The October/November issue of Performance MINI is packed with loads of modified MINI goodness for you to get stuck into, beginning with our gorgeous cover car. In a world where silver, grey, black and white are the dominant colours, it’s always so refreshing to catch a glimpse of something more exciting. Not only is British Racing Green a stunning shade it’s also just about as iconic a MINI colour as you could name. Our cover star has a lot more going for it than just its contrasting colour combo, though, and this track-inspired R53 Cooper S is absolutely loaded with awesome mods, and it’s a perfect package that effortlessly blends performance with style. Elsewhere, we’ve got a seriously sexy wide-arch R56 Cooper S Bayswater that makes a big impact with bags of flair, a ferocious F56 GP3 that’s been built to take on track days without breaking a sweat, a finely honed R53 GP1, plus an R56 Cooper S that goes big on style, with air-ride, a custom ragtop and a trike on the roof, naturally. There’s loads more for you to enjoy beyond all that, though, with a detailing guide from Meguiar’s, a short-shift fitting guide, a third-gen F5x survival guide to help you be aware of any pitfalls and prepare for them, plus a track guide to Donington, project cars updates and plenty more.
