Heres my Cooper S now most of its modifications are done.

Bought it 10 months old with 10,000 miles, next 12mths put on 21,000 then bought a second car to keep this down and now sits at just 41,000.

I know most of you hate 'em but I love it so much, so much fun and gets so many looks. Done a few small mods, as follows:

Aerokit
Spotlights
JCW Sills
Bonnet Stripes
Roof Graphic
Private Plate
Chrome Interior
Milltek Exhaust
JCW Airfilter
Team Dynamics PR 1.2 with Toyos
GTT Spiroslot discs with Kevlar pads
GTT rear strut brace & OMP front brace

All these (performance) mods have helped, simply looks - imo! - goes, handles and stops brilliantly now biggrin

yes agreed. It's probably due to the tyres being lower profile than you would normally get on standard wheels. Still looks great but a bit of lowering would have the car looking even better imo.

i also agree it could do with lowering, just not sure as the roads around where I live are awful and already keep catching the front!

better of with some JIC or BC coilovers from the states, can drop from 0-60 mm so you can run stock when needed and say 20 on the front and 30 on the back for normal roads give paul @ 1320 a shout as he does the jic's there said to be amazing they are also one of the few to change the top mounts front and back in the pack for very little cost
