Well now i do have to say, bought it love it, and want to bring my own taste to it soon, Hey guys you can call me shiznight (gamer tag) or Brian, either or is fine with me, now for the pics

pro's 6 speed, turbo, red, shiny things EVERYWHERE, bad, 123k miles. a butt load for 2009 but one owner and all service done by the dealership so hopefully my time of owning the vehicle goes smoothly. let me know your thoughts

 

Congrats, looks great!

I'm always interested in 100k+ R56 cars, I'm hoping for long life from mine ( that I just got a month ago).

Was the interior as nicely treated as the outside? Looks like someone really cared about it!

 

interior including the driver's seat is perfect, looks like new, the only area sghowing any wear is the stripe decals on the front of the vehicle and a few chips on the front of the vehicle near the grille. it's obvious this car was mainly driven on the highway. now i just have to search what companies make different stripes and how to remove these ones

 

Hey, welcome! Nice looking MINI you got there! Good luck with finding any replacement decals. I've been looking for replacement decals for 2 months for my '06 CheckMate MC. If you find a place would you let me know? ha ha ha Welcome to NAM!!!

 

There are others, but I've had good luck with http://www.aesthetic-creations.com/ for vinyl. Lyle is good too: http://www.vinylstyles.com/index2.php#/home/

 

Welcome and congratulations. I am also the new owner of a higher mileage MCS and hoping to get many more out of it.

 

Welcome!

 

I just replaced the bonnet strips and added boot stripes from Aesthetic Creations. Very easy to do. Just take your time and be patient. Removing the old stripes is easy. Heat the back edge with a hair dryer and peel straight back very slowly with constant pressure. they'll peel right off. If it starts to tear just apply more heat. If you order from AC, order the bonnet stripes laminated. This will help protect the vinyl from suicidal bugs. After I got them laid down I gave them 3 or 4 coats of carnuba wax just for some extra protection, whether it helps or not, just makes me feel better.

Check out the Cinco de Mayo shindig at Jackie Cooper MINI in Edmond this Saturday. If you are interested give them a heads up you will be there. Some of our club will be going.

 

Congrats on the car. Looks good.

 

I'll check that out fly'n, Jackie cooper in edmond is where i bought this and i'm close to that area as well
