Picked up a r53 mini couple weeks ago with some front end damage (salvage title). Just finished it an drove it out on the road and is amazed by the handling and performance (cant forget about the sweet whine of that supercharger)! Some pluses were already done to the car; alta v2 pulley, jcw big brake kit and milltek exhaust. Now time to make some more power and have some fun!!!

 

Good luck, hope the repairs hold up.
