What made you buy this car?
Got left at the lights by one in my old car so wanted to know more about them. Took it for a drive at my local Mini dealer & when the supercharger kicked in I was hooked!
Best modification and why?
The retrimmed headlights in purple quilted stitch alcantara. It's a completely unique mod & seeing people do a double take & point them out to friends at car shows makes me smile.
What's next?
Carbon fibre steering wheel, carbon fibre A pillars & carbon fibre bonnet grill surround.
Dream car?
Audi R8 V10
