Picked up my manual Cooper S on may 27th, installed the tuning kit 2 days later so I could feel the difference the tune makes. This is my first mini and I couldn't be happier!
Just washed the car tonight and went to the gas station by my house to take a few pictures, hope you guys like it.

Congrats! The thunder grey looks great doesn't it! how would you describe the difference with the kit as I'm thinking of getting it fitted?

Cheers,

Mike

Thanks, you too! I love the color , it's dark grey in daylight and light grey in dark , great color. I'd definitely recommend the kit, it's not a crazy power gain but it's a really nice tune and done well. Added boost let's you hear the turbo in certain rpms, and the car is more eager to accelerate. You won't regret it I promise , it makes the car come alive.

And how would you describe your experience of the noise...?

 

[Kamz]

Oh man where do I begin lol the sound is just sweet as ****. You'd love the back fire sound with the valve open. I can't believe you can buy that from mini , it should be illegal lol

Just added 12mm spacers on the rear and some red accents on the front and back. Hope you guys like it

Looks great Kamz. How much was the dealer willing to deal on the upgraded tuning kit? Is it worth it to you now that you have it? I'm considering getting it and my car should be here in the next 10 days or so. Thanks man!

The kit was about $2k(including the tips) and $400 for ecu reprogramming and exhaust installation, so $2400 installed. For me the tuning kit is what makes this a great car but honestly for most people original power figures and exhaust sound are more than enough. I hope that helps !

Yep, thanks Kamz. I think I'll hold off and drive it for a month or two without.
