Hello everyone!

I'm the proud owner of an orange 05 R52 non-s Cooper. I bought it about 2 years ago, but since I'm in the Navy I haven't had much time to do anything to it really. Now I've got something like a shore duty so I have plenty of time to spend in the garage. I've been poking around this site for a few weeks and have had many of my questions answered. So far I've replaced the stereo, speakers, & kept the SWC (pain in the a**), and got a CAI but haven't installed it yet. I'd like to replace the exhaust and the skirts which are really faded due to just being out in the sun a lot. Also the weather stripping around the top needs some love, apparently this is a common problem with ragtops. Other than that I'm still deciding on what to change or keep the same and just fix up. Whatever I decide to do, I'm excited to finally be able to do it.

 

Got some experience. The fun begins. It's a blast to accessarize. Post some pics.

 

Welcome. Lots of knowledge out here to help you along.
Enjoy the modding or just plain fixing it up.

 

Welcome to the club and thanks for your service to our country!

 

Thanks for the warm welcome! I'm going to give him a bath tomorrow and then post some pics.

Welcome!

 

I gave him a much needed bath. You wanted pics, so here he is. Meet Spike

 

Niceeeeee! Great color. Nice looking wheels. What is that color, kinda hard to tell.
Spice Orange maybe?

 

17" Kyowa wheels, were actually on when I bought him about two years ago. Yes, I love the Spice orange.
