2010 S Convertible and I am very excited!!!

I started looking around on the web for aftermarket parts, don't even have the car yet and I can't wait to start tinkering. I am curious though, for everything I have read, the 2010 is pretty much identical to the 2009.

I would ask anyone reading this to verify this is indeed an R57 so I make sure my aftermarket shopping is for the correct components It seems there is a great deal of commonality between a R56 and an R57 as well.

Also, if anyone has a tuning shop recommendation in the greater Denver area, I would welcome the input.

Good to be here,

Welcome to the site! Yep, the Mk II cabriolets are indeed R57's. Here's a cool cheat sheet that I'm trying to commit to memory.

 

Welcome to the forum, a typical reaction from a lot of guys, start shopping for mods before they have the car, always nice to be ready!

 

Lol, indeed. I think my bark is greater than my bite in this regard. Moved states a little while ago and all my tools stayed behind. Give me a few months to rebuild (literally need a new garage) and then I'll be off to the races. But in the meantime, I get the impression there are some smaller things I can do to rattle the window panes.

T minus 36 hours (estimated) ... ugg, this is killing me

 

9 more hours!!!!

 

This is one of my favorite quotes, and it will definitely apply to you, as of tomorrow when you actually have your Mini; it is by Lewis Carroll,

Nice. Please share what you end up doing. I love my convertible but haven't changed a thing except for adding the strut brace so I'd like to hear about your mods. Good Luck.
