    Great looking polished car, great job. Not a fan of the rear spoiler, but it’s how it makes you feel. Definitely go for black wheels gloss or Matt. We got a Mini Cooper s 2007 and it has been mapped and super fast now.

    I would tint windows and front lamps. Paint wheels gloss black and spoiler would look way better then now. 👏 well done looks great.

    Looking good mate. I’d paint the wheels gunmetal personally as that will be pukka , black will look to dark with the paint. Also I would take the spoiler off it’s a bit big but personal preference. Good job mate👍

    Take rear spoiler wing thing off and sell it on. Put original cooper s spoiler on and keep it as original as possible. These wee cars are going up in money so the more original the better in terms of asking price and profit. Just my opinion but that's the way of the market over here in Northern Ireland. You should take it to a mini meet for a video and see if there's any interested buyers and keep us updated. Looking forward to more videos dude!

      If it was a JCW, you'd have a point about keeping it as original as possible, but a normal R53? Bit much to be saying keep it stock when it isn't some absolute minter example.

    Spoiler looks ok looks like a mod a mini one they are pretty decent kit, look at a mini dismantler like le mini for some used parts I managed to John cooper works area side skirts in black from them. Also think about getting the areo front grill gloss black is a unclip clip in part but makes a big change. I wouldn't go to mad tunning beyond a smaller pulley and airtech intercooler colder plugs etc

    The car needs the correct side indicators fitting as the ones you have are not cooper s ones.

    Fantastic that it has been looked after but the amount of repairs that had to be done just proves that overall the series 1 new mini cooper s were rubbish. That is general consensus, they improved with the turbo models

      The N14 engine is the worst ever made. Timing chain and direct injection are the weak points.

      Sorry but you obviously know nothing about Mini’s! The next Gen R56 Mini was far more unreliable than the supercharged R53. BMW partnered with Peugeot for the engine….and that’s all I need to say!
