    :cornut: Welcome to MA and congratulations on getting your R53 MINI. Yeah someone did a lot of mods on that car and I could see why that you would like to have some of them changed back. That car is ready for autocross and HPDE(high performance driving experience) and probably already has done them. Some new buyers would think that,"I'm all set for racing!" Unfortunately she's way over modified for that and some mods would actually have to be removed. The good side, you can save all of your money for regular maintainence.:Thumbsup:

    Nice MINI! :Thumbsup:

    Welcome. :beer

    'New here myself. You'll find that the folks here are absolutely easy to talk to and never make you feel like you're asking dumb questions. Oh, and if you haven't already, take some time to really look over the site and dig through the library. There's a metric butt ton of great info that has, without a doubt, been painstakingly compiled.

    Welcome to M/A.

    That is a nice MINI you have there. Once you peel all that black off your MINI will really shine. That black stuff isn't my favorite either. Lots of folks do like it though.

    Well, sold my other small car...my '67 bug.
    So, now I've got the Mini in the garage where it's safe and warm! :Thumbsup:
