i've had my new 2011 cooper a fews weeks now and never before realised just how much I've always used the engine note for banging off my shift points.
The stock exhaust is just Sooo boringly quiet and homogenised..... so I finally had the resonator removed over the weekend.
Now that's more like it. Now there's just a touch of blatty rattiness and volume when I put my foot in it but it's not overtly loud or obnoxious.

I have the lower chrome grill piece but decided against the Fog Light surrounds because I'm OCD!!
Am hoping to use some of my MINI Moola to get the Driving Lights for Molly's 4th Birthday (Apr. '12).

Pulled my MINI into the center of my garage,turned on the oscillating fan and went to work.I washed the car and then used a clay bar on all the painted surfaces. Then wiped her dry and applied a polish after that i finished up with a coat of carnauba wax (turtle wax). But thats not all, i then pulled one wheel at a time washed and waxed inside of wheel and then applied a tire dressing and reinstalled. Cleaned windows inside and out, shook out floor mats then went to the gas station and filled up. I started at 0600hrs and just finished at 1130hrs. five and a half hours, but a labor of love.

Used my amazing handling to avoid a ups truck. the truck driver fell asleep behind the wheel and his truck cut over into oncoming traffic and straight towards me and i swirved out of the way and it ended up totaling 3 cars behind me. the first car that got hit was pretty fatal. i thank my mini

You're lucky there was an empty space to swerve into to avoid that truck! Traffic here in Phoenix can be so backed up at rush hour that you have no space to swerve....

I still think it might be a bit much Chrome for me, I've got the JCW Grill, and I'm thinking of going with Black Driving Lights and Caps just to contrast the colors a bit, also getting MS MOLY some Chrome Mirror Caps!!
