Makes it look like an S and should be a straight swap except for the rear bumper. The bumpers will fit straight on. I know Keith has done it to his One. Should be pretty easy. There are lots of "how to" guides on MINI2. The bonnet should be as easy as it looks. The hardest bit would be swapping the lights, unless the S bonnet has the lights still in it. But still even thats not difficult. Lots of people have done it so check the guides on MINI2. And don't forget to take lots of piccys! | ||

Sounds exciting Rob. Image: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v355/cu.kev/sig-1.jpg | ||
