New Member - Shelby!

Hello everyone!

I'm Shelbs - 23 and a Marylander born and raised

Just purchased my 05 Mini Cooper S 6 speed in British Racing Green on Saturday and I am already in love ! No mods as of yet - don't plan to do to toooo much - but first plan is probably white wheels. So we will see how things come along.

white wheels don't stay white very long with MINI brake pads.

Awesome motor I really wanted a BRG but I didn't have much to choose from at the time. You'll love it, at least do an intake for the whine.

That's a plan as well - i'd like a little more roar too, just don't wanna do too much. thinking a test pipe? good idea, bad idea for mini's? Besides emissions etc...heard they can have bad affects on some cars?
