With the summer driving season just around the corner, AC Schnitzer has unveiled their new range of accessories for the MINI Cooper R57 Convertible.

On the performance side, the company offers an engine upgrade package which boosts the MINI Cooper S' 175 hp rating to 208 hp (226 hp for export models). Other "go faster" goodies include a limited slip differential, a height adjustable sports suspension, and an aluminum strut brace for the front axle.

In terms of styling, Schnitzer offers a sport exhaust system with chrome accents, several wheel and tire combinations, a new front spoiler, a sporty rear skirt, and a variety of different decal packages. Should owners feel obligated to spruce up the interior, the tuning firm also offers an aluminum gear knob and pedal set as well as several velour floor mats.
