The Mini Cooper S has been a hugely popular hot hatch choice over the years, rivalling the likes of the Golf as an affordable way to have a fun and modifiable car.
The R53 is probably the most popular of all the Mini models, with the Cooper S offering a good amount of power from the 4-cylinder supercharged engine, and its styling still holds up over 20 years after its initial release.
The R53 Cooper S is also easily modifiable, meaning you can achieve noticeable performance gains from a variety of parts. The best way to do this is with our Mini Cooper S R53 Cat Back Exhaust System, which offers a sporty tone and is freer flowing than the standard system. Fitting this system increases power and torque across the rev range and is constructed from T304 stainless steel for durability.
Another simple and cost-effective modification is our Mini Cooper R53 Strut Brace. This is easy to fit and provides instant results, sharpening up the Cooper’s steering response and reduces chassis flex too.
Both of our most popular parts mentioned above can be found below along with a selection of others for the Mini Cooper R53.
