We've shifted gear and detailed our first female-owned MINI this month. Carolyn Scott may be better to known to you as MINI2.com's nylo. Her Checkmate is certainly a head turner, details of which can be found in the full mailshot here.

If your brakes are feeling a little soft underfoot then it could be time for a change. Why not invest in the Lohen Mid Brake Kit, which replaces standard discs with larger items. All that pulling power with no stopping ability is useless, so we encourage you to think of the bigger picture and look at all aspects of improvement for your MINI. Further details can be found here.

If you a Gen2 Cooper S Clubman why not treat yourself and enjoy the last few days of summer in your MINI with the brand new Milltek Cat-back exhaust system?

News for July 2008! Yet further confirmation of Lohen's standing at the top of the MINI tuning scene this month, as Brembo announces our selection as the main UK 'Brembo Technical Centre' for the MINI.

Brembo is a world-renowned Italian manufacturer of vehicle brake parts and kits, who endorses only a handful of specialised centres to officially fit their brakes. Martyn Pearson, Brembo HPK’s UK Sales Manager said, “We’ve recognised Lohen’s passion and interest in MINIs and are pleased to be associated with their work. They have professional premises and employees, a skilled outlook and can handle all aspects of brake fitment. I would be happy to send any MINI customer to them, not least because the quality of work would be excellent. We would only endorse Technical Centres if we were confident their level of workmanship would be exceptional and not invalidate any warranty we provide: we know Lohen is capable of that: Lohen is Brembo’s ideal sort of partner and we hope to share in, and contribute to, their growth and success.”

We're adding a little variety to things with a colour change to our One. Here you can see just how easy it is to make the change, and we can help facilitate it. Why not give us a call to discuss ideas for turning your MINI into a real eye-catcher?!
