Hi from Italy! R53 Cooper S & R59 Roadster JCW

Hi guys, I'm Alfio from Riva del Garda, a small town located on the Garda Lake in Italy.

I used to own a Cooper S with some mods (aero kit, Mak Veleno wheels, carbon trims, Sparco seats, Bilsteins, JCW intake, JCW exhaust, cams, ECU tune, Ds2500...).



I sold it a while ago and bought ad Audi A3, but got bored and I wanted to go back to the Mini world in great style, so I bought a brand new R59 Roadster JCW.
In the pictures it has Tenzo R wheels with Advan Neova, KW springs, and a few tweaks, nothing major.





What do you think?

The car has received some upgrades recently...big ones actually, I think I'll open a thread to see what you think!

Welcome to NAM and congrats on your new MINI. What do I think? I think the pics are fantastic and love all the red accents.

Sorry I haven't posted yet anything else.

Just so you know, the car has now a full exhaust system, ECU tune, bigger Intercooler, Coilovers and direct intake...more details will follow!
