Newbie here I would like to ask what are the best upgrades to the new MSC? Such as who and where do I get the best bang for the buck . I'm talking about upgrades such as chips, intakes, exhaust, suspension,int upgrades , JCW bits and more

So far as soon as my new MCS arrives (8weeks) I plan to do

Window tint
Shorty antenna
Redline int bits

Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks in advance. Let the list begin

I'd add springs & wheels to your initial list and then sit back while the vendors get caught up on their product development. The jury's still out on how good or bad some of the exhausts/intakes/chips that are already on the market, while some of the big names are still only in the R&D phase. There are some expensive bits that I've bought & installed only to have to been forced back to stock.

Oh & add yourself a Whalen shift ****, top notch fit & finish, it's a toss up between that & my Rota RB's for favorite mod.

 

^watd you have to put back to stock?

 

Springs, intake and wheels/tires

 

first and foremost....new wheels and tires.

then lowering the car so it doesn't look like a 4x4 is essential. doesn't have to be anything drastic...I went with the eibach springs and I am very pleased and it is at just the right height.

 

Get rid of the ugly generic shift **** and ebrake handle and replace with unique hardwoods from Robin Casady, a member/vendor here. They're the 2 things you see/come in contact with most in the car.

 

I like my ugly, generic shift **** and e-brake handle

 

Climb under the rear of your MINI with a can of black spray paint and paint all the aluminum and bright control arm surfaces. I did this as soon as I got mine home. Now the only thing you can see are the twin chrome exhaust tips.
