Hello everyone, I'm new to MINI and just purchased a 2010 JCW hardtop. I have already learned that the previous owner had hit something (pothole?) and deformed the left strut tower, so there's that. I look forward to getting to know all of you and learn from your vast experience with MINI's!

No pics yet but it is Dark Silver with a black top and mirrors unless you are referring to the tower. MINI of Reno qouted $795 to repair and another $170 to align.
No it doesn't pull but the left camber is -1.5 and can't be adjusted.
