Congratulations

Car is looking good. Black is a good color. Get some "ZAINO Clear Seal" and it will never look dull.

I used to drive an Infiniti M35. I always wanted a mini and they offered a great deal so I guess it was meant to be.

Also, with the economy being the way it is... I wanted a more economical car.

My Mini Specs:
Midnight Black / White Roof
Premium / Convenience (with bluetooth & USB ipod) package
LSD
Rear Fog Lamps
Punch Leather Carbon Black Seats
Center Armrest
Chrome Line Interior
Dark Grey Colorline
Piano Black Interior
Anthracite Headliner

Additional Options I would have liked:
Xenon Lights
White Turn Signals (anybody want to trade taillights?)
HiFi Sound System
JCW ( )

Hopeful Future Mods (if budget allows):
Black Mirror Caps
Black trims (grill/headlight/taillight)
H&R Springs
Rear Sway Bar (H&R or Alta)
18" wheels (not sure which ones yet but I really like the Rota MC's in Steel Grey or Black)
Any other suggestions will be appreciated.

Dislikes:

Torque steer

Halogen Headlamps suck (need something brighter)
