2003 BMW Mini Cooper from UK and Ireland - Comments

Nothing, first impressions are this is going to be a great relationship.

The Cooper is just a Rocket on wheels.

Very early to come up with any bad comments, but will keep you informed.

Could you please post any good accessory sites that you may know of.

This is just a update on my wee wean!! She is still my pride and joy, still getting washed twice a week. She has now done 2000 miles and had her 1st visit to the garage, the drivers seat was sticking when tilted forward to allow access into the rear seat, it was put right by my local mini agent, New seat back frame fitted.

That's all for now, will keep you updated.

P.s.

Still looking for mini accessory sites and any ideas where I might locate a tartan roof decal?

I have one with 17" wheels and sports suspension and find it a little hard on bumpy roads. The lumber support is also too much and the seats would be better without the lumber option. The half leather option comes with a lumber

adjustment included. The larger wheels are great and do attract more looks than standard coopers get!!

Mine does about 40 mpg overall which is very good.

To the last commenter. If you put after market wheels on with low profile tyres you obviously will find a harder ride whereas with the original wheels the ride is quite comfortable.

Here is a link to a pretty good performance site to upgrade your Mini.
