exhaust, but I'm sure it sounds great. Ok, I'll stop now.

 

It's gorgeous! I checked on the tire and a 255-40-19 is 27" in diameter (from tireracks website) stock 17" are about 24" so I have no clue how they did that!

That is quite an ace MINI! Very, very, very damn nice, I can't wait to see other exterior and interior mods by this company.

 

I used to design and build concept cars for one of the Detroit auto companies. Unfortunately, the "concept cars" are often cheated so bad that they were not driveable on the street. That looks like the case with the SVC Mini. There is minimal clearance between the tires and the wheel wheel arches so that if you were to hit the sightest bump while turning a corner you would damage the arch. Looks great in the driveway though. I'm going to the SEMA show in Las Vegas this November. Maybe it will be there and I'll get a chance to check it out.

I still don't think those tires are 27" tall I'll bet the tires are maybe 235-35-19 which come in at about 25.5"
I'm pretty sure they will bring it to Sema so it be interesting to see what is really on there!
The car is looking great so I would go with a combo like that if it is driveable!
well I haven't gotten my Mini yet so I don't have to worry about the upgrades yet!

I will follow up with our contact for a confirmation on this.

I agree with the painted wheel arches!!! There was a chili red mini with the wheel arches painted red to match the body and it looked HOT!!!! That's what i want to do with my samantha!! And the slick black finish on the wheel arches of that mini look hot too!!!!! someone grab a fire extinguisher!!

 

One word...Su-WEEEETTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I checked around a little today and either 235-35-19 or 255-30-19 come in at about 25" so I think that could be what they have on the SVC Mini!

I agree with this. I haven't been able to stop thinking about how to make mine nice and glossy black since I've seen those pics!

Alas, I'm also concerned about the durability. Anyone out there experienced in these types of mods that could make a comment or suggestion?

 

the links didnt work for me

 

Probably due to the fact that this thread is a little over 6 years old now

 

LOL how did you find a 6 year old thread in the first place

 

I HATE when that happens....
