Hey all! Laforze here (Derek)

Just picked up my 2008 Cooper S yesterday. Bought her used with 32k miles on it and she drives like a beaut!

Just wanted to introduce myself. I will be looking into the basic aftermarket mods and thought this would be the best place to start doing my research.

Just a bit about me

Age: 32
Location: SoCal
Cars: 2001 Eclipse; 2008 Cooper S

That's about all for now. Oh, here are a couple pics of my two rides

 

Congrats & Welcome! As a former SoCal and then NoCal guy I must say you're in the perfect local for MINI motoring adventures. Enjoy...looks like someone took great care of it for you.

 

Thx for the warm welcome doobahdoo! Yea, i hope to have some fun with the Mini community, as I already have had great experience with my eclipse club.

 

Cograts on your Cooper

 

Welcome aboard & grats on your new S! Drive 'er in good health

 

Welcome to the forum, good loooking MINI, enjoy.

 

Welcome! Pretty cars, thanks for sharing.

 

DS/B with web spokes? Niiiiiiiiice!

 

Haven't posted in awhile, but here are a couple of updated pics.

Right after a wash pre-tint.


After some Tint.


What I just ordered today.. Yay!



And just because i know there are some Beemer lovers here, this is a shot of my dads ride. He's pretty **** about keeping is car clean.

 

Nice Shift ****!

 

Welcome Derek!

 

Blacked out my chrome lining around the car two weekends back with some plasti-dip. Came out really nice




All i need to do now is just get some overlays for the door handles (black or carbon) and i'm rid of all that hideous chrome.

 

WOW! Nice modifications. I love the look.

 

Thanks man! i'm just making it to my liking.
