Welcome to NAM and congrats on your new MINI. It looks fantastic but I'm sure its looks will only improve with time. Thanks for providing pics right from the start. We love pics here at NAM. Please post pics of mods to come. Happy motoring and don't forget to wave.

so... I still have my grills in the box... and after thinking it over, I may plastic dip everything that is white to black. Having red, white, and black on the car is a bit much for me, so just having red and black would make it easier on the eye I think.

Welcome

As you prob already know Moss is getting out of the new MINI business. We bought a bunch of their inventory and are happy to continue providing you parts.
