Not sure I'd like the rear view with that camber but from those pics I really like it. Nice drop, wheels and colour.

I like minis and that is a great example! Doesn't need anything else to the outside IMO.

Cheers mate. Not planning to do too much to the outside now... going to (red) Lamin-x the rear lights and maybe de-chrome the headlights and belt line. I will keep my eyes peeled for a correct coloured JCW kit too, but not holding my breath!

Next up, power mods should see just over 30bhp from exhaust, supercharger reduction pulley, plugs and air box.

The list is endless of which car, can even get ones with a boot if for some reason you needed the space so you don't have to mess up those other cars you have.

However I'll wait for his reply because there might be more to it than that. May even have Steve's race car then it all makes sense then.


Personally I can't be bothered with modified car insurance yet alone insuring for the track. It's very likely I will bend the car while out on track, I don't want to scrap a 10k car.

Cleaned it for the first time since mid March because it was meant to be going into BMW for some warranty work on Monday but they have changed the appointment

So I took a pic while it's clean

Yup supercharged/turbocharged Mini's are amazing when it comes to getting power from them tbh 25-30bhp can come from the pulley alone on a low mileage healthy running engine.

That'll mean I'll just about be able to catch my mate with his 211bhp R56 JCW... however, all he needs is a map and couple of other bits to see 270-280bhp which'll put him well out of my league

Got the exhaust adjusted to sit higher in the cut outs better and tail pipes straightened. Also got the middle box taken out as the scorpion is very quiet, no louder than stock actually.

It is meant to have 4 pipes? or is that a custom job by extreme in Harlow?

S4 has quad pipes. Rs4 has 2 ovals AFAIK.

Still, they look too big for the rear valance. Definitely aftermarket rubbish.
