MINI Cooper S heading for some work...

[iain_cam]

Hi,

I'm getting the wheels on my Cooper S refurbished soon, but I wondered if I should stop there....

I've thought about changing tyres - still have the dreaded runflats after two years of ownership! What should I put on?

Is the official MINI bodykit a good idea? Is it possible to retro-fit? Will it harm the resale value?

I think the car's powerful enough, so I wasn't really thinking about upgrading anything there - if there is something that will make a noticeable difference and is worthwhile, please do tell me.

What about changing wheel colour when they are getting refurbed? The car currently is Electric Blue with black roof (see my profile) and they would look cool on black wheels...or blue if I could get the wheel-arch plastic and sills painted body colour.....

Cheers!

Ditch the ruin-flats. They're just terrible. IMHO, the best upgrade I made to my MINI (apart from power upgrades) was the JCW seats. They're just fantastic.

Upon the JCW seats, how much to they change rear leg room? (Occasionally I take passengers in the back.) The seats at the moment are half cloth and half leather - do the JCW seats come in the different trim options or is it just leather?

Thanks for the replies so far - looks like I may be changing the ruin-flats!
