John Cooper Works released a new aero and bodykit for the R56 Cooper S not to long ago. Now the first pictures of new Mini Coopers with the bodykit surface I think about getting the aero myself aswell. The front looks absolutely fabulous on the Astro black R56 but the rear is not really my taste.
What shall I do?!

Milltek released a performance exhaust system for the R56 Mini Cooper S. It consist of a large-bore Downpipe and Sports Catalyst, Front Pipe, Centre Section, Connecting Pipe, and Rear Silencer with Twin Oval Tailpipes.
According to Milltek:
With only the full Milltek Sport turbo-back fitted, our Cooper S was producing a massive 202bhp!!! As standard, the car is quoted as 175bhp - that’s a gain of 27bhp.
The system makes a deeper and sportier tone than the standard system and subtly but effectively enhances the look of the rear of the car.
You can see the difference between the standard (OEM) and Milltek tailpipes in the photo above.
The price in the Netherlands for the catback is € 599 without mounting and € 1149 for the full system incl sports catalyst without mounting. The total system including install costs € 1349.

When I ordered my Cooper S the dealer told me it would take about 10 - 12 weeks until the new car was delivered. That means I would be able to drive it somewhere mid / end March. Yesterday I had to be at the dealer to sign my new salesagreement because I changed Punch leather to Lounge leather and added the alarm. The dealer told me a couple of people dropped out so my car would arrive a month early, woohoo!!

Ever since I saw a black mini with black rims I fell in love with that combination. When shopping for a new Mini Cooper S I found out John Cooper Works offered a set of 18 inch matt black rims.
Recently I found a good picture of the rims on a new R56 Cooper S:
The R105 Double-Spoke 18-inch light-alloy wheels come in three variants: matt black, burnished with black cavities or composite and it’s available for all Mini models.

A 5 minute long promotional video of the new R56 Cooper S. I don’t like the exhaust / engine sound to be honest but it handles like a dream, it’s incredible how much fun you can have in it!
