    German tuning house CoverEFX has just launched a new package for the MINI Cooper S Mk1 that includes both cosmetic and performance modifications.

    The transformation begins on the outside with a flat gunmetal grey vinyl wrap for the body contrasted by the orange colored roof and front fenders as well as the glossy black trim for the aero package and body trim.

    The smoked out lights and the new 17-inch multispoke alloy wheels in black with an orange rim further enhance the car's looks.

    Under the hood, the MINI's 1.6-liter turbocharged engine is boosted to 240-horsepower while the three-door hatch rides on a lowered sports suspension.

    The total cost of the package is set at €8,000 which comes to around US$11,400.

    I like the flat body wrap with the gloss black accents. Surprisingly, the orange gives it a good overall look.

    Not my cup o tea.... Although I find the gloss black a refreshing change from all the flat black that is out there in MINIdom. I do like the fact it is an R53. :D

    One more thing, that antenna is good for holding a dozen donuts easy. :donut1:
