  • Hot and Spicy Chili Red Mini Cooper

    Red Mini Cooper
    This is a 1995 Mini Cooper. The car was recently repainted in chili red, the color of the hottest heat. Now it’s even dazzling with chrome wiper, body-colour matched wide wheel arches, 13-inch Sportspack wheels, two strong and bright front spotlights, and the iconic white bonnet stripes. Well, look at the photos again and it could be nicer with chrome washer set as well as windscreen chrome fillet. The design of this car is common in classic Mini world but it often wins a lot of flashlights from camera in any Mini events, convoy, or gathering.

    If you feel boring with the ordinary way to open your car door, why not try something like this? This Mini (probably a MK5) is spotted in the UK during a car event.
