Mitonna Tep: 2009 Mini Cooper JCW

Mitonna Tep was introduced to the car scene by his older brothers. In 2009 he bought a 2009 Mini Cooper JCW, and decided to modify it shortly afterwards to make it match his own taste and style. His goal was to find a perfect balance between performance and a show-ready car. Now 10 years into the build, he knows it never really ends.
