First post to NAM

Hello mini people! I recently purchased my first mini. A 2011 Cooper S. And I am in love with it! It's my 3RD car ever and it's definitely already my fav of all time. I can't wait till I can afford some cool mods. I used to have a 2007 Acura rsx and I never did anything to that car. I really dint like it that much. But with this car, I want to customize everything and luckily you can I you have the money. So I'm here looking for what will suit my style. My mcs is pepper white and has sport, cold weather and premium packages.

I was wondering also if I have the xenon lights and power fold mirrors, does that meen I'm supposed to have the power wash headlights? Because I looked under my hood and the washers are there but there isn't a hose connected to either of them, it's like I have them but I just dont Have the button or hoses.

My first mod was getting the windows tinted and adding the "rubbish" bag and checker board rear view mirror. I am planning on getting the extra mini fog lamps and since the black head light housings are $500 from the dealership in raliegh NC, I'm just going o get the lamin-x tint and front bumper protector. My big purchases will be the black conical rims ( I have the silver ones) and either coil overs or lowering springs ( I don't know much about suspensions) and aero kit and big brake kit. So I'm here trying to build my shopping list and see what I have to save for.

I also have the extended warranty and I don't want to void it so Im guessing I will have to start with adding JCW stuff. Is that right? Wel that's about it for now. Thanks everyone! Oh and my mini's name is Betty White lol
