Picked up my Mini yesterday ! I still can"t believe my good fortune.
Every time I played with the configurator, I would paint it BRG all over and thats what I have. It actually has more options than I would have picked, with Xenon lamps and auto air, but other than that it's pretty basic, just the way I like it.
Managed to only put about 100 miles on it yesterday, and today I waited for UPS to arrive so I could start modding it.
I added a BSH catch can and boost tap. Very easy to install, it had to be because Way Motor Works forgot to send instrutions, but their service was top notch as far as I'm concerned. I found the instructions on BSH's web site after I finished the install. So what they say is true, men don't read instructions, only as a last resort . I also added a NM heatshield, which had instructions, but you almost didn't need them.
No motoring today, the Mugg brothers ( grandchildren) showed up for an overniter and to be honest, the're more fun than the Mini . Tomorrow look out. Might get to take some pictures.

 

Congrats! Isn't it awesome...I hope you enjoy it for a long long time.

 

Gratz!!!

What's a boost tap?

 

It's a little part that you place in a vacuum source, particularly so you can run a guage that will tell you how much boost or pressure you are getting from your turbo.

 

Fun times! I'm a new owner myself and really look forward to every opportunity to drive. Congrats!

Hmmm, I can usually tell by how much tummy I leave behind.

 

Aww Maugre, I'm so happy for you. I hope you have lots of enjoyment modding and motoring! Yay!
