General Information

Year 2004
Make MINI
Model Cooper S
Color CR/W

History
Found at the BMW used lot traded in on an 5 series a week earlier by some 'executive'. I saw it online and had it in the driveway withing 2 days! I had always wanted a MINI and when I saw it I said "that's different... I have to buy it!"
----------


Exterior

Stock MC40 appearance except for a couple stickers from OutMotoring and the Dragon.
-----


In-Car Entertainment

Sony head with HD Radio and Sirius Satellite Radio, classic Alpine V12 series 5 channel amp and classic MTX Blue Thunder 10" Sub.

Ian's Auto-up mod with track mode.
-----


Under the Hood

ProMINI CAI with Alta silicone pipe and custom ABS plastic shield to keep it cool.

Also have the 'One-Ball' mod done but considering an upgrade... too much rattle.
-----


Suspension

Lowered with H-Sports and stock struts for now.
-----


Wheel and Tires

The original R90's are awesome but I hit debris in the road the other day and now have Bridgespokes on the way until I can find a replacement R90.
