I told my wife, aside from some aesthetic refinements and small stuff, I wouldn't touch the Cooper until, at least, the maintenance warranty ran out. Well guess what? Hmmm... What mod will I do first? Any ideas?
Trade for an R53 or have a carbon cleaning done first. Really I would do anything that "you" wanted to always do to your car first and all the other Mods depend on how you use your car.
Wait...we get to spend your money? [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SazBzvQ0ZAM"]Muttley Funny Laugh - YouTube[/ame]
Yeah... I just had to have that done. That was $1500+ my kid's college isn't going to get. :biggrin5: Say, is installing a catch can still the thing to do to help with that problem?
To be completely honest I am not an R56 guy so I really can't say what mods you should do. We do have a lot of wise R56 owners here on M/A that should be able to guide you and point you in the right direction.
What do you find lacking, brakes, power, handling, cosmetics? Start where think it needs the most help. Ditching the run flats and going a normal tire is good start. Bigger rear sway bar is a popular item. A day at the track to make the driver better is always a good mod.
