    My wife and I picked up a 2008 Cooper S R56 about two months ago and have been loving it! We definitely have been bit by the MINI bug and have become a little obsessed. Looking forward to learning as much about this car as possible. I've really enjoyed making small changes so far.

    Also, this thing handles like a dream. We're in the upstate of South Carolina and it handles the mountains beautifully.

    The first change we made was to swap the white side mirrors out for black ones.

    I've also changed out emblems since the old one was so worn.

    A few other updates. Swapped a lot of the chrome out for black.
