BEN’S R53 COOPER S

In the last project update, Wrights Auto Body Repair Centre carefully fitted and painted the CCF fibreglass bonnet and tailgate, along with the polycarbonate rear screen and windows from Theia Transparency. Not only did we lose 28kg in the process, but we also took the opportunity to remove the rear wiper and a quartet of what I personally think was horrible spotlights fitted by the previous owner. The car was beginning to look much cleaner, less fussy and rather fantastic. Fantastic, but not perfect…

You see, the previous owner of our Cooper S iconic R53 colour combo. So the Wrights team got to work on restoring the OEM freshness back, with a few additional mods thrown in for good measure.
