Jamie Salley with her Mini Cooper S

Written by James Anderson Monday, 17 August 2015 16:56

Our latest ShockerRacing girl is from, you guessed it, Texas. Although many of the SR Girls lately have hailed from Texas, Jamie Salley is unique. What sets Jamie apart from the other Texas girls is the lack of a pony in the grill of her ride. Ms. Salley drives a Matte Chili Red painted 2007 Mini Cooper S and this is the first time SR has ever featured a Mini. This Mini was her very first car and she picked it out when she was just 15. Jamie tells us that she insisted that her first car be a manual and since then she has completely transformed it from stock to this bagged beauty.

Jamie's Mini Cooper started out life as a completely stock 6 speed manual with a 1.6 liter I-4 engine. In the last 4 years, this 19 year old has caught the mod bug and gone to town on this Mini. In order to set her car apart from the crowd, Ms. Salley added an Air Lift Performance Air Bag kit along with a set of Rotiform BLQ. She also went with a John Cooper Works Aero Kit, and used a Satin Clear coat on the paint to give it the Matte finish and then added the Vinyl Union Jack Roof. Apparently, Jamie likes Carbon Fiber since she swapped the Hood Scoop, Turn Signals, Door Handles, Mirrors, and Gas lid for CF versions. Inside, she went with Bride Harness', a custom roll cage, a customer shift knob and a customized rear seat delete with a wood floor! To add some performance, Jamie went with an Alta Intake, custom exhaust, and a Nitrous kit.
