New Mini Cooper Graphite

Barks · 9 Apr 2009 at 16:45

Enyone else noticed this? It's basically a Cooper in dark silver with white indicators and nicer alloys as standard. I don't understand why they've done it, surely a way to annoy Cooper S owners?

Looks damn nice for a Cooper though, especially with the 17""s

Probbably a special edition.
Look up mx5s if you don't like special editions

That does look very good. Although it's still a mini :p.

She has yes

Stripes. Yay or nay?

[TW]Fox · 9 Apr 2009 at 21:55

Yay. Not many cars can get away with tacky stuff like stripes but the Mini can. Do it but don't do it aftermarket.

It's no extra charge so I guess it makes sense to leave them on and then have them removed if they don't look as good in the flesh.

Do any of you know how much it'd be to get some decent red break callipers on it, like the JCW kit?

You can't get any performence upgrades from the factory on the Cooper, only the Cooper S. You can get plenty done aftermarket though.

Whereabouts are you based? A number of specialists can fit the JCW front discs, pads + calipers as an upgrade. It might even be worth asking the dealer.

Is that picture black & white or is it really that grey

It's already a bit of a girly car so would rather keep the colours more masculine

Kent. Do you know roughly how much I'd be looking at?

At least it doenst have a pair of green or red ears sticking out of it like some of the current mini's.
