If your proud of your Mini and want to shout about it send us an email and we'll post it here for all fellow New Mini fans to see. Email in a pic with a description of your car to newmini@ipcmedia.com. A pic of you with your Mini would be even better! |
 Electric
entertainmentMike Wildman Mike is the owner of newministuff.com that specialises in car electrics and in-car entertainment. This is a pic of his Cooper S out in the snow looking great. It's electric blue with 18in Dare wheels, Yoko rubbers and Halo front lights. Yet Mike's car is mainly full of electrical mods. Apparently it's one of only two in the world that has external door handle LED lighting and external puddle lights. It's also got interior accent lighting in the door handles and interior accent vent lighting. He's installed a motorised screen for navigation with Ipod, TV and DVD connections and the Mini's also got three amps, custom speakers and a custom Mini bass box with Mini logo grille. It's definitely a car to watch out for. |
 Get
the lookNick Utley This pic of Nick's Mini was taken from a stand at Silverstone last year and at the time he'd only owned it for two months. Since then he's been busy. He saw a Cooper S Works on his local dealer's forecourt and decided that's the look he wanted. So he added an S Fuel cap, two BMW spots, colour coded arches, sills, grills and mirrors plus three-piece BMW white lights. His Mini's also got JCW 18in alloy wheels with Pirelli P Zero Nero tyres, Shark Gill indicators and JCW Sparco seats. The car has a standard engine but that's not what Nick was interested in. What mattered was all about getting the look rather than performance. |
 Back
to her rootsKay Young This is Kay with her Mini Cooper at this year's London and Surrey Mini Owner's Club track day at Goodwood back in July. She had only been a member of the club for two months and although this was her first track event she was having great fun. Kay owned a Classic red Mini with a white roof 20 years ago, which inspired her to buy this one. Her favourite thing is the CD player and her current flava was Corinne Bailey Rae. |
 Get
off my bumper!Spike Friedman The build sheet of Spike's 2003 Mini Cooper S is very impressive. The car has every available manufacturer's option, including sunroof and black space cloth interior. An H&R coil-over suspension has been fitted and the car also features Alta 13in drilled front rotors with four piston callipers and stainless braided brake lines. The exterior has been spoilt with 17x7.5in Minilite EV2000 'Classic' style wheels and Toyo Tis Proxes tyres. It's got an Alta Cat Back exhaust system with custom oval tip and Milltek high flow exhaust header and catalytic converter. We could go on with all the other mods but the list is endless, but more importantly Spike's also fitted a rather cheeky 'Get off my bumper' brake light warning switch. |
