Hello! I am currently waiting in front of a DMV for my Mini to arrive. It is an R53, manual checkmate edition. This will be my first mini and I am little excited! Pics to follow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just a quick little update. I posted on another mini forum, but I think I should document my R53 journey here instead. Here are the most recent pics of the car. So far I've had a blast learning about the mini. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Since I took ownership I've -replaced power steering return line -replaced missing headlight washer cover -new hood scoop -jcw front grill (lower needs to go on) -invidia catback -window tint -polished headlights -new belt tensioner -new steering wheel -passenger side window regulator -oil change -trans fluid change I am sure I am forgetting something. The car also has a 17% craven pulley, intake and ati fluidampr pulley. Also lower control arm bushings were replaced. Next on the list is a supercharger oil replacement and to get some different wheels. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
