2004 Mini Cooper CVT (pepper white/black top)

This is the wife's car, but I Just started working on the car. Just couldn't leave it alone :D

I have already added a few things. Most prominent is the MCS front bumper. Other than that, it's ditching the run flats with "regular" winters and summer tires.

One small mod is Ian's Auto Up windows . These are a little feature that you don't appreciate until it's gone. Stock MINI's in N.A. do not have a one touch up feature. You have to hold the window switch to close. Petty for some but a wonderful convenience for others.

This is the CVT model so engine performance mods will be minimal if any beyond an intake and exhaust. Just no point. The car's paddle shifting IS fun but the base Cooper is not a car to mod in the engine department. Handling is very similar to the MCS so it performed very well in the first auto-x event we tried it in.

also check out my VW Jetta 1.8T

just installed MCS front bumper along with new remus exhaust tip peeking out at the back
