Description:
So you've noticed the unique bits of spoilerage - the carbon fibre wing on the roof is particularly eye catching. Apparently they were actually designed in a wind-tunnel. The 18-inch wheels were a new introduction and each of the 2000 cars has its production number stickered on to the top of the roof. Oh, and did we mention that there's no back seat, just a "race" brace linking the two rear struts, a factory deleted rear windscreen wiper and some reduction in the sound insulation which results in a 50kg reduction in kerb weight?
Without any further ado, we present to you the 1st generation Mini Cooper S GP. Its more than a little special! This little 160kw fire cracker comes packaged in Thunder Blue Metallic with Panther Black Recaro sport seats and silver finish on the interior surfaces. Sport leather steering wheel with multi-function option, Dynamic Stability Control, Limited Slip Diff, Seat heating with height adjustment and a CD player worthy of your 2006 Sam's Town album by the Killers. We suggest you play track 3: "when you were young" . FSH & Books are present.

2006 Mini Cooper S. So you’ve noticed the unique bits of spoilerage – the carbon fibre wing on the roof is particularly eye catching. Apparently they were actually designed in a wind-tunnel. The 18-inch wheels were a new introduction and each of the 2000 cars has its production number stickered on to the top of the roof. Oh, and did we mention that there’s no back seat, just a “race” brace linking the two rear struts, a factory deleted rear windscreen wiper and some reduction in the sound insulation which results in a 50kg reduction in kerb weight?

The first JCW Tuning Kit to be made available for the Cooper S was an upgrade for the Cooper S, producing a total of 200 bhp (150 kW). Released in 2003, the kit consisted of the following components:
- Uprated cylinder head, gas-flowed and ported
- 11% Reduction of the supercharger pulley size, making the same supercharger spin faster for a particular engine speed
- 1-step colder, Colder Temperature Range spark plugs
- Uprated exhaust system (maintaining the same header and catalytic converter)
- Remapped ECU
- Decorative badges, individually numbered engine plate and certificate signed by Mike Cooper
At the time, the kit could not be factory-ordered, but had to be retrofitted at a Mini dealers or from John Cooper Works themself based in West Sussex , but from late 2005 the Cooper S could be ordered with the upgrade straight from BMWs factory.
In late July 2004, an vastly improved 210 package was launched that increased power further to 210 bhp (160 kW), with the following components:
- Uprated injectors (380cc/min instead of 330 cc/min)
- Remapped ECU for the injectors
- Uprated air intake system and air filter with vaccum controlled flap
- 200 & 210 versions came with 2 A4 sized certificates one for installation and the other for authenticity as now in 2022 provenance is very important
