Mini R56 Hot Chocolate arrives tomorrow! New to everything Mini... HELP :o)...

Hello All,

My new HT cooper is set to arrive in port tomorrow. It is an automatic hot chocolate with a white roof and 16 inch wheels. What are the first mods you would recommend that won't break the bank?

I am SOOOOOOOooooooo excited... Don't know where to start ... any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Some people replaces the antenna with the stubby antenna. $20.

Here's a link: http://www.cravenspeed.com/products/...y-Antenna.html

Congrats! I hope your car works as well for you as mine has. Brown has always seemed to me like an odd color for a car. What made you select it?

Depends on the size of your bank! for under/around $200 I'd say rear sway bar or a cold air intake.

Congratulations! I got mine in March and I am loving it. I have not done any mod, still trying to decide. I want to make sure I do the right thing.

Congrats! I bought a 2010 HCCS in April. I love it! So far I added a clear bra and tinted the rear and side windows. Have fun!

I can't wait to see your toffee stripes. I have been thinking of adding gold stripes. Anyone have gold stripes on their choco clubbie?
