Another Newbie say'n hi. :)
 
Just bought a 2005 Copper S 3 weeks ago, been poping in here for a bit longer and thought it was time to say hi. :)
Have some questions that I'll post in the appropriate forum sections but for the most part it'll be a mildly modded daily driver. A pic of the new ride and the only thing I have done to it so far is the Carbon decal and "Joey Mod" headlights. And in the process of building a Stainless Steel CAI box for the K&N filter and 3" pipe.

Welcome finhead!!

Your MINI looks great! :thumbsup:

Thanks for the welcome guys. :) I hope to get it painted within the next month just trying to find the paint code I want. I would like to go with the more standard BRG none met in a satin finish. It has 135,000km's of highway driving so paint chips are aplenty. Good thing I'm a autobody guy by trade.:nod:

Thanks. :) No covers just 3M DI-NOC Carbon vinyl, I like it and for the price I think it was worth the try. I might end up molding the rings at some point (along with other stuff) and cast them in real carbon, wouldn't be that hard just need to find the time.
