Mini Philippines is now offering the special edition of the Cooper S variant called the Convertible Sidewalk Edition. This was done in partnership with the British United Automobile, Inc., the official distributor of Mini vehicles in the country.
The Sidewalk Edition still uses the same platform as the Cooper. It only comes with more exclusive features and badges that add excitement to the overall top-down driving experience. Whether in the city or province, the Mini Convertible Sidewalk Edition’s extroverted exterior appearance surely fits in.
The Mini Convertible Sidewalk Edition
One of the most exclusive features Filipino car buyers can benefit from the Convertible Sidewalk Edition is its deep laguna metallic body paint finish. This helps the limited edition become instantly recognizable as it is the first time for the model to sport this body paint.
Aside from the exclusive deep laguna metallic body paint, Mini PH is offering other options for the Sidewalk Edition such as midnight black metallic, white silver metallic, moonwalk grey metallic, enigmatic black metallic, and thunder grey metallic.
The interior comes with exclusive feature adding more flair
The Mini Convertible Sidewalk Edition is fitted with 17-inch light-alloy scissor 2-tone wheels exclusively made specifically for the Sidewalk Edition. Also, the soft top in the Sidewalk Edition is also exclusively made, featuring artistically woven-in arrow graphics.
Inside, drivers and passengers get to be welcomed with exclusive leather seats with contrast stitching in petrol and energetic yellow. Sidewalk badges or letterings can be found on the door sills and at the bottom of the sport leather steering wheel.

Mini Convertible Launch
The MINI Convertible was initially introduced at the Geneva International Motor Show in 2004. A year later it was released in the market and offered in three versions. In 2007, a limited edition MINI Cooper S Sidewalk Convertible was revealed at the 2007 North American International Auto Show. It was built to accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour with a maximum speed of 215 kilometers per hour.
Its second generation was launched in 2009. It was equipped with an “Openometer” that shows the amount of time the convertible top was lowered.
In the Philippines, the current generation MINI Convertible debuted in 2018 complete with a refreshed look.
