It should be a great time of year to buy a convertable. Good thinking!

Yeah, great deal on the Mini, especially coming from Washington...and an "OK" deal on the NISMO, for the same reason - January is not the buying season for sports cars...Just hope she'll arrive safe and sound in transport. At least she is enclosed and undercover all the way...

Congrats! Beware, the mod bug is a cruel and addictive virus known to be incurable! Anytime of the year is a great time to get a MINI!
Welcome!

Congrats and welcome! I received my 2011 JCW this past week and have not been able to stop finding excuses to get out there and drive it . I cannot wait for this break in period to be over with though so I can open her up on the autobahn before I ship her back to WA . I-5 has nothin on the autobahn LOL!

F55 update!

Little update on my F55 since last post.

Did the following installs myself. Was a bit apprehensive and although I'm a mechanical engineer taking the car apart is a whole another adventure.

1. UJ headlights (ECS tuning)
2. Storage Option Retrofit (Outmotoring)
3. Hidden Compartment with black checkered trim (ECS and Mini)
4. Click and Drive (Mini)
5. Mini floating center caps. I'm trying to hack these to put my JCW ones in place of the Mini. Will update.
Coming up this week:

1. LED DRL/Fog/Parking - my car didn't come with the photo option but I was surprised that they would put it in for me and do the coding sent over from Jersey apparently. I've been really excited about this one so I'll post pictures once they're installed. And I was very surprised that they didn't charge me an arm and a leg.

2. Rally lights LED - Being installed at the same time as DRL/Fog/Parking

3. Sports Stripes

Btw there are more photos on Reddit in the Mini community. My handle is @Dekota28
