Hello to all members. I recently bought my first mini, a 2010 S hardtop in Dark Silver. I just love to drive it as all of you probably know from personal experience. I also have this thing about making my new car my own. What I mean by that is making some modifications that set it apart from the other mini's on the road. I welcome suggestions on where to start and what to apply from all of those with much more Mini experience than I have.

Thanks!

Hey, TX!
Well.....we are fairly new at this as well but I can tell you that paint, graphics, and wheels are some fairly easy mods that may help you make the car "your own". It's funny though.....even from attending one or two events, you can quickly see how it's the people that make their cars unique....sometimes, no real mods are required!
I am sure there are other forums on here that you could check in to which deal specifically with the aftermarket mods.

Have your car repainted in a Scots plaid, the Blackwatch is nice.
