    Luckily the hand controls were installed by an authorized person.Bought it in March and love driving it.I am moving on with my life being a mom also,a 16 year old son that has been great to me since this happened.

    A BMW dealer did the conversion and did get the reimbursement too.Plans are the exhaust and intake upgrades first.

    Welcome, and congratulations!

    As was stated above, there are a few chair bound people in the MINI community. I think you are the first on M/A though.

    The way Chris ( MINI-5280 member) wheels his car with the hand controls, you would never expect a wheelchair to be thrown out of the car when he gets out. [emoji3]

    Let those mod's begin, and enjoy, maybe even think about going to one of the big MINI events around the country. [emoji12]

    That's one hell of a "Hi everybody!"

    Welcome aboard. Kinda curious to see how those controls are positioned. Where do you even go for that kind of modification? There can't be that many places around.

    My hand control setup is a Drivamatic Automatic Clutch and hands control system.Mine has the manual transmission and real easy to use.I even taught my son to use it although he is not in a wheelchair.Knows how drive a car with a manual transmission now and moves once in a while.

    Manual Transmission!? I am impressed. We are here to help and one thing we are good at is helping out with what mods you need to do next. sway bar, springs, cold air intake. Let the Modding begin.
    Oh and pictures of your Mini too.
