    Re: My Mini Cooper S, time for the JCW package!

    thanks for the story and the pics Mike, very informative. the cooper s is a great car, and probably even greater with the jcw kit. i look forward to you report and your comments also on fuel consumption, which probably is the only weak point of this car.

    cheers

    Re: My Mini Cooper S, time for the JCW package!

    Hey guys,

    here are some photo's I took today of the car. I will post my review on what I think about the kit once the car is run in again. Promise

    Anyways, what do you think of the way it looks now?

    I will let the video speak for itself!

    Enjoy (Alex, you're going to hate me for this because after seeing this video you will put the kit on your car! )

    Man, Mike !!
    Thanks for the video!!!

    It just sounds amazing, that roaring sound in those accelerations, I am definately going to install the exhaust system, which in theory it should sound more or less the same as yours....

    I love the cold starts in the morning driving to uni", it really has a peculiar sound, I also love the sound when you touch the steering wheel, that robotic sound jejeje...

    Definately installing the works sound, I believe there is even no comparison between the video and real life!!!


    A PIC OF MINE JUST SOME HOURS AGO !!

    Re: My Mini Cooper S, time for the JCW package!

    Mike, I have to say, you have a beautiful house, and I love your car choices. My family has had 3 Mini's since they came out. We even had the 3rd Mini to come into New England. We had a Green Mini Cooper, a 2005 metallic blue/purple Cooper S convertible, and now a 2005 white Cooper S. I'm so in love with the car, and I've promised to myself I'd own one when I'm older.
    The only complaint I have is the gas mileage too. My mom gets around 26 MPG, I get about 14, but that's another story .

    Anyways, I love this car, and I'll be a diehard Mini fan forever.

    Hi alex,

    I see you have the same colour as mine! Great minds think a like!

    Wish I have the Xenon lights though, that option was not made known to me when I ordered my Mini.

    no I'm just a poor photographer with my brother's expensive camera. The wavey patterns are just the clouds etc...

    I should really get some better pics
