    Hello everyone!

    I'm relatively new to the forum, but today is the day. I'm getting my brand new Salt 2011 in chilli red with a white top! It was planned to be a Horizon Blue but in the end I went for my passion for the red colour.

    I'm so excited to get my first Mini. Someone told me that I shouldn't call it "IT", therefore I think her name will be "Salamandro".

    I'll need some tips on what to do with a new Mini and what kind of mods can I make to it.
    There are 2 mods which I would like to make it: Change the front grill and change the pedal to the metal one that comes on the S. Any ideas where can I get those from?

    SO EXCITED!

    A truly happy day today...... :D
    And might I say, Happy belated Birthday to Salamandro. Congratulations to you and your new baby.

    Don't forget to start your garage with lots of info and pictures of Salamandro.

    Welcome and congrats on the MINI. For the two changes you want to make, the best first step is to look through some of the vendors that sponsor the site. For the grille, I swapped out my MC's grille for the JCW Blackout grille - purchased from outmotoring.com. I'm pretty sure they have pedals, as well, but haven't looked at them myself.

    Good luck and motor on!

    Welcome aboard and I really like the name. Not sure why exactly, but i really do.

    As to advice on mods, that might be hard, as the folks here never talk much about those kind of things. :lol:
