    Just bought my 09 JCW Hatchback and holy cow is this car BA!! This is coming from an owner of a '11 GT500. The Shelby is a drag car though for different fun/trouble :lol: The MINI is my DD now and it's almost more fun to drive than the Shelby. Soooo now I have a forum to troll through, let the mod idea begin!!!

    Current mods are:

    Window tint, Outmotoring's black beltline tape, and a Stubby Ant.

    To come so far are blacked out scuttles, head/tail light bezels, gas cap, door handles, and wheels. The list will grow substantially after a few days of trolling here though hehe.

    Welcome, thanks for joining M/A!

    Dare I say I think you found the best MINI forum, but I am biased.

    Thanks

    Thanks all! Sorry for posting and running but I had a super fun weekend, my headache Sunday morning told me it was a little too much fun but oh well I'm a newly wed lol.

    So while slightly hung over on Sunday I took advantage of some Friday reading on here and popped off the front and rear bezels, side scuttles, and gas cap and painted them all satin black. Turned out great and pics to come! Anyone done the door handles yet? I have the little button on the outside of the handle to lock/unlock without using the key. Any info is appreciated.
