13 Kite Blue HT

Hi everyone,

Just picked up a new 2013 Kite Blue hardtop as my DD. Nothing fancy, here are some pics. Plan to add some lightweight 16" wheels w decent rubber, and some suspension mods in the near future.

Greetings and welcome to the NAMily and the world of MINI.

Love the color on your Cooper.

Looks like your MINI will have some spirited roomates and I hope you are able to garage it alongside those Porsches. Would hate to see the little guy have to endure the challenge of the elements.

Thanks for the pics and good luck with your new DD... may you both share many miles and smiles together!

Motor On!

Nice DD. Cayman R and Spyder too, you must hate heavy cars lol. Welcome. I love Kite Blue JCWs, a bit expensive to get the Aero kit but maybe once the bug bites you .

+1 for the aero kit on a Cooper Kit Blue.

Very nice collection , Cayman R and Spyder , hope the MINI does not have to park outside. If it does get a MINI car cover.

R56 MINI Cooper Hardtop Car covers. Link is to a 2007 R56 MINI Cooper S, but they are the same covers.

Its a Cooper Clubman with the JCW Aero kit, but gets you the idea.




Congrats

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. I'm thinking after the wheels, suspension and brake upgrade, I might go for just the front jcw aero bumper. I'll keep everyone updated on my progress!

Unfortunately, the little guy has to stay outside most of the time, but will be stored in the winter. Don't worry, I take great care of my cars and I'll make sure to protect my paint and trim parts from the sun/uv rays as much as possible.
