2005 MINI Cooper S
 

First MINI on jw :) ?


Got this Cooper S 3 months ago,already 9000km of great fun :D

...
Don't really know what to say , think everbody knows the Cooper S :P ?

What's on it ? ;

- 17"S-spoke alloy wheel
- Air Conditioning Auto
- Leather Gravity Black
- Limited Slip Diff
- Anthracite roof lining
- Electric Panoramic Glass Roof
- Xenon Headlights


Plans for the future;

For now the only thing I want to change are the wheels, don't like those white wheels anymore :? Think I'll go for the R90 "Italian Job" wheels

Maybe also change the taillights to the ones with a white blinker, but it isn't that big a difference...don't know what to do yet :|

Works engine tuning would be great :o
but this'll be my sister's 1st car from november'06, don't think 210bhp is such a great idea :P


Some pictures I made this morning :wink:

Then made a soundclip, exhaust sounds great when you go off the throttle at 3000-4000 8) To bad quality s*cks, made it with sonycybershot :?

The Cooper is a cool car. Nice color too... Congrats!!! 8)

One of the funniest cars I ever driven! Must be great to find it in the driveway every day!

Nope.. probably the first BINI, but not the first Mini! :D :D

Congrats, it's a very fun car to drive!!

Just a thing, the LSD was an optional, right?
I think it only comes standard in the Park Lane special edition.

LSD was standard when the original Mini was on sale .... I hope you know what I mean :wink: :lol:

I have a Mini Cooper S too!! :D It's a 2006 model, i have it for about a month now and it is PERFECT :!: If you want i can post pics by tomorrow..

Congrats.

A very nice car! I bet it's loads of fun. 8)

Shame that there are too many Mini's about at the moment :bah:

Thanks :)


At first I wanted to put those lights on, but then after seeing how they are mounted on the car and how much it would cost me( :o €630) , I changed my mind.

I got it because this one has the "chili package" .
But you can also have it as a single option, is about €175 I think.

Love the mini cooper S.id love one in the future especially a works edition.there are 2 modified ones near me,one with 280hp tuned by BBR and another one im not sure about as its been completely debadged but its exhaust is slightly bigger than stock but they are 2 oval pipes,looks and sounds amazing :D

congrats on the car,like the colour aswell :D

:oops: I'm very lucky my parents are paying for all this.
No idea how much the insurance is..
Next car will be my dad's current daily driver, E46 M3.

It nice, but I wouldn't have chosen it if I had the chance ordering a new one.
I'm second owner, we found it in the MINI NEXT program = second hand but you get the same conditions you get on a new one --> 2year warranty & 2year assistance.
New one woud have been Chilired + black roof/mirrors and those wheels I posted :) Too bad the waitinglist was 4months to get a new one :(

You can buy directly to Hella, instead of going trough BMW.

:wink:

Cooper S is very good car. I had a pessenger ride with it and I didn't know until it handles like a kart. It is fast and hadles good on road what a man needs more from hothach?

What colour would you prefer?? Mine is British racing green with white roof+wheels

This is my Mini Cooper S

Nice pics :lol: but you should clean your car! Now!!

ckaktas, very nice ! Any mods planned ?


I just had a new idea :idea: :D
JCW carbonfiber air intake :o

Photoshop ;

If someone happens to have real pictures of Dark Silver with such an intake, please post :)

:D

Nah, I really like it this way.
Even thought about changing the wheels ,front<->back, so they also get full of brakedust :P

Thanx!! :D I will have it washed today :D


On Monday i will tint the windows and i like the small lights too!! Are you considering an upgrade for the power :?: :?:

No jcw motortuning, because by the end of this year this'll be my sister's car, she'll have to learn how to drive in this...so 210bhp isn't such a good idea :)

Ordered this last week :D should come in by end of this week

JCW carbon air inlet

And the next car is even cooler, an e46 M3 :P

Air inlet looks cool :)

Nice, looks good. Can you please show a picture showing the whole car (front or front 3/4). With the new carbon item I mean

Definitely cool!

Thanks :D


What would you do ;

leave the white mirrorscaps/white roof -combo as it is , or get carbonfiber mirrorcaps ?

http://xs102.xs.to/xs102/06244/carbo...els.jpg.xs.jpg

I'd paint them all like the rest of the bodywork ;) or get carbonfiber roof which lowers center of gravity :D

Carbon roof seems like a good idea :)

new set of wheels arrived :D !

CF roof sounds great :shock:
CoOl car dude ;) and from your name i get it your into boats as well? ;) would be cool seeing a mini pulling a speedboat :lol: :wink:

Time for the next "indepth" photoshoot.
Car looks great with the new rims and carbon air intake.

Nice car and shots Cigarette! :D

I love the Nordschleife sticker on the back!

The Combo pic with the GT3 is great :mrgreen:

Nice combo pic and action shots (the steady ones)

Where did you get that ring picture from?

http://www.mw-sportfoto.de/ :wink:

Nice shots, where did you get that awesome 'ring sticker?

nice shots, and it's brillant to have somebody else taking pics of you on the NS!

As for the sticker, they sell them at the NS's café

The Mini is a good starters car, then you'll have the GT3 so just be patient... ;)

Döttinger Höhe Gasstation :wink:

Handling was great, you really "feel" the car.

On the straits didn't go for it 100%, more like 70%.., since it were my first laps, didn't know what kind of corner is coming :? But I think once you really know the circuit you need more power for those long straits 8)

I would deffinitly pay someone to get one of those stickers for me!

I deff want one of those stickers for my car. Also love the combo with ur dads GT3 :drool:

Too easy to put such sticker on your car if you never paid a visit :P

I waited my first visit before putting one on my car :)

And don't try to tell me it's too far away from the US :D it's still unfair to have one shipped to you :P

^^^ please? :puppydogeyes:

hahahaha just kidding

So true! :)
