Welcome to the madness.

Excellent choice of colors - Chili Red is the fastest

Thanks everyone, I've been making good use of this forum since before I got the car, there is so much information here. Figured since I have it now I should stop lurking.

LOL, you Chili Red guys crack me up. Honest answer is I picked this Cooper S based on her mileage not her color, sorry . Only 33,400m on a 2002

First Appearance Mod: facelift MINI One black grill. The car has a little too much chrome for my taste (last owner loved chrome, added mirrors, grill, and interior trim pieces) so I figure changing out the slats with black will tone it down some and along with the smooth chrome style of the facelift. Still not sure what to do about the mirrors, everyone else loves them but I'm not convinced.

I got mine for the same reason...would have preferred Chili Red, but found an '03 with every option except nav - 39K miles - blue, but it's still OK.

Maybe when my powerball numbers come in I can custom-order an '11
