MINI COOPER
Externally, the colour coded wheel arches and bumpers give the car a smoother look, also giving the appearance of a lower ride height than a usual Mini. The Kahn 18" wheels fill the wheel arches in spectacular fashion, really boosting the look of the car, whilst not looking over the top.
The interior of this car is very unique, with fully re trimmed BMW sports seats in the front. Also the rear seats and door cards being re trimmed with the same yellow and black leather to match.
Other enhancements have been made to the interior, such as chrome bezels on the speedometer and rev counter. There is also a chrome ring around the base of the gear stick.
When it comes to tuning, this car isn't shy either! A Piper Manifold helps the exhaust gases flow more freely, with a Super flow front section and Play Mini TT Style back box, which all combine to give a sporting exhaust note and more power.
A Piper Cross Induction kit has been fitted to improve the breathing, this gives a louder induction roar, although it is important that a cold air feed is given to the filter, as they can have a negative impact on performance if they start bringing warmer air into the engine.
The owner of this car, Clare is absolutely meticulous when it comes to looking after the car. Already she has won trophies at shows in the show and shine competitions. Clare is also involved with mini2mini, a Mini club run by enthusiasts for enthusiasts, who support both the classic and new minis.
