Just bought my first Mini, DFW area
I just bought my first Mini a 2005 Cooper S, I love it. It needs a little TLC here and there but it going to be well worth it

If you haven't already, check out the local MINI group Metroplexmini.org. Lots of good resources available I've seen through membership. I've especially noticed lots of gen 1 owners.

Glad to see you didn't go the rattlecan route
plasti-dipping will look much better and hold up way better
