Hiya guys,
My name is Coen de korte
I am on this forum reading and buying stuff for a few years now..
time to start a "showroom"
after I finished the last project (#9):

I went "back" to the R53.
I was looking for a good, fair and standard Mini cooper S R53.
After a few days I found some dealer who really wanted to buy my R56s and had a 1st owner R53 in the showroom.. he made me an offer I couldn't refuse so things went pretty fast.
I am still waiting for some parts to come in but I have started slowly with modding.
This is how it looked when bought.

I must say I was not very happy with the white roof but I will change this in time..
The Sspokes went to the R56 and I have now these temporarly BBS RD wheels

Just had a small mod done to the airbox... for more cool air + little more SC noise..ehm music

I will keep you guys in the loop about the mods being done.
I hope to have my new camber plates in tomorrow so I can fit my coilovers this friday so I can fit My vsxx ezfida's![Big Grin Big Grin](https://www.mini2.info/images/smilies/biggrin.png)
Obvious things that are being modded are:
exhaust,
brakes,
bumpers + skirts,
spoiler,
splitter,
pully,
TMIC,
etc
I hope I can mod this more slowly then the previous cars so I can enjoy it more!:blushing:
Will keep you posted.
Cheers and thanks for looking!
Coen
