Hi! I live in Mexico and just ordered a 2010 Mini Cooper (no turbo for me ) last week. I'm so excited about finally being able to purchase one. It is going to be a Horizon Blue one with white top. Since I am a newbie, I would like some advise from expert modders like you. So far, I've bought it a grille badge from MiniBee and a pair of Union Jack side markers scuttles. I think the next step will be adding a honeycomb grille, even though I'm open to new ideas. As soon as I get it I'll be posting pics of it. PEACE!
Welcome! Here are a couple inexpensive mods that I think are important: a shorty antenna and a Whalen shift knob (or JCW shift knob if you prefer). If you are getting runflat tires, replacing them with non-runflat tires is the best thing you can do to improve handling. After that, the sky's the limit - enjoy!
Look up Way Motor Works. He is the mod KING... Welcome and best wishes with your new found addiction!
Here are some price ranges for mods:lol: http://www.motoringalliance.com/forums/mini-stuff/3413-how-much-have-you-spent-modding-mini.html Mark
Thank you everyone for the warm welcome and the short advices. I just ordered the short antenna and will be looking forward for the JCW upgrades. Has anyone got an idea on where can I get the white sidemarkers like the ones that come with the S version?
Welcome aboard, but you must stop calling your MINI "IT". Rules require that you think of a propoer name. Jim
Outmotoring.com is a good source for original equipment parts. Here are the lenses: Clear MINI cooper Side Marker Turn Signal Light Lens
Welcome, gotta love Horizon Blue. Gotta get the silver bulbs to go with the clear side lenses, I don't have the lenses on my site but do have them in stock. As with most parts I don't have everything on the site some day I will, but I'm busy working on cars to work on the site.
Sorry jbewley . I promise to think of a name for my new Mini Thank you bee1000 and WayMotorWorks that's exactly what I was looking for. All of you guys are awesome!
